Riddle 56 - The man who invented it doesn't want it. The man who bought it doesn't need it. The man who needs it doesn't know it. What is it?

 

[Spider-Fan]

Love?

 

[wiegeabo]

Life insurance?

 

[R_3]

good guesses, but no to both.

 

[wiegeabo]

Well, I figure the last part, with the unknowning man, deals with death.

Mrs Jones is lying dead on a bed, and on the floor beside it is a pair of scissors. The scissors were instrumental in her death, yet there is no trace of blood. Her body reveals no signs of any cuts or bruises. How could she have been murdered with the scissors?

SOLVED

 

[Spider-Fan]

She choked on them?

 

[Sgt Philatelica]

She choked on them?

That's not it

 

[Spider-Fan]

They were lead scissors, and she licked, and got lead poisoning?

A woman from New York married ten different men from that city, yet she did not break any laws. None of the men died, and she never divorced (or had a marriage annulled). How is this possible?

She didn't marry them all in that one city, possibly country?

She performed the marriage ceremonies, and didn't actually get married to them.

Good answer

 

[Sgt Philatelica]

She would still have broken a bigamy law - that's not a municipal offense.

 

[Sgt Philatelica]

She performed the marriage ceremonies, and didn't actually get married to them.

Yes, that's it.

Nice idea, but no.

A famous magician claimed to be able to throw a ping-pong ball so that it would go a short distance, come to a stop, then reverse itself. He added that he would not bounce it against any object (like a wall), or tie anything to it (sort of like a yo-yo). How can he perform this feat?

SOLVED

 

[Spider-Fan]

It is on a string.

 

[Sgt Philatelica]

It is on a string.

He said he wouldn't tie anything to it.
