Riddle: A man is locked in a room with a serial killer. The killer says that he will allow the man to escape if he can beat him in the serial killer's favorite game. If the man loses, the serial killer will kill him. The rules of the game are as follows: 1. Each man must take turns placing a coin on a perfectly round table. 2. The coins must lay flat. 3. The coins cannot overlap each other. 4. The coins cannot hang off the edge of the table at all. 5. The first man to run out of room to place a coin on the table loses. The serial killer is very confident in his ability to win at this game, so he lets the man go first. What can the man do to guarantee that he wins the game?

Show Answer ▼

Answer: The man must first place a coin in the center of the table. He then must replicate every move the serial killer makes on the opposite side of the table. Eventually the serial killer will run out of places to place a coin and the man will win.

Riddle: A dead female body lies at the bottom of a multistory building. It looks as though she committed suicide by jumping from one of the floors. When the detective arrives, he goes to the first floor of the building, opens the closed window, and flips a coin towards the floor. He goes to the second floor and does the exact same thing. He continues to do this until he gets to the top floor of the building. When he comes back down, he states that it was a murder and not a suicide. How does he know that?

Show Answer ▼

Answer: She couldn’t have jumped from any of the floors because when the detective went to each floor, all of the windows were closed.
