Riddle: A boy was at a carnival and went to a booth where a man told him, “If I write your exact weight on this piece of paper then you have to give me $50, but if I fail, I will pay you $50.” The boy looked around and saw no scale so he agreed, thinking no matter what the carny writes he'll just say he weighs more or less. In the end, the boy ended up paying the man $50. How did the man win the bet?

Show Answer ▼

Answer: The man did exactly as he said he would and wrote “your exact weight” on the paper.

Riddle: You are standing on the top one of two solid metal pillars. They are both exactly one kilometer apart from each other and they both stand one kilometer high. There is absolutely nothing around these pillars, but you have one small twig, one small rock and an unlimited supply of rope. Usuing only the materials named, how can you get from the top of the pillar that you are on to the top of the other pillar?

Show Answer ▼

Answer: The twig and the rock were simply distractions used to divert you from the real answer. Forget I ever mentioned them. All you need to do is fill the space between you with enough rope that it makes a pile so big that you can walk across it to the other pillar (remember I said you had an unlimited supply of rope)
