Yeah, I always *know* :p . I forget to do the :p thingy last time though.

I tried my answer of oxygen...I didn't hear whether that was wrong or right though.

Tsk. I'd expected better from a moderator! :D ;)

Right. A riddle:

Gertrude Mills was horrified to find a fly in her tea. The waiter took her cup and went into the kitchen and returned with a fresh cup of tea. She shouted, "You brought me the same tea!" How did she know?

@dj, I think that answer to Chimaera's riddle was wrong.

Simple...she had added sugar (or something similar) to change the taste. When it came back it still had that flavour.

That's right. Sugar.

A pregnant lady named her children: Dominique, Regis, Michelle, Fawn, Sophie and Lara. What will she name her next child? Jessica, Katie, Abby or Tilly?

Nicely solved :)

Jason was really excited when he saw his name on his friends calendar. Can you figure out where he saw it?

Yes. Well done.

If you toss a die and it comes up with the number one 9 times in a row, what is the probability that it will come up with one on the next throw?

The probability is .... 1 in 6!. It is the old gambler's fallacy. What people fail to realise is that the odds are 1 in 6, not one 1 in 36, 1 in 216, etc.

Yes, but don't tell a gambler :p

At the back, because the train is speeding up, so by the time it enters the tunnel, it will be going faster, so it will take less time to go through.

Me: put simply.... No :D

dj venom's right. Again :p

A sign on the barbers door says "I shave only those who do not shave themselves". Does the barber shave himself?

I vote giles answer for thinking outside the sqaure, it seems to make sense.

I would say he doesn't shave himself.

Yes, though you could have said he went back home or something in that vein :p

No on the latest riddle. Keep going.

Hmmm...arguing time!

Well in that case it is a paradox. What I was assuming is that he doesn't shave everyone who doesn't shave themselves. He could quite easily be shaved elsewhere, and only shave those who don't shave themselves and it would still make sense. However the minute he shaves himself, it becomes a lie.
