1) Some months have 30 days some months have 31 days. Howmany months have 28 days?

2)A black man dressed in allblack, wearing a mask, stands at a crossroads in a totally black painted town. All of the street lights in town are brocken. The moonlight is not visible. A black painted car without headlights drives straight toward him, but turns in time and does not hit him. The man in the car does not know or has ever met the man in black. How did the driver know to swerve?

3)A man was born in 1964 and died in 1983 at the age of 25. How is this possible?

4) How many birthdays does the average man have?

5)The owner of a butcher shop is five foot ten. What does he weigh?

3.Bron in room 1964.

4.only 1 ?

5.meat!

6.roman numerals: XIX Take away the 1 (I) and you are left with XX, or 10+10, equaling 20.

Hmmm, not liking number 6 so much

there aren't any 1's in Roman Numerals - they're i's

but enjoyed the rest!

|-19-1|=20

[Guest]

You simply have to make a bet that you are certain to win with the 19th person you come across. The amount of the bet is a $20 bill.

Therefore, you have taken 1 from 19 and got 20 without having to give it back.

[Aaryan]

@Southpaw_Pete: Yes, exactly. I=1. So take away 1 (the I) from XIX, and you are left with XX, or twenty

And sorry, should have used a spoiler for my answers. My bad!

1/ ALL OF THEM

2. It is daytime

3. The hospital room numbers

4. 1

5. meat

6. ?

[Guest]

The object is to get to the number 20 without having to put the 1 back in.

Therefore:

19 - 1 = 18

18 + 2 = 20

2 ¬= 1

I also agree with sana88's solutions

[Guest]

sana88 got them all right also does anyone know how i report that this is solved?

[Guest]

You ask 19 people for one dollar each, plus one you already have = 20

Hence, you took one from nineteen and got 20

[Guest]

I already saw this riddle a long time ago. You should check first.

Spoiler for # 1:

All of the months.
