Question

1. How many letters are in the alphabet?

2.A woman has 7 children, half of them are boys. How can this be possible?

3.A farmer and his hired help were carrying grain to the barn. The farmer carried one sack of grain and the hired help carried two sacks. Who carried the heavier load and why?

4.A boy was at a carnival and went to a booth where a man said to the boy, "If I write your exact weight on this piece of paper then you have to give me $50, but if I cannot, I will pay you $50."

The boy looked around and saw no scale so he agrees, 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?

5.I cannot be felt, seen or touched; Yet I can be found in everybody; My existence is always in debate; Yet I have my own style of music. What am I?

Good Luck & Have fun with these riddles! :D;)

1. How many letters are in the alphabet?

Seven . I believe this is the correct answer.

If challenged, I will supply proof. But I don't want to give it away yet.

2.A woman has 7 children, half of them are boys. How can this be possible?

They're all boys - the other half are also boys.

3.A farmer and his hired help were carrying grain to the barn. The farmer carried one sack of grain and the hired help carried two sacks. Who carried the heavier load and why?

The farmer. Grain weighs more than sacks do.

4.A boy was at a carnival and went to a booth where a man said to the boy, "If I write your exact weight on this piece of paper then you have to give me $50, but if I cannot, I will pay you $50."

The boy looked around and saw no scale so he agrees, 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?

By writing your exact weight on the piece of paper.

5.I cannot be felt, seen or touched; Yet I can be found in everybody; My existence is always in debate; Yet I have my own style of music. What am I?

Soul.

Not quite ... Alphabet has 8 letters - if you count repeats.

But "The Alphabet" - has only 7 letters: A, B, E, H, L, P and T B))

I already read the answers but for #2 her child could be a siamese twin and the siamese twin is counted as one child

for question # 1 the answer is seven T E H A L B P

wouldn't #3 depend on the weight of the sacks, the sacks the hired help are carryong could weigh a lot more than the farmer's sack of grain
