Beep, you are a wizard here, Correct. Actually, 97% of Harvard Students couldn't answer it where as 86% of Nursery pupils could.

Riddle No.6:
You heard me before,
Yet you hear me again.
Then I die, 'Til you call me again
What am I?

A phone OR an echo.

Echo, is correct, I am almost out of ideas.

Riddle No.7:
A man was to be sentenced, and the judge told him, "You may make a statement. If it is true, I'll sentence you to four years in prison. If it is false, I'll sentence you to six years in prison." After the man made his statement, the judge decided to let him go free. What did the man say?

There's a poem or other that explains it, and the Harvard students thought there was some ridiculous answer.

Nothing

"I am a liar."

"You will sentance me for 6 years". If that was true, the judge would make it false by sentencing him for 4 years which would then mean the judge was contradicting himself.

Textbook Beep, absolutely textbook.

Well, at least that one had a run without an answer.

Riddle No.7:

You have a barrel of oil, and you need to measure out just one gallon. How do you do this if you only have a three-gallon container and a five-gallon container?

This is a stoopid game.

Fill the 3 gallon container with oil, pour it into the 5 gallon, then fill the 3 gallon again then fill the rest of the 5 up, you then have 1 gallon remaining.

Or alternatively, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, so if that's what you think, okay.

And Beep, Correct

Riddle No.8:

A phone rings 9 times, and no one answers it. A horse eats 9 pounds of grain. A bannana grows 9 inches evry day. and the computer gets 9 mail messages every day.

What is always in the above paragraph?
