    Thanks to everyone that played. Although I tried to chose tough riddles, apparently I under estimated the group....I should know better. :kewl:

    I did a google search for riddles and pulled up the first sight I found. Then I just copied some of the riddles. Well, apparently, some of you were quick as well and did the same thing. So congrats to the winners, but next time I promise I will make them harder.

    1. Fill the 3-gallon container with oil and pour it into the 5-gallon container. Then fill the 3-gallon container again and use it to fill the 5-gallon container the rest of the way. One gallon will be left in the 3-gallon container.

    2. Five. There are only four colors, so five socks guarantee that two will be the same color.

    3. Silence.

    4. It's part of his job - he's a justice of the peace.

    5. Seven. The four daughters have only one brother, making five children, plus mom and dad.

    6. Queue.

    7. His/Her autobiography.

    8. You can't use curlers to take photos! You need a camera.

    9. You have just one - the one you took away.

    10. A river.

    11. There are eleven letters in "the alphabet."

    12. A towel.

    13. A stamp.

    14. Fire.

    15. The word "wholesome."

    16. Just one - after that it won't be empty.

    Hey Acodym, got your PM. Just waiting on Ryanbrooks to get me his choice, but unfortunately, you don't get to pick. Since you were the forth winner, you get what is left, but I assure you that it will be a nice coin. Also, go ahead and pm me your address and I will get that in the mail to you when I get a chance. Thanks.
