1) How far can you walk into a forest?
2) A train crashes on the border between Spain and Portugal. Where do the bury the surviviors?
3) Leonardo Da Vinci dropped a glass ball from 20 feet high. why didn't it shatter?
4) Dr. Watson was drinking at Christmas when a ball of ice smashed the window. He saw three boys running away- Mark, Sam and Dan. He recieved a piece of paper the next day saying: ?
Who broke the window?
5) Complete the sequence, 1 2 3 5 8...
These are easy but good luck. If you get one or less I'm suprised you can play chess.

Well I know the answers to 1, 2 and 5. I'm guessing that the answer to 3 is
that he dropped it into a soft substance. A pillow perhaps or maybe a pool of water. And I'm guessing that the answer to 4 is Moriarty.

You made me laugh on your answer to 4) but it is one of the boys. Read the note aloud. Your answer to 3) is right- but he could also have dropped it from 4 feet down to 3.9 feet e.g. onto a table. Also, please post the other answers if you have them. Thanks.

I was guessing that '?' was Moriarty's calling card. That was my logic behind that. I will have to give it some more thought. Mark perhaps. 'Question Mark!'
Other answers:
1) You can walk half way into a forest.
2) The survivors would not have been buried.
3) As stated above.
4) Mark.
5) 13. The next answer is the sum of the previous two. 5 + 8 = 13

Well done. And Mark is correct. I'll add some more riddles:
1) Add another name to the sequence;
Angus
Cathy
Elijah
George
Imogen
2) Without going through this process, te;ll me the answer you get.
Pick a number(x).
Divide it by 2
Add 3
Add 2
Minus 5
Multiply by 2.

2. Without going through the process, the result would be no number, because I wouldn't have even got around to picking a number.

The answer is x. Try it and see. But technically you are right. Give me some of your riddles.
Yes, but I've tried to do ones I don't think are on here at the moment. I am really getting sick of the "2 men 2 doors" one. I have read at least five threads in as many pages about it.
