a few Riddles

The people who make it don’t want it. The people who buy it don’t use it. The people who use it don’t know it. What is it?











The Answer:

A coffin: The people who make it aren’t going to want a coffin and the people who buy it don’t use it on their self. The people who use it don’t know it because they’re dead



Lions
There are many doors and you are standing in the center.

Each door has lions in it who are hungry for more than 100 years. How will you go in the doors?

If the lions are hungry for more than 100 years they must have died now.



What Is It?
Girls have it but boys don’t
Billy has it but kelly doesn’t






The Answer:

The letter "I"



A man lives in his house. He also works out of his house and his job is very important. Everyday the man must sleep with the lights on to avert from tragedy. One night the man gets so sick of the light he turns it out for the night. The next morning he reads the newspaper, takes out a gun, and shoots himself.

Where did the man live ?












The Answer:

A Light House






Sand Castle
If it takes 20 buckets of sand to make a sandcastle, how many buckets will it need to make another castle of the same shape,
but twice as big in each direction ?










The Answer:

160 buckets. Since the large castle will be twice as long, twice as wideand twice as high, it will be 2 * 2 * 2 = 8 times the mass of the small one.





Woman’s Shootings
A woman shoots her husband. Then she holds him under water for over 5 minutes. Finally, she hangs him.
But 5 minutes later they both go out together and enjoy a wonderful dinner together.

How can this be?












The Answer:

The woman was a photographer.

She shot a picture of her husband, developed it, and hung it up to dry.




Car Race
If you were running a race, and you passed the person in 2nd place, what place would you be in now?








The Answer:

You would be in 2nd (not 1st!).

you passed the guy in second place, not first.





What am I?
I am enjoyed by some, despised by others, and some abuse me. I am a sacrament, a gift. I am never-ending, yet at times some break me. What am I?






The Answer:

Marriage
