Riddle Me This

Okay, let's try a chain riddle.

I will give a brain teaser.... the person with the correct answer gets to post the next one... and so on and so on...

No, you cannot find the answer on the internet... so there...

Ready?

A king decided to give his kingdom to whomever of his sons had the slowest horse.

They both lined up at the starting gate astride their slowest horse. However, both sons immediately started predicting the other would cheat by slowing down his horse during the race.

The king had thought of this... and, just before the race, said two words that ensured the race would be fair and just.

What were they?

I love riddles. I have several books of riddles & brain teasers.

answer: Change Horses (or Trade Horses)

riddle (pretty easy) Brought to the table, cut and served - never eaten.

No to both.

A deck of cards?

Yes!!! Now you can give a riddle or if you don't want to, maybe someone else will come along & do so.

Correct! Grover Cleveland (1885–1889 and 1893–1897)

Your turn.

I have another.

You are a spy and have gotten caught.

The evil mastermind has locked you in a room with two doors. One leads to freedom... the other, not so much.

With you in the room are two computers. One always tells the truth. The other always lies. You do not know which is which. Both, however, know which door is safe.

You are allowed to ask one computer one question.

What is the question that will get you out of the room?

Ask one of the computers which door the other one would say leads to freedom, then choose the opposite door because the one they mention will lead to "not so nice"?

Just a quess! Don't ask me to explain. I had it all worked out, then I sneezed and POOF...logical thinking gone in a flash.

I don't even know if it's right but the logic is (was) there when I first diagrammed it on paper.

The one who made it didn't want it
The one who bought it didn't need it
The one who used it never saw it.

What am I?

A casket (coffin)

I remember this from one of my brain teaser books: 99 + 9/9 -- 99 + 1 = 100

No, you dumbass!!!! Not that I expect anything different from a man who advocates exaction for those who spit on a sidewalk! :p

Only kidding, Jeff! Don't go crying to your boyfriend Zendex!!! Or is it Mikey?

But no, betty-Sue got it right. I'm just as surprised as you!!!

Damn, I've insulted everybody!! I still got it!!

for the math buffs:

you have a set of books, volume 1 through 18. Each book has 100 pages. They are placed on a shelf in typical fashion in proper order. Each cover (front or back) is 1/8 inch thick. Each books pages are 1 inch thick total.

A bookworm starts eating at page 1 of volume 1 and eats until he reaches page 100 of volume 18.

How far did he travel?
