Tomorrow is a big event at my university. I’d like to make a fun thing where the people of the Board Game society I am in can try to find me for a riddle, kind of a Where is Waldo in a place where there is a crap tone of people to find the NPC that’ll give them a Riddle (Maybe something to win? No idea how I could do that detail)
'Tis a silly one, but it’s hilarious when it stumps people. Best used verbally:
There are thirty cows in a field, and twenty-eight chickens. How many didn’t?
Answer
Ten. Ten didn’t eat chickens!
Read it 5 times not understanding. Said it out loud, and instantly it came to my mind!
My 8 year old daughter got me with this one just yesterday. She was so proud of herself.
You’re in a square room with a window in each wall. All the windows face south. Thru one of the windows you can see a bear. What colour is the bear?
White!
Wow makes so much sense!
How tf all windows face south if it’s a square room ?
TF North Pole bro
Red?
Here’s a slightly more subtle version:
An explorer leaves his camp and walks 1km south until his path is blocked by a huge bear. He makes a 90° turn to his left and sprints 1km east. After checking the bear is nowhere in sight, he turns another 90° to his left and walks 1km north, arriving back at his camp. What colour was the bear?
What is the beginning of eternity, the end of time, the beginning of every end, and the end of every place?
E, it’s a really mean one when delivered verbally
Reminds me of a line from the sphinx riddle in harry potter.
Tell me what is the last thing to mend, the middle of middle and the end of end.
Now that’s a spicy one!
Time Flies like an Arrow
Fruit Flies like Banana
But there is not like an Answer to find in that
That’s called a “garden path sentence”. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garden-path_sentence Has more examples.
What usually has 4 letters, sometimes 9 letters, but never 5 letters.
!It’s not a question, it’s a statement: “what”=4, “sometimes”=9, “never”=5!<
What can run but never walks,
Has a mouth but never talks,
Has a bed but never sleeps,
Has a head but never weeps?

I think my answer was good enough even if not the intended one. I’m not guessing further.

An ancient device for looking through walls?
Window.
-I cannot allow you before Théoden-King so armed, Gandalf Greyhame. By order of Gríma Wormtongue. Your staff.
-Hmm? Oh. You would not part an old man from his walking stick?
-It is not by my choosing. Your staff I judge to be five feet, yet no object greater than four feet in length may be brought before the King.
-Then I must speak with the town carpenter.
Later that day, Gandalf brings his staff to the meeting with Théoden. He has not broken any rules, and the staff is unaltered. How did he manage it?
The Carpenter made the door bigger?

Seeing the Proposition from RagnarokOnline@reddthat.com I’ve got a similar one I know in French that can be translated:
I am a king, taking presents from strangers to get into my kingdom. Propose me Gifts and I will tell you if you can enter my Kingdom
Medicine for the plague
I have no care for your medicine
A large, shiny, red, round, wooden apple with a delicate golden stem, nestled in a square silk box with twelve tiny silver bells.
Fool! I would not care for a Diamond from you! Nor less a Wooden Apple no matter the way you present it to me!
How about I show you an ancient pond in the silent forest that forever holds the reflection of your constellation. Beside it there’s a tomb from your ancestors with engravings telling ancient stories of valor and virtue. Here I offer you a place of introspection and the gift of time. It will refresh your spirit and new opportunities will become clear.
My dear Elise! I do have to say those are some of the most detailed and exquisite presents I have received to this day and I would like to applaud you for that, yet none of those presents interest me. Nore This Ancient Pond, Nor the Tomb near it, nor a Place of Introspection.
I wish you find something that will suit the difficult tastes I have dear Elise

I offer friendship
