That's always possible. Just remember, in the TV show "Lost", we have a polar bear on a tropical island.

Ok, here's an easy one that most people probably know...but im too lazy to come up with anything else


You have a 5 gallon jug and a 3 gallon jug...fill one of the jugs with exactly 4 gallons of water. You can only use the two jugs you have (3 & 5 gallon)

-Darth Simon


p.s. bonus points to whoever can tell me what movie this riddle is used in

It was used in Die Hard 3.

I'll get back to you with the answer later...

3 & 5

Fill the 5 gallon, and pour it into the 3.

You now have 2 gallons left over in the 5.

Empty the 3, and pour the 2 gallons from the 5 into the 3, and then fill the 5 again.

Pour the 5 gallon into the 3 gallon until the 3 gallon is filled.

There were 2 gallons in there, and you have just added 1 more gallon, filling it at 3.

When you emptied that 1 gallon from the 5 gallon, that leaves you with 4.

correct on all accounts

you can actually do this in 'reverse' too

fill the 3 gallon and pour it into the 5 gallon
fill the 3 gallon again and fill the 5 gallon, you now have one gallon left in the 3 gallon
empty the 5 gallon and pour the remaining 1 gallon from the 3 gallon into the 5 gallon
fill the 3 gallon again and pour it into the 5 gallon
there is now 4 gallons in the 5 gallon

though i think this way is a bit more complicated (ie more steps)

next riddle is yours

I suppose it is my turn.

Not sure if it has been posted before, if so please ignore it, and the person who by any chance claims that this "riddle" was already done before will have the next turn.

You're in a dungeon chamber, and there are two doors, one leads to freedom, the other to uh... let's say, death. Each of these doors is kept by a guard. One of the guards speaks only the truth, the other one speaks only lies. You are not sure which one is the liar, and you don't know which door he might keep. The guards know what's behind each door, and they will not keep you from entering any of these doors. Now, you can ask a guard only one question, and you can ask that question to one and only one of the guards.

What is the question?

ask either guard, doesnt matter which one, what the other guard would say is the door that leads to freedom.
if you happen to ask the guard that always lies he will tell you the door that leads to death (because he is lying about it being what the other guard would say) and if you ask the guard that tells the truth he would tell you the door that leads to death (because that is what the lying guard would actually say if you asked him which way was freedom) so either way you take the opposite door that the guard you asked said and it will go to freedom

You ask the first guard what he's wearing and ask the other guard if freedom is behind his door. If the first guard tells you the truth, you'll know the other one will lie. If he lies, you know the other one will tell the truth. Either way, you'll know which door to go out.

Wrong, I said only ONE question to only ONE guard.

OK I think that might solve the problem, and I'll accept that answer (you get the next riddle), but my answer would be:

"Is the guard who tells the truth guarding the door for the exit?"

If he says "yes", go though his door. If he says "no", go to the other door. I'll let you guys do the thinking on this one, as it's quite logical.
