Dangerous Chemicals Riddle
There is a chemical that is very dangerous. If this chemical is inhaled, it may be fatal. Under certain conditions, contact with the skin can cause a burn. However, once a person's body becomes dependent on this chemical, prolonged separation from this chemical can cause death. However, even though many people know of this chemical, and it is found in nearly every drinking source, nothing is being done to try to get rid of it. Why is nothing being done about this chemical?
Hint: This is a real chemical. Think about everything that is being said.
No one does anything about it because the chemical is water. Did you answer this riddle correctly?

Lakes And Boats Riddle
There is a lake with shores A and B. Two motorboats M and N are standing on the opposite sides (A and B respectively). M leaves A and N leaves B and start moving with constant speeds. They meet for the first time 500 yards away from A. After touching the shores, they return back to the previous shore point without taking any break. This time they meet at 300 yards away from B.
Can you determine how wide the lake is? What is the relation between the speeds of boats?
Can you determine how wide the lake is? What is the relation between the speeds of boats?
Hint:
When the boats meet for the first time, they have sailed a combined distance that is equal to one length of the lake. When they meet the second time, they have sailed 3 lengths. The elapsed time and the distance for each is three times.
When they meet for the second time, the boat M has sailed 500 x 3 = 1500 yards. Now, this is 300 yards longer than the length of the lake, it must be 1200 yards wide.
The ration between the speed of boat M and boat N is equal to the ratio of the distance that they have sailed before they meet the first time. Did you answer this riddle correctly?
YES NO

Two Chemistry Students Walk Into A Bar
Two chemistry students walk into a bar.
The first says, "I'll order an H2O."
The second then says, "I'll order an H2O too."
Why did the second student die?
The first says, "I'll order an H2O."
The second then says, "I'll order an H2O too."
Why did the second student die?
Hint:
"H2O too" sounds like "H2O2", which is hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide is a poison and can be deadly if its concentration in water is sufficiently high. Did you answer this riddle correctly?

Two Doors Riddle
You are imprisoned in a chamber with two doors as the only exit. One door leads to death by cancer, filled with complications and malpractice; the other door leads to riches of jewelry, money and fine clothing for the rest of your life. There are two guards standing before you: one guard always lies; the other always tells the truth. Of course, you dont know their identities. You can ask only one question to save your life. What should you ask?
Hint:
This is a logic question and can be answered if one realizes that the TRUTH of a LIE is a LIE, and the LIE of a TRUTH is a LIE. You need one guard to give you the other guards answer. Knowing this one could ask a question like, If I were to ask the other guard which door leads to freedom, what would he say?
If you ask the guard who always tells the truth, he would tell you the other guard would point you to the door of death. If you ask the guard who always lies, he would tell you the opposite door of the truth-telling guard and point you to the door of death. In either case, both guards will point to the door of death so you should choose the other one. Did you answer this riddle correctly?
