Redmonds Runs Riddle
During a baseball game in Redmond, John was Redmonds lead-off batter. There were no substitutions or changes in the Redmond batting order at all during the nine-inning game. John came to bat in every inning. What is the least number of runs Redmond could have scored?
Hint:
Zero. In the first inning John and the next two batters walk and the next three strike out. In the second inning, the first three walk again, which brings John back to bat. But each runner is caught off base by the pitcher, so John is back at the plate at the start of the third inning. This pattern is now repeated until the game ends with no joy in Redmund, even though the mighty John never once strikes out. Did you answer this riddle correctly?

Fruit Friends Riddle
If you and a friend have the same amount of apples, how many does she need to give you in order to have 10 more apples than her?
Hint:
She will always need to give you 5 apples. You both need at least 5 apples to begin with, but apart from that it doesnt matter exactly how many you each have. When she gives you 5 you will have 10 more than her because she will lose 5 and you will gain 5, resulting in a net difference of 10.
For example, if you each have 25 apples and she gives you 5 of hers, she will be left with 20 and you will now have 30, precisely 10 more than she has. Did you answer this riddle correctly?
YES NO
