Bat And Ball Riddle
If a baseball and a bat cost $1.10 together, and the bat costs $1.00 more than the ball, how much does the ball cost?
Hint: The answer isn't 10 cents.
Here's the solution:
Although $1.00 + $0.10 does equal $1.10, if you take $1.00 $0.10 you get $0.90, but the problem requires that the bat costs $1 more than the ball.
So, the ball must cost $0.05, and the bat must cost $1.05 since $1.05 + $0.05 = $1.10
---
Still not convinced? You can use algebra to solve the problem:
First, lets set up the equation:
x + ($1.00 + x) = $1.10
$1.00 + 2x = $1.10
2x = $1.10 $1.00
2x = $0.101
Finally, solve for x:
x = $0.05
Check your work:
x + ($1.00 + x) = $1.10, so
$0.05 + ($1.00 + $0.05) = $1.10 Did you answer this riddle correctly?

The Ball Pyramid Riddle
Hint:
30
Explanation:
It's very difficult to count an actual number of balls but it can be counted mathematically as illustrated below.
Balls in lowest level most level, say level 1 : 4 * 4 = 16
Level2 => 3 * 3 = 9
Level3 => 2 * 2 = 4
Leve4 => 1
Summing up 16+9+4+1 = 30. Did you answer this riddle correctly?
YES NO

Hot Air Balloon Over The Sahara
One sunny afternoon, three men go for a ride on a hot air balloon over the Sahara desert. An hour into the trip, the balloon begins to lose altitude. A month later, someone found one of the ballooners laying on the desert sand dead, naked, and holding half a toothpick. What happened to him?
Hint:
As the balloon lost altitude, the men took of their clothes and threw them overboard to decrease the weight of the balloon. The balloon continued to drop so the men drew straws to see who would be forced to jump. The dead man in the desert drew the shortest one (the half toothpick). Did you answer this riddle correctly?
