[quote=Searz]Here's a funny riddle for ya: You have a bouquet of flowers. All but two are roses, all but two are daisies and all but two are tulips. How many flowers do you have?[/quote]

[quote=Janitsu]0 flowers[/quote]

[quote=XeresAce]The question is contradictory :/ It says ALL of your flowers are Roses except two, goes on to say ALL of your flowers are Daises except two and then says that ALL of your flowers are Tulips except two. All of your flowers cannot be Roses, Daises and Tulips. EDIT: Or it could possibly be 3(one of each) since Roses = All but 2 = Two flowers are not a rose; one tulip, one daisy Daisies = All but 2 = Two flowers are not a daisy; one rose, one tulip Tulips = All but 2 = Two flowers are not a tulip; one rose, one daisy[/quote]

[quote=Janitsu]nah, 0 fits better[/quote]

[quote=Darcurse]Meh, dunno if this one was asked already: "If you know what I am, I'm nothing. If you dont know, I'm something. What am I?"[/quote]

[quote=Darcurse] "If you know what I am, I'm nothing. If you dont know, I'm something. What am I?"[/quote] Nothing >:D[/quote]

[quote=Darcurse]Wrong. Good thought though. But if it was "Nothing" it would be nothing no matter if you know it or not.[/quote]

[quote=Searz][quote=Darcurse] Wrong. Good thought though. But if it was "Nothing" it would be nothing no matter if you know it or not.[/quote] No, I'm pretty sure 'nothing' is correct. It might not be the answer intended, but I believe it is correct. "If you know what I am, I'm nothing." I know that you are nothing, hence you must be nothing, otherwise the sentence above is false. 'Something' might be correct too. I think this riddle is just poorly constructed.[/quote]

[/quote] A secret New one: A man lives in a flat. In that flat, there are 20 stages, but luckily for the man, there is an elevator. The man lives on the 16th floor, but each time he wants to go home, he only goes to floor number 14 by elevator, the last 2 stages he goes by stairs. Why would he do that? HINT: He is incredibly lazy, it has nothing to do with being sportive or something[/quote]
