Riddle: There are 100 passengers boarding a 100 passenger airplane. When passenger 1 gets onto the plane, he is dissoriented, so he randomly picks a seat. Each of the remaining passengers (2, 3, 4, etc.) get onto the plane and take their seat if it is available or picks one of the remaining seats at random if it is not.
What is the chance that the last passenger (passenger 100) will get his seat?

Riddle: Drop me and the world will shatter,
and you can always find me where you empty your bladder.
What am I?

For the plane riddle, I figure the answer is a 50/50 chance; since the last person's seat will either be taken or not.
For the other one, maybe a mirror? Doesn't really apply if you "empty your bladder" outside, but I though I would try it.
Here's a couple riddles of my own:
3) I live deep underground and in the void of outer-space. I was here before the beginning and I'll be here long after the end, yet if you say my name I cease to exist. What am I?
4) I only have one eye, but if you think I should have another you're failing to see the point. What am I?

Well done!... here's another:
5) I'm not going anywhere yet I move throughout the day,
working hard for all my life without receiving pay.
It may sound cruel, but it's a breeze, and I don't really mind.
As long as things keep spinning I'll just grind and grind and grind.
What am I?

Correct again.
6) As far as I'm concerned, I'm always on time.
My movement's uncanny, you could say it's sublime.
Most would agree that I'm rather fast.
To overtake me is to look on the past.
What am I?

I was thinking "photon", but that is equally valid.

7) Obeying commands is my lifelong plight,
to darken small things that were once light.
But if you dare trust me you soon will learn,
that in the end I make things burn.

 8) This is really more of a puzzle than a riddle, but sue me. Imagine the brown shape above is a piece of paper. Cutting along the dotted lines, it is possible to separate the shape into 2 pieces that can be combined to form a rectangle. The trick is that the rectangle must be complete (no holes or gaps), and you CANNOT flip over either of the pieces. Where should you cut (along the dotted lines) to satisfy those requirements? You might want to open the image in paint, use a red line to mark your answer, then upload your answer as an image. |
