Just a few riddles. 1.how many times can u subtract the number 5 from 25? 2. how can u physically stand behind your friend as he physically stands behind u?3. a large bus is crossing a bridge 1 mile long. the bridge can only hold 14000 lbs, which is the exact weight of the bus. the bus makes it half way across the bridge and stops. a bird lands on the bus. does the bridge collapse?4. andrew is taller than bianca who is taller than cathy. cathy is shorter than doore who is shorter than bianca. who is the shortest?
5. you are on a ship, over the side hangs a rope ladder with half meter rungs. the tide rises a half meter per hour. at the end of five hours, how much of the ladder will remain above the water assuming that nine rungs were above the water when the tide began 2 rise?
I will post the answers soon. Good luck.

Answerrrss. <3 1. You can only subtract 5 once, cause after that you will be subtracting 5 from 20 not 25.
2. Back to back
3. No, because by the time it gets half way across, half the gasn has gone
4. Cathy
5. Nine, as the tide rises so does the ship, therefore so does the ladder.

It's kinda right.
By the time the bird land on the bus or truck or whatever it is, enough fuel has been burned that the bird could land with making it collapse.
Make sense?

MY TURN! (Some of these were hard for me XP ) 1) What gets wet as it dries? 2) Forward I am heavy, backwards I am not. What am I? 3) What is special about the number 854917632? 4) Twenty seven ducks are going to the pond. Five of them got lost, thirteen of them are staying home, and nine of them are at the pond. Where are the rest of them? 5) There is a pink single story house and everything in it is pink. The doors are pink, the windows are pink and the TV is pink. What color are the stairs? 6) My posterior is adorned with feathers. I have a rather long neck and quite a pointy nose. I am able to fly, yet I have no wings. What am I? I'll post the answers in a week! (Next Friday... my time.)
