So here's a riddle. How can 11+2 not = 13, but add one more, and it gives you 2 so 11+2 does not = 13, but 11+2+1 = 2 Discuss. |

i have no idea how to solve this riddle i don't understand how the numbers can equal a sum of 2 when the numbers clearly equal above 2 11 + 2 +1 =? even if you subtract and add each of the digits i dont get how you can get 2, but this might be past basic highschool geometry |

11(am/pm)+2 (hours) = 1(am/pm)+1 (hour) = 2(am/pm) There's your answer. Here's another one that people always seem to fuck up when they tell it... Think of words ending in -GRY. Angry and hungry are two of them. There are only three words in the English language. What is the third word? The word is something that everyone uses every day. If you have listened carefully, I have already told you what it is. |

The answer is Language. The entire first part is there to throw you off. Take it away and it's an easy and rather stupid riddle. lol "There are only three words in the English language. What is the third word?" |

A family is out on a picnic. There is a man, a woman, two children, one a boy and the other a girl. As they drive home they are in a terrible car accident. The woman and the daughter die. The boy and the father sustain major injuries and are taken to seperate hospitals. The boy must undego surgery in order to save his life. As the doctor enters the Operating room the doctor glances over the boy and quickly exits the room. The nurses ask, "Why not?" The doctor replies, "I cannot because that is my son in there.." How is this so? |
