1) Because a badger steals one of the fishes!
2) Less than you were making. Some bugger tries to cut my salary by third and I leave!

Ancient Inferno

A building that was constructed in 30BC was destroyed by a fire three quarters of a century later. In which year was it destroyed?

Speed Racing

Johnny Gallop has had countless tumbles while riding his horse, often causing him great pain, not to mention embarrassment. However, Johnny never for one minute doubts his racing ability, and everyone else considers him to be a consumate professional.

How can this be?

You're barred
Jerry is lying dead. He has an iron bar across his back and some food lying in front of him. How did he die?

The man that can't be moved
What can move and be still at the same time?

[Bonanzoid]

I hope I have at least 2 right this time, Fewtsy.

[foot-loose]

Sorry - just the one.

Think everyone except Andy B got mine right so just for him

Two fathers and two sons go fishing, and each catches one fish to take home. Why do they bring only three fish home?

They are a boy, his father, and his father's father, so there are two fathers and two sons, but only three people total

If you increase what you make in a year by 50%, and then the next year it falls by a third, are you making:
A) The same amount as you were making originally.
B) More than you were making originally.
C) Less than you were making originally.

A. Anytime you increase something by half, and then decrease it by a third, you end up where you started. Plug some numbers into this and it is easy to see. (40 increased by half is 60. Then take away a third of 60 and you are back to 40.)

Noone else so far.

[Bonanzoid]

Holy moly! This is bugging me now...

[Andy B]

I hate riddles. They rarely make sense or are just stupid. Puzzles I don't mind as long as they are logical but riddles are just annoying.

I can't be buggered with em. It's a waste of my intellect when I could be doing something else far more productive.

[foot-loose]

Boboff has all the right answers.

These were easier, but noone was getting the February one. And a couple of people need to brush up on their American geography (except Sunny, who needs to brush up on the other two).
