Correct, because there's no way you could drop an egg on to a hard roof like that and expect it not to break.

Mr. Bear and Mr. Rabbit

Mr. Bear and Mr. Rabbit lived in the same forest, but they didn't like each other very much. One day, while walking through the woods, and they came across a golden frog. They were amazed when the frog talked to them. The golden frog admitted that he didn't often meet anyone, but, when he did, he always gave them six wishes, so he told them that they could have three wishes each.
Mr. Bear immediately wished that all the other bears in the forest were females. The frog granted his wish. Mr. Rabbit, after thinking for a while, wished for a crash helmet. One appeared immediately, and he placed it on his head.
Mr. Bear was amazed at Mr. Rabbit's wish, but carried on with his second wish. He wished that all the bears in the neighboring forests were females as well, and the frog granted his wish. Mr. Rabbit then wished for a motorcycle. It appeared before him, and he climbed on board and started revving the engine.
Mr. Bear could not believe it and complained that Mr. Rabbit had wasted two wishes that he could have had for himself. Shaking his head, Mr. Bear made his final wish, that all the other bears in the world were females as well, leaving him as the only male bear in the world. The frog replied that it had been done, and they both turned to Mr. Rabbit for his last wish.
Mr. Rabbit revved the engine, thought for a second, then said, “I wish that Mr. Bear was gay!” and rode off as fast as he could.

2. Just one - when they're born.
3. All of them.
4. Underground.

Sorry, this is wrong.
It should be 130.

60/(1/2)=60*2=120

120+10 = 130

120+10 = 130

The original question was divide 30 by a half and add 10....I think they put 60 by accident. Jumping the gun, so to speak.

70 is the correct answer - the solution should read 30/(1/2)+10=70

Yeah, I jumped the gun when I posted "60". I meant "30". I'm weird sometimes, I guess.

Lessee...

Ah I think I got one:

Take a random number. Doesn't matter which one! The answer is always the same!

Now, solve this question:

(insert your number here) * (same number) + (same number) / (same number) - (same number) = ???

Spoiler:

The answer is always 1, no matter which number you take!

Example:

3*3 = 9. 9+3 = 12. 12/3 = 4. 4-3 = 1
5*5 = 25. 25+5 = 30. 30/5 = 6. 6-5 = 1
8*8 = 64. 64+8 = 72. 72:8 = 9. 9-8 = 1

Strange huh?

On their 50th wedding anniversary and during the banquet celebrating it, Tom was asked to give his friends a brief account of the benefits of a marriage of such long duration.

"Tell us Tom, just what is it you have learned from all those wonderful years with your wife?" an anonymous voice yelled from the back of the room.

Tom responded, "Well, I've learned that marriage is the best teacher of all. It teaches you loyalty, meekness, forbearance, self-restraint, forgiveness and a great many other qualities you wouldn't need if you stayed single."

"Relax," the driver replies, "even if it did, I've got a spare box under the seat..."

Yet the velocity of the disc is the same regardless of what two points you pick on the disc. How is this so?

The velocity is the same, not the distance, and the turntable remains rotating at 33RPM.

I don't believe that is a sufficient answer. (no offense)

The proper answer would be that the Angular Velocity of the points remains the same.
However, the Tangential Velocity of each point varies, as it is a function of the radius and the Angular Velocity, and the radius varies.
The reason why there appears to be a discrepancy in distance travelled between the 2 points is because angular measurements are in terms of angular measurements, wheras distance is measured in terms of physical lengths.

In other words, it is a confusion of terminology.

This riddle is based on actual history. As a matter of fact, it is more of a history test than a riddle.

The time is early 1600s, in Febuary, in London, England.

A mother and her child are travelling by foot through the rain looking for shelter. They take refuge in a local hotel where they are greeted by a dignified gentleman who is the receptionist. He states that the only vacancy is one small room, with a small bed. He also mentions that their is a hotel about two kilometers down the road that may have vacancies. The mother decides to board the child in the small room, and she will make the extra trek through the rain to the other hotel for rest.

The next day, the rain has let up, and the mother walks back to the hotel where she left her child. She comes back to the same hotel, sees the same dignified receptionist, and asks to see her son. The man looks at the mother with a puzzled look and says "You want to see who?" The mother explains that the previous night, she brought in her child, their was only vacancy for one, and she left her child there. She even went to the room where she left her son, but found the room to be completely empty of everything. No more bed, sheets, carpet, nightstand, bible, etc.. The man told her that the room was never made to be a hotel room, and was being used as extra storage space.

To say the least, the mother was crushed, but the big mystery is, what happened to the child?

hint:

Spoiler:

The mother is not crazy, London has nothing to do with Silent Hill, and the child died of hypothermia.

answer:

Spoiler:

During the early 1600s, the Bubonic plague was almost forgotten, but everybody wanted to keep it that way. The truth is, the child died of hypothermia from the freezing rain. The hotel owner, fearing that the child's death would be blamed on the Bubonic plague, disposed of the dead child and everything inside the room and denied all history of the specific hotel room to retain his hotel's reputation. Everything in the room was burned in the hotel's furnace, including the page of the log book where the child was recorded checking in.
