Riddle No. 1 A rubber ball is tossed off the top of a 90 foot building. Every time it bounces, it goes back up half way. How many bounces will the ball take before it stops? Riddle No. 2 A sharpshooter hung up his hat and put on a blindfold. He then walked 100 yards, turned around, and shot a bullet through his hat. The blindfold was a perfectly good one, completely blocking the man's vision.
How did me manage this feat? Riddle No. 3 A sign on the barbers door says "I shave only those who do not shave themselves". Does the barber shave himself? |

#3... No because he would be shaving himself. |

let me rephrase that ...#3..no because if he shaves himself then he is shaving someone that shaves themself |

3. I think this is a first. Usually I read the riddles, then Stun's answers, and thunk myself on the head for not getting it. But I think he does shave himself. I'm reading this differently, but I'm thinking just because they don't shave, doesn't mean he doesn't. |

#2... You didn't say that he left his hat hung up.... So I think he took the hat with him and covered the barrel of the gun with it before shooting... either that or because you didn't say where he hung his hat ... the hat was already hanging from the barrel of the gun... either way it wouldn't take a sharp shooter to do that trick....lol.. |

No. 3 - I know I usually don't give clues... but this is kind of tricky... it's a paradox... |

Okay, I'm not getting the clue....doesn't the answer have to be yes or no? Stun said he doesn't shave himself...I say he does. Unless the barber has no hair, then doesn't it have to be yes or no? Damn, I hate these riddles...lol |

Ok... since it's a paradox... it can't be a yes or a no... the answer is that there is no answer since the statement isn't possible.... |
