Screw guessing, i thought it through. First think of all the obvious ones like fish etc. Then the water one which actully makes sense but they arent at sea, so i thought about the conditions they would have lived in then thought rats but then realised it was likely head lice.

Thats what im being taught to do in problem solving atm.. althought that is maths based. with algorithms and stuff.

An easy one.

A director of a large company asks the security guard working the night shift to call him a cab, because he needs to take a red-eye flight to New York. The guard tells him not to board the plane, because he just had a dream that the director would have an accident. To be safe, the director decides to wait until the next morning. During the trip, he reads in the paper that the red-eye flight crashed. When he returns from his trip, he thanks the guard and gives him a bonus. Then he fires him. Why did he fire him?

hehe riddles...I love em. Seeing as the above have all been answered correctly, I will post a few of my own.
Bonuses go to the riddle solvers.

1. A man's head travelled more than 30ft. more than his feet but he was unharmed. How come?

2. A group of people at a New Year's Day concert in 1900 couldn't get out of the concert hall doors. The doors were not locked and opened easily. After all, the crowd had entered by them. What was the difficulty? SOLVED


3. What can you hold in your right hand but not in your left? SOLVED


4. Fred assembled a device containing thousands of moving parts, yet it only took hima few minutes. What is it?

5. Legend has it that the Greek poet Homer died of frustration at not being able to solve this riddle, posed by   
    fishermen of the island of Ios. See if you can do better. SOLVED

    What we caught, we threw away,
    What we couldn't catch, we kept.

P.S the obvious answer is never the right one. I will also post more riddles regularly.
As it stands, riddles #2, 3 and 5 have been solved. Solve the other two and I will put up some more.

A easy one:

A man is hanging in a middle of an empty room, where no else has ever been . There is a puddle of water in the room. There is one door in the room, which is no where near the hanged man.

How did the man kill himself ?

Doesn't it have something to do with him standing on ice, then it melts, and he gets hung?

And for the #1 riddle, Is the man a crash-test-dummy?

No. The man is indeed a human being. It also states that he was unharmed. Keep going man!

Anything that involves spinning around a point - eg, breakdancing, trapeze, or even doing something like squats (so your head bobs up and down).

Riddle on logic & reasoning -

You have two glasses of water on a table in front of you - one will bring you everlasting life, the other is a lethal poison.

There are two barmen behind the table - of which you are allowed to ask either of them 1 question to help you chose the right glass. However, while one of them will always tell the truth; the other is an automatic liar (you don't get to tell which is which).

What question can you ask to work out which is the correct glass to drink from?
