Three gods A, B, and C are called, in no particular order, True, False, and Random. True always speaks truly, False always speaks falsely, but whether Random speaks truly or falsely is a completely random matter. Your task is to determine the identities of A, B, and C by asking three yes-no questions; each question must be put to exactly one god. The gods understand English, but will answer all questions in their own language, in which the words for yes and no are da and ja, in some order. You do not know which word means which.
-It could be that some god gets asked more than one question (and hence that some god is not asked any question at all).
-What the second question is, and to which god it is put, may depend on the answer to the first question. (And of course similarly for the third question.)
-Whether Random says da or ja should be thought of as depending on the flip of a coin hidden in his brain: if the coin comes down heads, he says da; if tails, he says ja.
-You cannot ask a question for which there is potentially no answer. For example, if you ask True "Are you going to answer this question with the word that means no in your language?", neither da or ja are truthful answers to this question.
Have fun.

There's solutions on that page though, so I didn't link it.

every box can be opened, or else it wouldn't be a box, it would be a cube. simply open the box, since the riddle doesn't say the box is sealed. If you open the box you won't be leaving the box, you will just be opening it. Then just stand up (assuming the opening is above you) and if the box gets smaller, that's okay cause you can just step out of it now.

MrHaynesMYLESA man and a woman were driving in their car when it broke down. The man decided to go for help at a gas station a few miles back. He made sure nobody was in the car, rolled all the windows up, and locked all of the sedan's doors. He went off, but when he came back, his wife was dead, and there was a stranger in the car. No physical damage was done to the car, so how did the stranger get in?
Woman died in childbirth. since he had never met the baby it is technically a stranger.
Winner

mustardoverlordRickhow can someone hold their breath underwater for over an hour?
by being dead
no, you hold your breath right before its spring daylight savings time, you hold your breath for one minute and the time is pushed forward an hour.. therefore you held your breath for an hour and one minute

His wife let the stranger in and the stranger killed her.

justus_1DeaGCHaMPYou're in a room with no openings, a table, and a mirror. How do you get out?

You are a robot. As you act your stored memory grows larger. Box Size = 1/Your actions and stored memory. This creates a Gabriel's Horn but in a box like structure instead.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gabriel's_Horn
The only way to escape is to cross multiply or become with the box. Once completed you must divide the box on either side.
You can take the condoms out of your ears now because I'm done fucking your mind.

fosterSomeone once told me a riddle and I thought you guys might be able to figure it out: Imagine you are in a box, and you can't get out.. How do you get out of the box?
If you've got an answer, I'd love more than anything to hear it.
You cannot. It is requisite in the conditions of the problem.
Paradoxes are not riddles. Contradiction is not a riddle. Your friend is an asshole.
