    Question

    Read this sentence:

    FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE-
    SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIF-
    IC STUDY COMBINED WITH
    THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS.

    Now count aloud the F's in that sentence. Important, count them ONLY ONCE: do not go back and count them again

    Answer
    One of average intelligence finds three of them. If you spotted four, you're above average. If you got five, you can turn your nose at most anybody. If you caught six, you are a genius. There is no catch. Many people forget the "OF"'s. The human brain tends to see them as V's and not F's.

    If u got the last one, work this one out.


    Two fathers and two sons went fishing one day. They were there the whole day and only caught 3 fish. One father said, that is enough for all of us , we will have one each.

    How can this be possible?

    Call the switches 1, 2 and 3. You turn on 1 and 2 for, say, a minute, then turn 2 off. Go upstairs. If the light is on, it is switch 1 that controls it. If not, feel the bulb, if it is warm then switch 2 controls it. Otherwise it is switch 3.

    _____________

    A young child goes up to a wise man and shocks him by asking him,
    "What one thing do I have that God does not have?" What does he have that God hasn't?


    __________________

    and another

    Many years ago, a wealthy old man was near death. He wished to leave his fortune to one of his three children. The old man wanted to know that his fortune would be in wise hands. He
    stipulated that his estate would be left to the child who would sing him half as many songs as days that he had left to live.

    The eldest son said he couldn't comply because he didn't know how many days his father had left to live, and besides he was too busy. The youngest son said the same thing. The man ended up leaving his money to his third child, a daughter. What did his daughter do?



    _____________
    this one is good


    what is the next line?

    I
    I I
    II I
    I II I I
    I I I II II I
    III I II II I I
    I III I I II II II I

    faith
    She sings a song every other day until he dies.
    This just wasted 1/2 an hour of my time but I think it is:
    I I I III II I III II I I (converting from roman numerals to 'normal' numbers was the key step :)

    Also, let's see who has read The Hobbit :)


    A box without hinges, key or lid,
    Yet golden treasure inside is hid.

    Very interesting,
    the version I know the answer is parents

    Too many riddles have multiple answers. And yeah, the number sequence is a bitch of a tricky question and a great exercise in thinking outside the box.
