Riddle: A man is in a dark room where he is warm and safe from the outside, but he really wants to go outside even though he knows he might die if he goes outside. In the end he breaks down the wall and falls outside and almost dies. What was so bad inside the room?
Answer: The dark room was a shark and the man had been eaten by the shark. The shark was filled with acid and so that was the bad thing inside the shark. It was better to go outside and maybe drown than stay in the shark and be disolved into food.

Riddle: An old man lives in an old house in the woods and one day he thinks the time is going backward. He looks at the clock and it says half-past five and then he looks at it again and it says ten past five (and it keeps happening so next time he looks at it says half-past four). He gets scared and runs out of the house and meets up with an old woman and says "What day is it? Is it 11/02?" "It is 10/31," says the old woman. And so he runs around being scared until he looks up and the sun is falling backward out of the sky so he is sure that time is going the wrong way. How can this be?
Answer: The old man has a clock that is accidentally for left-handed people so it goes backwards, and he is so old that the old woman thinks he is a ghost so she thinks it is Halloween, and the old man has run around so much that he has forgotten which way is which so when the sun is going down he thinks it is going up backwards. Time is NOT wrong after all!!
Riddle: You are camping in the woods with your friends and one of them is telling the story about the horse ghost who lives in the woods who breaks people's necks when they go to sleep... but suddenly you stab your friend all the way through their heart to kill them. Why?
Answer: YOU are the horse ghost (but only secretly) and you do not want your friend to tell the story to your other friends in case they find out that you are the horse ghost. (You are too clever to break your friend's neck this time because that would be incrementing!)
