Ok, here's how it works.  One person posts a riddle and the rest try to answer.  The first person to answer correctly gets to post the next riddle, and so on, and so on.  I'm sure there's been a topic like this before, but I don't really care.  :)


Please, DO NOT POST THE ANSWERS IN THIS THREAD.  I want to give people a chance to figure it out on their own.  Instead, e-mail me the answer and I will decide who sent their e-mail first.  They will then get to post the next riddle and you can e-mail them.  And so on, and so on.


Anyway, here's the first riddle:


Two fathers and two sons went fishing together.  They each caught exactly 1 fish.  No fish were thrown back and no fish were eaten.  Yet there were only 3 fish caught that day by the fathers and sons.  How can this be?


For those of you too lazy to look at my profile to e-mail me, here's my address: samus15@comcast.net



"Oh, and Dexter, don''t let those nasty Grab-Ons getcha!"

"They are called Hang-Ons mother!  The ruthless Hang-On Empire!"

Wow, that was fast.  So far I've gotten e-mails from Luigison and a "Kenny McGonigle".  Luigison's was first, though.

I know I was first, and I think my answer was correct, but I will wait for confirmation before I post the next riddle.

<sarcasm> I think the "I"s have it.

Sorry, I forgot to close the sarcasm tag.

Luigison got it correct first, I sort of implied that in my last post, but now I'll say it explicitly.  Time for another riddle, Luigison.

I don't like this system. I want to see the answers to the riddles.

A woman lives on the 30th floor of an apartment. On sunny days she takes the elevator up 10 floors and walks up the rest of the floors. On rainy days she takes the elevator all the way up to the 30th floor. Why does she go all the way up to the 30th floor on rainy days using the elevator?

I hearby give permission for riddle posters AND ONLY RIDDLE POSTERS to post answers to their riddles AFTER the riddle has been answered and we have moved on.  For those of us who are really stumped.  :)

By the way, here's the answer to my riddle:
There were only three people, a grandfather (one father), a father (one father and one son), and a son (one son).
