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?

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).

Also, you replied very fast. I know I did too, but do you have the forum set to email you when it gets a reply? I turned that feature on in one of Cash Crazed popular thread and it drove him crazy. I don't remember how to turn it on/off now though.

SPOILER ALERT, select the text below to see Nameneko's answer:
The woman is really short. On sunny days, she can't reach the 30th floor button. On rainy days, she uses her umbrella to press the button.
So, Nameneko post the next "riddle".

A woman hands a man at a counter a book, pays for it, then leaves without the book. The man at the counter, however, doesn't try and stop the woman.

And played all night till break of day;
They played for money and not for fun,
With separate scores for every one.
Yet when they came to square accounts,
They all had made quite fair amounts!
Can you the paradox explain?
If no one lost, how could all gain?

･tterbiJ伹's Answer: "They're playing Blackjack and started out with
small amounts, but gained a bunch of money."
Here's the intended answer to the riddle: "The men were musicians who were playing different
instruments, so they had different scores. After they played (music) they
were paid, thus resulting in all of them getting a decent amount of money."

Anyway, here's the next riddle:
Can you spot the pattern?
1 = 3
2 = 3
3 = Magical
4 = 4
5 = 4
6 = 3
7 = Magical
8 = Magical
9 = 4
10 = 3

Here's the answer to mine, SPOILER ALERT:
Each number is equal to the number of letters it has in its name, with 5 letters being "Magical". Thus, 1 = 3 because "one" has 3 letters.

There are many words in the English language that end in the suffix "-ful": tasteful, hopeful, joyful, etc. However, there is one and only one word in the English language ending in "-full," with two L's instead of one. What is it?

Hugh had never seen the movie "Top Gun" before he got on the transatlantic flight to take him from London to Los Angeles. However, he had heard that it was good and was pleased to see that it was due to be shown during the flight. After lunch, "Top Gun" was screened, but Hugh did not bother to watch it even though he had a clear view of the screen and the sound and picture quality were fine. Why not?

The answer is:
The movie was shown both before and after lunch. Hugh watched it before and didn't bother watching it again after.

Anyways, here is my official riddle. Shouldn't be TOO difficult. It is actually blatantly obvious.
Before the 26th Amendment, the minimum age required to vote for president was 21 years old. Why is it that, despite the 26th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution which lowers the voting age to 18, that there are still many American citizens who cannot legally vote for president until they are 21?
EDIT: Riddle slightly revised because of an ambiguity that LD pointed out. (As an answer)
