No, ¥tterbiJúm. Here's a hint: She CAN'T use the elevator to go all the way up on sunny days because ...

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.

No, it's not set to send me an email when there's a reply. I just happened to be browsing FF and saw your riddle. That was a very broad riddle, by the way, more like a lateral thinking problem with a bunch of solutions. I'm not complaining, I like lateral thinking problems, but there are so many possible answers it overwhelmed me at first trying to think of the correct one. Your hint narrows it down considerably, though...

"Oh, and Dexter, don''t let those nasty Grab-Ons getcha!"
"They are called Hang-Ons mother! The ruthless Hang-On Empire!"

Hint: Think of an item she might have.

Hint: Read a lot of Uncle John's Bathroom Reader books.

Nameneko got it.

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".

Okay, here goes (I'll reword it if necessary):
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.

Well, it looks like Markio got it, highlight this post to see the answer:

The woman was returning an overdue library book.

A clown with three juggling balls was walking to a village, when he came to a bridge that ran across a deep gorge. On the other side was the village. He was stopped by a gaurd before he could cross. The gaurd asked, "How much do you weigh?" The clown replied, "298 pounds, with my suit on." Th gaurd took one of the balls the clown was carrying, and observed, "This weighs about one pound. I'm sorry, but the weight limit on this bridge is exctly 300 pounds, and any heavier and you will fall into the gorge and die. Youcan't cross carrying all these balls." The clown said, "But they're for my act! I can't go without all of them!" How did the clown get across the bridge with all three balls?

Popple got it. Read below for answer

The clown juggled the balls all the way across the bridge, so one ball was in the air all the time, so he weighed exactly 300 pounds.

Riddle me this: A cowboy rode into town on Friday, 3 days later he left on Friday. How?
(Heard this one from the movie "Little Big League")

Nameneko got it, and so should you, unless you're dumb. Dumb as in mentally slow, not as in unable too speak. Next riddle please.

Four jolly men sat down to play;
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?

After a decent amount of time, ¥tterbiJúm got an answer I wasn't quite looking for, but since the time it was taking was getting longer, I just decided to let him give the next riddle. For ･tterbiJ伹's answer and the answer I was actually looking for, select the following:

･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."

"There are no such things as stupid questions, just stupid people."

The reason I took so long to answer was because I wasn't aware that another riddle had been posted, since this topic was so low down in the list. I just decided to bump it today when I saw the riddle. Good for me.

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

A syntax problem with the bridge riddle; when a ball is thrown up, it pushes down with the same force it would have if it were being carried. Therefore, there'd still be 301 pounds of downwards force on teh bridge, and the said clown would plummet to inevtiable doom thanks to his lack of physics knowledge. Just a moot point.
