Please if you plan to throw anything on me after reading the answers please through it as pairs and flats okie? you see my back pain doesn’t allow me to use heels.
1. A girl went to NY on horse on a Friday. It took her three days to come back and she came back on Friday. How is that possible?
Her horse’s name is Friday. She came back on Friday (her horse) not actually on a Friday (day of the week). I know I know now please remember the deal okie? only pairs and flats.
2. What will a bear say when it is offered dessert?
No thanks because its stuffed. 🙂
Lifesong – cheating… googling is like copying in board exams..
Bikram – did you google? If yes cheater, cheater or else accept the yayyyy. You are the only one to get this correct.

Please please pardon me if I had done any mistake with the scoring.. I scratched my head (seriously) for more than one hour to write this post (no I didn’t take any break in between).
A beeeeeg round of applause for the top 3 winners, a bigger round of applause to the participants who were honest (those who gave the credit to google) and a bigger, bigger, bigger round of applause to all the participants (what winning or losing doesn’t matter. participation is the key na?) I know I am in zen mode now after scratching my head for too long. Let me stop here.
Thank you all for the participation. Hope you all had fun.

still how can AC be an alphabet sweetie? its okay you have been excused.. 🙂
Chalo kuch toh correct aya 🙂
yeah yeah and I laughed out loud on the spider kalyanam 🙂 luckily I was at home when I read it..
hey.. now i am in top 3 list.. :).. earring is also right for the ring with no fingers na.. :)..
ok ok agreed amma.. earring will also be counted but still you don’t get the point as you had only said “ear” 😀 😀
I want a re evaluation… I got the 12th one correct. Saturn too has rings but no fingers…. See I thought sooo hard for this one… I deserve half a mark more 🙂
why half only take 1 full mark for Saturn as you thought so hard darling.. so now your score is 5 and yayyy you made it to the top 3 🙂 🙂
YAY! I made it to the top 3 🙂 Thank you 🙂
yayyyyyy 🙂 🙂
I also want ‘re-evaluation. . I got the webbing one right.. and no googling.. I did a post myself a couple of days ago.. so had some of the answers..
These were the questions in those Christmas crackers..
And waise bhi I am not that dumb..he he he he..
But hey I wonnnnnnnnnn yayyyyyyyyy
That Friday one was so easy I am dumb 😦
But but I won wonnnnnnnnnn yayyyyyyyyy what’s for the prize…
sir you already top the list and what you going to get by re-evaluation? anyways I did that and your score doesn’t change 😀 😀 as the answer “Newly Webbed” doesn’t suit the question aptly.. see the question is “What do you call the event where spiders get married?” not “What do you call the spiders that are recently married” got it?
I got most of these questions from Adi.. who said you are dumb? who? who? show them to me..
yayyyy you won.. prize? ok let me be generous here.. you can buy whatever you want and consider it as a gift from me okie? 😉
right ji madam ji 🙂 half the mark to milna chahiye na he he he he
SO what do i winnnnnnnnnnnnn 🙂
my god am the lowest scorer 😦 hey it was fun working on the riddles 🙂
that’s the key.. having fun.. you are a very good girl garima 🙂

Congrats to the winners…I am bad at riddles I got the answer for none!
