Romeo and Juliet are found dead on the floor in a bedroom. When they were discovered, there were pieces of glass and some liquid on the floor. The only furniture in the room is a shelf and a bed. The house in is a remote location, away from everything except for the nearby railway track. What caused the death of Romeo and Juliet?

Well if you have the 12 5-quart pots over the same fire wouldn't it take the same length of time?

As for the Romeo and Juliet question, trains and rail travel hasn't been invented in Shakespeare's time. Juliet posioned herself while Romeo stabbed himself, no?

Hmm...

Maybe the train de-railed and hit the house which then hit the fish bowl which then hit the floor?

ooh

Lets see...

Two cars came to stop at a park gate. Seven men got out of the two cars and started along a footpath when it began to rain. Six of the men began to walk faster but the seventh man could'nt be bothered. Ironically, it was the seventh man that remained dry while the other six got soaked. Since all men arrived at their destination together, how was this possible?

and

A magician claims to be able to tell the score of any football game before it starts. many think he is psychic and holds supernatural powers. How come he was right 99 % of the time?

finally (American History )

The 22nd and 24th president of the US had the same mother and father, but were not brothers. How?

Good luck

22nd president of the US = Grover Cleveland = 24th president of the US. Why they count him twice we'll never know! But that's the answer; they're not brothers cos they're the same chap.

They all arrived at their destination together, but by different routes. The seventh guy took a shorter, sheltered route. The others went a longer, exposed way and got wet. THey walked faster along this longer route and arrived at the same time as Man #7.

The score of any football game before it starts is... 0-0. Why he can tell this only 99% of the time is beyond me!

The 6 are pallbearers, the seventh is the guy they're carrying, so he doesn't get wet...

Maybe the 1% is so that people don't think he's cheating?

Clooney is right about the presidents and the football, but bob is closest to the 1st riddle.

Bob, change the scenario and you've got the answer

Hmm... No - one?

Oh well, the answer was that it was a funeral . The six men were carrying a seventh man in the coffin. So even though the seventh man couldn't be bothered to go faster, he still arrived at the same time as the other men and didn't get wet.

Soo then...

Brain Teaser 1st...
What is the closest relation that your father's sister's sister-in-law could be to you?

next

A man claimed he was the worlds best marksman, and he proved it. He hung up his hat, walked 50 metres blind folded, the turned around and shot a bullet through his hat. Since the man couldn't see through his blindfold, how did he do it?

finally

A magician claimed to be able to walk across a lake without the use of any equipment. the following Sunday, a crowd came out and witnessed the magician acheive this. How did he do it without the aid of any special equipment what so ever?
(The lake is quite big - he couldn't jump across )

Good luck

A woman's sister-in-law could be the sister of her busband, or the wife of her brother. Choose option No 2 for this riddle. Then a man's sister's sister-in-law is his wife (or any of his brother's wives). And therefore your father's sister's sister-in-law is yo mamma.

He walkewd 25 meters away from his hat, and walked 25m back again. Or, he walked in a circle.

Because the water was solid. The lake was frozen.

Nope

Think about it...

He hangs up his hat walks 50 metres,, turns, and shoots a hole through it.

He cant shoot a hole through his head. So what else can he hang it on?
