Ok i'm gonna post some riddles, try and see if you can answer them.
If you've heard them before let the other guys answer. Have Fun!

Riddle #1: Solved by: dacougarmech

There is a son living in U.S.A and his mother in Canada,
the son wants to visit the mother and he has no passport.
Although he must cross a bridge in order to get to Canada.
It takes 2 hours to cross the bridge.
There is a guard on the bridge that sleeps and wakes up every hour
on the hour (this means one hour he's awake, the next he's asleep).
Also if he's awake at anytime and your on the bridge he'll throw you
back.

Note: No Bull answers like killing the guard, going under the bridge
blowing up the bridge, flying over.
Also u can't get a new passport:p


Riddle #2: Solved by Seahwang

There is a building with two floors (don't ask why)
and your on the second floor.
There are 3 light switches on this floor
and there's a lightbulb on the 1st floor,

by only leaving the second floor once?

Note: You have no items, no bulb socket on 2nd floor

I got number 2.

Go downstairs, grab the lightbulb, bring it upstairs and put it in the bulb slot thingy. Then try the swithes. (the bulb go into the ceiling upstairs and isn't plugged in downstairs)

oh opps thanks for reminding me pyro, there are no lightbulb sockets on the 2nd floor, and the room is completely empty, same with floor 1 except for the bulb, Don't worry there is still a way!

Okay that is kinda right but just to make it harder and make these riddles last....
The guard won't believe you from words. Cause then like millions of people could get accros the boarder, don't you agree?

Hint:::: You must perform a certain action for him to beleive you

Keep it going!

got a question about the second riddle
are they separate floors as in separate stories in a building?

edit::::::
what if... you stand on the second floor, overlooking the first floor like in some houses, and flick each of the switches

Well not really sure what that means, but like there's no way u can see what's going on in floor 1 without leaving floor 2 in the same building if that answers your Q

how can u get a new passport if u dont have an old one?
anyway... if u need to perform an action why not get a canadian flag and set it on fire right infront of the guard.. then hes gotta let u pass to Canada lol.

and for the electric train one... whos dumb enough to think an electric train blows smoke anyway?

You turn on 2 of the switches, go down and see if the light is on. Then u come back up and turn 2 diffetent switches on.

example: turn switch 1 and 3 on, go down and c if the light is on. if it is then turn on switch 2 and 3.

2. turn 2 of three light switches on......wait a while.......and turn off one of the two switches.....go down stairs.....

if the light is still on then it is the one that is turned on
if it is HOT then it is the one that u lastly turned off
if it is turned off and still cold then it is the one that u didnt mess with
