500L, post your answer here, and send me an IM in game if I post that win. I went to the market to sell eggs today. My first patron bought half my eggs and half an egg more. My second patron bought half my remaining eggs and half an egg more. My third patron bought half my remaining eggs and half an egg more. After my third patron I was out of eggs. I had no more patrons that day and I sold all the eggs I brought today. Without breaking an egg, how many eggs did I take to market today? What a remarkably... eggy... riddle... Bleh, someone already posted the solution. _____________________

I remember this one because I flogged myself with a towel while reciting the riddle when young, acting out some sort of friarhoodesque bastion of punishment. Oh my. _____________________

Wow, I was so weirded out by Torley's imagery that I didn't even realize he'd answered the question.

A boy leaves home in the morning to go to school. At the moment he leaves the house he looks at the clock in the mirror. The clock has no number indication and for this reason the boy makes a mistake in interpreting the time (mirror-image). Just assuming the clock must be out of order, the boy cycles to school, where he arrives after twenty minutes. At that moment the clock at school shows a time that is two and a half hours later than the time that the boy saw on the clock at home.
What time did he arrive at school? _____________________

It's more powerful than God. It's more evil than the devil. The poor have it. The rich need it. If you eat it, you'll die. What is it? . _____________________
