OK, I won't give out rewards 'coz I'm kinda poor...

I'll start with an easy one...

First Riddle Thing: Greg and Tim go to their local tennis club and play three tennis matches. Both win and lose an equal amount of matches. How is this possible given you cannot have a draw in a tennis match?

Please don't post an answer if someone else already has posted that same answer.

They didn't play against each other.

Was one betting 3 matches (the kind you light fires with) that he'd lose 3 matches (the tennis game kind)???

[cjjones]

rabk - Correct.
Alpha Weapon - wtf??

rabk: 1

Second Riddle Thing: To refresh his senses after a wild party, a man goes out for a walk across a wet and windswept moor. There is low cloud cover, and not a single star could be seen in the sky. The man is relatively new to the area, and doesn't know the geography of the moor. He has no torch or compass, and there is no moonlight to guide his path.
How does the man avoid getting lost?

[Killerconvic]

the man has a flashlight and a map.

[Killerconvic]

isn't a moor a dock? and if it is, then he could hear the water, and just walk wherever the water was quietest.

[cjjones]

A moor is a dock, but no, that's not it...

[Neraphym]

Oh, it was daytime!

[Killerconvic]

Alpha Weapon: 'Twas daytime!

Third Riddle Thing: Billy is reading about Ancient Greece. One of his books shows a picture of the remains of a Temple in Corinth bearing the inscription 46BC. He looks in another book and sees a picture of exactly the same Temple, but on this one the inscription says 46AD.
How does Billy know which date is accurate?

[Killerconvic]

it has to be AD

no one would know it was BC, unless they could predict the future.

[cjjones]

Alpha Weapon: Yep.

rabk:1
Alpha:2

Fourth Riddle Thing: The squares on a game board are numbered consecutively from 1 to 99. In total, how many sixes and sevens are there on the board? (these were designed to be done in under one min).

[Phieta]

40, if you mean the digits 6 and 7.

2, if you mean the numbers six and seven.

[cjjones]

Phieta: Yep, did you do it in under 1 min??

Score:
rabk:1
Alpha Weapon:1
Killerconvic:1
Phieta:1

Fifth Riddle Thing: A French owned jet carrying forty British tourists home from Sicily crash-laned on the border between Northern Italy, France and Switzerland. Legally speaking, where should any survivors have been buried?
