Riddle #1

Mary's father has 4 children; three are named Nana, Nene, and Nini. So what is is the 4th child's name?


Riddle #2

A man has to get a fox, a chicken, and a sack of corn across a river. He has a rowboat, and it can only carry him and one other thing. If the fox and the chicken are left together, the fox will eat the chicken. If the chicken and the corn are left together, the chicken will eat the corn. How does the man do it? 


Riddle #3

Suppose there is only one barber shop in your town, and it employs two barbers. One of the barbers has a nice, neatly trimmed head of hair. The other's hair is a complete mess. You can't go outside of town to get a haircut from any other barber. Which of the two barbers should you go to and why?

  4. Haha I love riddles.

    The first one is pretty easy: Mary!
    I remember seeing the second one before too, but I can't remember the answer :P

    And for the third one, I THINK I would go for the one with the messy hair, because he must have cut the other barber's hair since they are the only barbers there.

    1. Mary

    2. The farmer brings the chicken across. Goes back and brings the fox across, and brings the chicken back with him to the other side of the river and drops off the chicken, then he goes and brings the corn sack across, and finally he goes back for the chicken and brings it across.

    3. Since there are only two barbers in town, it is safe to assume that the barbers would cut each other's hair. This being the case, I should sit down in the chair of the barber who has the awful haircut.

  8. #1: Mary

    #2: ang hirap naman.. chicken muna, then corn, then fox? ewan.. :P

    #3: i'd go for the one with messy hair, since there are no other barbers in town, methinks that messy-haired barber trims neat-haired barber's hair.. so yun.. ah basta.. :P

  10. My Answer:

    Riddle #1: Of course the 4th child is Mary! hehe

    Riddle #2: I'm not sure about this but I think he has to cross the river first before he could get those things??? Lame! haha pasensya na.

    Riddle #3: I'll go to the barber with terrible hair. Because that would mean, it's the other barber who cut his hair and messed it up. He (with the messed up hair) is the one who neatly trimmed the other barber's hair. After all, they're the only barbers in town! So it's the puzzle! Haha. Sana nakuha mo ang ibig kong sabihin.

  12. 1. nono? haha

    2. una ung chicken. tapos ung corn. pag balik nya, dalin nya ulit yung chicken. tapos iwan nya ulit, sunod ang fox. tapos balik ulit para sa chicken.

    3. get a haircut from the barber with messy hair, as he probably is the one giving nice haircuts to the other barber :)

  13. Riddle 1: Mary
    Riddle 2: The man and the chicken cross the river, (the fox and corn are safe together), he leaves the chicken on the other side and goes back across.The man then takes the fox across the river, and since he can't leave the fox and chicken together, he brings the chicken back. Again, since the chicken and corn can't be left together, he leaves the chicken and he takes the corn across and leaves it with the fox.He then returns to pick up the chicken and heads across the river one last time
    Riddle 3: Since there are only two barbers in town, it is safe to assume that the barbers would cut each other's hair. This being the case, I should sit down in the chair of the barber who has the awful haircut.

  17. riddle 1: Mary :)

    riddle 2: let us imagine that the place where the 3 characters are is called Place A, and across the river is Place B. the man has to bring with him the chicken to place B first. pag balik n'ya sa place A, he will get the fox and bring it to place B. pag balik naman n'ya to place A, he will carry with him the chicken. tapos, babalik na naman s'ya sa place B carrying with him the sack. and then babalik s'ya sa place A to get the chicken. (sana di kayo nalito sa kakabasa. hihi)

    riddle 3: i'd go for the barber with a messy hair, because i think he cuts better and sa pagiging super galing n'ya, wala na s'yang time to fix his own hair .haha

  30. awww... number one lang ata ng sure ko ang sagot. the name of the 4th child is Mary.. hehe..

    sa 2nd riddle, ala ko maisip na diskarte, antayin ko na lang ang sagot mo.

    3rd riddle- I think I'll go for the one that has messy hair because i think he works hard kaya di na nya nabibigyan ng panahon ang sarili nya. baka kasi yung isa magmadali dahil masyado syang vain.. haha..

    ewan.. basta maka-comment lang..kaw talaga pinag-iisip mo kami.. hehe.. :)

  31. hehe.. buti na lang di na ako nag-isip sa 2nd riddle, kakaloka ang habang process.. haha.. buti nung pag check ko wala pang sagot. siguro you're updating it habang nag-iisip ako, hehe.. so isa lang ang tama ko. yung pang 3rd 1/2 correct lang. hehe...

  33. #1 Mary
    #2 Fox and the sack of corn together, leaving the chicken on its own
    #3 You'd go to the barber with the bad hair cut because seeing as there are only two barbers in the town, the two barbers would have to cut each others hair. Meaning that the one with the bad hair cut had his cut by the bad barber. Hope that explanation makes sense lol!
