    So do you want to hear the answer? I'm not sure if thats what you are saying or not, since you could of just googled it. I hope your not under the impression that I created this riddle, lol that would be way beyond me. Its a riddle I heard about in either early middle school or late elementary though, so its been around for some time.

    Here is the Answer if you want it.
    People are stupid; given proper motivation, almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People’s heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true. People are stupid; they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so are all the easier to fool.

    I know you didn't write it because you were not sure if the last line was part of the riddle. I don't know how effective google would be in this situation, but maybe it is on the net, I don't think my riddles are (maybe one of them is). I posted earlier the closest thing I'm going to come to an answer to this thing, if that's not right then I have no clue.

    EDIT: Time???? I thought of that but it doesn't seem to fit all of them. Ah well, too tough for me. Nice one! +rep

    I'm not going to lie, I'm in the same boat with you. Someone made sense of it to me when I first tried to solve the riddle in school, but its escaped me since then.

    A riddle thats answer is a riddle. Thats just horrible. lol

    Okay, heres an easy one.

    What has six faces,
    But does not wear makeup.
    It also has twenty-one eyes,
    But cannot see?

    And another one.

    What is the next 3 letters in this riddle?

    I know this one, but it's because I've seen it before so I won't ruin it. It can be solved with the same method as the first number puzzle you posted though.

    Here's one (I did get this off the internet, but it's a good one, not too hard but takes some thought).

    You have four drinking glasses and you are asked to arrange them on a table so that the center of each glass's base is the exact same distance from the other three. How will you arrange them?

    e n t would be the next three letters.

    I obviously know what's going on here, so I'll +rep whoever can tell us how I arrived at this conclusion.

    Ah man, of course, I had to be the one who posted it, so I already know the answer. But... free rep... NO! Must resist the temptation!

    Okay, count to ten, breathe in breathe out...

    Ah, much better. I feel better now.

    This is one I found interesting and it took me a while

    I'm as small as an ant,
    as big as a whale.
    I'll approach like a breeeze,
    but can come like a gale.
    By some I get hit,
    but all have shown fear.
    I'll dance to the music,
    though I can't hear.
    Of names I have many,
    Of names I have one.
    I'm as slow as a snail,
    but from me you can't run.
    What am I?
