Riddle 1: How many letters are there in the 'alphabet'?

Riddle 2:What row of numbers comes next?
This is a tough one!
1
11
21
1211
111221
312211
13112221

Riddle 3:A boy was at a carnival and went to a booth where a man said to the boy, "If I write your exact weight on this piece of paper then you have to give me $50, but if I cannot, I will pay you $50."

The boy looked around and saw no scale so he agrees, thinking no matter what the carny writes he'll just say he weighs more or less.

In the end the boy ended up paying the man $50. How did the man win the bet?

Riddle 4:If you were running a race, and you passed the person in 2nd place, what place would you be in now?

Riddle 5:There is a common English word that is nine letters long. Each time you remove a letter from it, it still remains an English word - from nine letters right down to a single letter. What is the original word, and what are the words that it becomes after removing one letter at a time?

me, me. i have one for everyone! here goes... :x):

You're walking down a road to find the village of The Truth. The road suddenly splits into 2. One of the 2 roads leads to the village of The Truth. There in the middle stood 2 dwarfs. One dwarf is a liar who never tells the truth and the other dwarf who lives in the The Truth, who never tells a lie. What one question will you ask both in order to get to the village of The Truth?


i just remembered another one... :x):

There were two sisters who's parents died in a car accident. At the funeral, the younger sister saw the man of her dreams. He was a family friend. After a week, the younger sister killed the older sister. What was the reason?

"Show me the way to your village."

That way, the liar dwarf will not show the way to his village, and therefore, show the way to The Truth, and of course, the truthful dwarf will show the way to his village,  The Truth. Therefore, you get both dwarves pointing the way to The Truth.


I have no idea how to answer the other one...

Test your eyes

ALZHEIMERS' EYE TEST

Count every "F" in the following text:

FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE
SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTI
FIC STUDY COMBINED WITH
THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS...
(SEE BELOW)






HOW MANY ?




........................ 3?


WRONG, THERE ARE 6 -- no joke.
READ IT AGAIN !


The reasoning behind is further down.




The brain cannot process "OF".

Incredible or what? Go back and look again!!



Anyone who counts all 6 "F's" on the first go is a genius.
Three is normal, four is quite rare.
