Hehehe, nice. I love riddles. too bad I saw this post once it was answered. Specifically I like the second, which comes from the greek tragedy Oedipus King :P.

Here some of the ones I know, this one from a website: Could you explain how on earth "seven" can be the exact half of "twelve"?

I got this one from a magazine: The police calls Detective Williams to help them sort the death of Mr. Hannigan. He has been found hanged in the middle of one of the rooms of his house. The room has nothing inside, except the body and some traces of water beneath the corpse and it was locked from the inside when police arrived. Detective Williams immediately states "This has been a suicide". Is he right? If so, how Mr. Hannigan did it?

One from a website: After months of hard work the police has finally discovred the club where a dangerous gang makes bussines. Now they have to find out what's the password to get in to locate and arrest the criminals. Surveilance is put close to the entrance in order to find this information. They see a man knock on the door; a voice inside says "six" and the man answers "three". The door opens and he gets inside. Cops wait for some more time and then another man knocks on the door. The same voice inside says "twelve" and the man replies "six". The door opens and he gets inside. Confident on the information just witnessed the cops send a cover agent to the door. He knocks and the voice inside says "two"; the agent answers "one". The door opens, but the agent is shot dead from the inside. Some time later they decide to try again and send another agent. After knocking on the door the voice says "zero" and he answers "zero" only to be again shot dead from the inside. What went wrong? What is the right password then?

And the last one, from a newspaper: Mr. Jacobson is an adventurer exploring the depths of the jungle. He is ambushed by a tribe of cannibals who take them to their village. There he is introduced to the chief of the tribe who tells him of the ceremony of the tribe: "To please gods we let you decide how you die. Say a statement and if it turns out to be true, you'll die boiled in hot water; but if it turns out to be false you'll be burned at the stake. Make your choice" Mr. Jacobson knows that maybe he will not be able to get out of this one, but he chooses carefully his words... and it works. The phrase he said made the cannibals decide to let him go free. What did he say?
