A man runs into the woods. He runs and runs and runs. Knowing that the woods are twice as wide as he can run in an hour, and that he is a marathon runner, how far into the woods can he run?

An hour.

 

[Drawmack]

Mountain and wind are correct.

Silence is not.

 

[seasong]

The runner can run halfway in, or an hour; either answer is correct . That one was too easy again .

 

[Drawmack]

Seasong,
The question was how far, an hour is not a distance.

4 men sat down to play,
They played all night 'till break of day.
They played for gold and not for fun
With seperate scores for everyone.
When they came to square accounts,
They all had made quite fair ammounts.
Can you see the paradox explain,
If no one lost, how could all gain?

I'm an idiot. They were musicians. "Separate scores for everyone" was the key.

a) they are playing at different tables

b) they are wagering on the game but not at the game and each won his individual bet

a. nope they are all playing together
b. They were playing something, not betting.

I can't remember for sure, but I think the third one (that "kills laughter") is time. I'm almost positive that's the big riddle in The Hobbit, where he pleads for more time, saying "Time! Time!" and accidentally guesses it.

We have a winner!
