Ok ive seen this some where else but this is how it works someone posts a riddle and then everyone trys to solve it and who ever solves it first gets to post the next riddle
EDIT:: oh ya there is a one day time limit if no one gets it in one day then the person who posted the riddle tells the answer and then posts a new riddle
you can only give one answer at a time until told it is correct or incorrect
ok ill go first ill start with an easyone
What gets bigger the more you take away from it?

stole this from somewhere:
There are 5 thiefs - A, B, C, D, E.
They are going to distribute the 100 stolen gems.
A first decides how to divide the gems.
If there are half or more people agree with A's decision, then it's final.
Otherwise, A won't get a single gem and B would distribute the gems instead.
Same rule, same game from A thru E.
(Assume all five of them are very smart.)
Question:
How does A distribute the gems so he will get the most out of 100?
(hint: definitely more than 34 )

well this is my gess
A 40 gems.
B 5 gems.
C 25 gems.
D 5 gems.
E 25 gems.
A will vote for it because its his deal B will vote againts it because hes getting screwed C will vote for it becasue he gest more gems than if they divided it evenully D will vote againts it becasue he is also getting screwed and E will Vote for it for the same reason as C

try this.
a 40
b 26
c 34
d 0
e 0
same resoning but. also i added this logic.
B would be unlikly to get a game out of this deal, and the same with C.
so. if you split 100 between 4 you get 25 and if you split 33 between 3 you get 33.3recuring.
by this methode they both get more than a posable even split.
this leaves 40 left. so a takes this.
in this system E and D would both likely have had the hole winnings, so both get nothing.
this concloudes my guess.

OK if you want a really logical answer, here's one.
A 98
B 0
C 1
D 1
E 0
C and D know that if B gets to choose, he'll probably give something to E and then take the pot because no matter what, E gets at best one gem.

Jo, no. They would prefer even
Here's mine:
A: 58
B: screwed
C: 21 (1 above normal)
D: 21 (1 above normal)
E: screwed
Thats the max possible he could get that others would go for

B would know he could get more, so he would vote against it. C would vote for it, because if B gets to choose, C will be screwed. D & E will vote against it in the hopes that they might be able to get a little bit. Thus, A loses.

I editted it
and the reason you cant use less than 20 is cuz then just an even split would be more in their favor.
