Награды:
| Правила: желающие выкладывают здесь загадки на английском языке. Можно писать и русские загадки, но переведенные на английский язык. Только так, чтобы смысл от этого не менялся и не зависел от языка. Загадывать можно сразу несколько штук одновременно. Чтобы загадка не потерялась, выделяйте ее жирным шрифтом, ответ на загадку - фиолетовым. Еще не забывайте подтверждать правильный ответ. Список загадок-отгадок здесь. Пожалуйста, не повторяйте их.
Но если загадка, которую Вы хотите загадать есть в этом списке, но она так и осталась неразгаданной, а у Вас есть на нее ответ, Вы можете загадать ее еще раз.

| Which road did he Take?
from the book "The Everyday english almanac" by M.Dubrovin.  Charlie started from his home on a bicycle. He wanted to go to the village which was 10 miles away.
He came to a cross-roads and found that the sign-post had been broken and lay in the middle of the road. Yet he made the sign-post tell him which was the right way to go.
It was a usual sign-post with four arms, on which were written the names of the villages to which the four roads led.
How did he do it?

| | Quote (sorciere) | Take away the whole and some still remains. What is it?
How did Mark legally marry three women in Michigan, without divorcing any of them, becoming legally separated, or any of them dying? |
It is a word-play in the first case.
And in the second case one must analyse the meaning of the word "marry".
| Quote (sorciere) | | A man leaves home jogging, then turns left, after making two more left turns, on his way home, he sees two masked men. Why is he not worried? |
To answer this question one must recall a game.
But man is not made for defeat. A man can be destroyed but not defeated.

| | Quote (Lady) | | Which road did he Take? |
Answer: Charlie knew the name of the village from which he had come. So he could say exactly in which direction the arm of the sign-post with the name of his village pointed. So he was able to say what roads were pointed to by the other arms. |

He is playing baseball, has hit a home-run and he sees an umpire and a catcher 
| Quote (Lady) | | Take away the whole and some still remains. What is it? |
the word "wholesome"
| Quote (Lady) | | How did Mark legally marry three women in Michigan, without divorcing any of them, becoming legally separated, or any of them dying? |
to marry- жениться самому и женить других. Mark - a clergyman, a priest or anyone who can marry other people

| Переношу сюда мою старую загадку. Если никто не угадает, чуть позже дам на нее ответ.
Two grand masters played five parties of chess. Each of them has won and has lost identical number of sets. They have not played any set a drawn game. How could it happen? Ваши неразгаданные загадки:
Если Вы найдете сриди них свою, пожалуйста, дайте либо подсказку, либо сразу ответ.
Также можно попытаться угадать, что это. A man walks up to you and says - "everything I say to you is a lie." Is he telling you the truth or is he lying? Can you say a truth? Why does a witch ride on a broom? The Old grandparent one hundred fur coats has dressed.
