* Two men are playing chess. They play five games total. Each man wins three games. How? One win each then three stalemates. Stalemates count as a half point to both. Each man will have two and a half points which counts as three wins as it's rounded up.

*A heavy metal fan enters a barber shop. All dressed in leather, wearing Dr. Martin's shoes. His hair reaches half of his back and his beard drops below chest. He takes of his hat, sunglasses and shaves his head and beard. After he exits the barber shop, he has more hair and longer beard than when he entered. How is this possible?

*Einstein's Riddle
A priceless fish has been stolen, and the detectives, after much work, have decided it was stolen by the owner of one of 5 houses. They cannot choose the wrong house or they might alert the thief. Can you help them locate the person who has the fish?
The Situation
- There are 5 houses in five different colors. - In each house lives a person of a different nationality. - These five owners drink a certain type of beverage, smoke a certain brand of cigar, and keep a certain pet. - No owners have the same pet, smoke the same brand of cigar or drink the same beverage.
Hints
- The Brit lives in the red house. - The Swede keeps dogs as pets. - The Dane drinks tea. - The green house is on the left of the white house. - The green house's owner drinks coffee. - The person who smokes Pall Mall rears birds. - The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhill. - The man living in the center house drinks milk. - The Norwegian lives in the first house. - The man who smokes blends lives next to the one who keeps cats. - The man who keeps horses lives next to the man who smokes Dunhill. - The owner who smokes BlueMaster drinks beer. - The German smokes Prince. - The Norwegian lives next to the blue house. - The man who smokes blend has a neighbor who drinks water.

It was the Prince-smoking, coffee-drinking German in the green house (the fourth one). It should have been obvious. A German who drinks coffee instead of beer is up to something.

*When is 99 more than 100? In Hexadecimal. Strictly speaking any number base of 11 or higher, but let's do Hex 'cause it's in me head already.
99 = (9 × 16¹) + (9 × 16⁰) = 153
Also worth noting that:
OCT 31 = DEC 25

Also worth noting that:
OCT 31 = DEC 25 The mathematician in me dislikes that answer as it implies the questioner is a cheat (by mixing bases with no indication - which would make the riddle pointless). Because it's never true if both numbers are in the same base (assuming the base allows for a digit 9).
Using Hex: 9916 = 15310 true but 10016 = 25610
And yes, I've always loved the Halloween/Christmas connection ... but then I'm just plain evil.
Oh, and of course everybody knows there are 10 types of people in the world; those who understand binary and those who don't.

Also worth noting that:
OCT 31 = DEC 25 However 100 hex would be equal to 1 x 16 x 16 = 256 which is more than 153. Even FF hex (255 decimal) is still less than 100 hex. In any number base, a 3 digit number (first digit non-zero) will always be higher value than a 2 digit number. Thank you for bringing back college memories where I had to write programs in assembly language and manually translate into machine code (ones and zeroes) for a 16 bit processor and then enter the code into system memory using toggle switches.

It could be correct, if the base is kept to 10 in 100, but is switched to hex in 99.
Or the other way around, you keep 99 in 10 as base, but do 100 as binary.

* I have a calculator that can display ten digits. How many different ten-digit numbers can I type using just the 0-9 keys once each, and moving from one keypress to the next using the knight’s move in chess? Assuming you're using a keypad much like the ti-83, one. You can never reach the 5 key unless you start on 5, in every other case you cannot hit any other key. Of course, if one has an infinitely-sized calculator with multiple keys for each number, every combination is possible. 5034927618 Edit: Oooorrrr, I could be an idiot. On that particular model there are a couple more, as long as it either starts on 5 or ends on 5. Those are a little limited, though, since it has to end in '305. 4927618305 8167294305 5038167294
