Re: hey! friends try these riddles ....
What about this one?It's pretty tricky.
The Riddle
I am your constant companion.
I am your greatest helper or heaviest burden.
I will push you onward or drag you down to failure.
I am completely at your command.
Half the things you do might just as well be turned over to me and I will be able to do them quickly and correctly.
I am easily managed - you must merely be firm with me.
Show me exactly how you want something done and after a fewlessons I will do it automatically.
I am the servant of all great people and, alas, of all failures, as well.
Those who are great, I have made great.
Those who are failures, I have made failures.
I am not a machine, though I work with all the precision of a machine plus the intelligence of a person.
You may run me for profit or run me for ruin - it makes no difference to me.
Take me, train me, be firm with me, and I will place the world at your feet.
Be easy with me and I will destroy you.
Who am I?

Some riddles
Here are some riddles
1)A simple peasant is has bought a number of camels and is taking them to his farm.
As he rides contentedly along he counts them - he counts 29.
He was sure he had bought 30 camel, so in alarm he jumps off his camel and counts the camels again. To his delight there are 30.
Half an hour later, he counts his camels and once more there are just 29.
Cconfused, he climbs off his camel and counts again.
Once more there are 30.
Can you explain?
2)A rich man's son was kidnapped.
The ransom note told him to bring a valuable diamond to a phone booth in the middle of a public park.
Plainclothes police officers surrounded the park, intending to follow the criminal or his messenger.
The rich man arrived at the phone booth and followed instructions but the police were powerless to prevent the diamond from leaving the park and reaching the crafty villain.
How did the kidnaper get away with the valuable diamond?
3)A horse is tied to a 15 ft. rope and there is a bail of hay 25 ft. away from him. Yet the horse is able to eat from the bail of hay. How is this possible
4)Steve, a party magician and a juggler, is carrying three pieces of gold each piece weighing one kilogram.
On the way to a session he comes to a bridge which has a sign posted saying the bridge could hold only a maximum of 80 kilograms.
Steve weighs 78 kilograms and the gold weighs three kilograms.
He reads the sign and still safely crossed the bridge with all the gold.
How did he manage this?
5)A horse travels the same distance every day.
Oddly, two of its legs travel 30 miles each day and the other two legs travel nearly 31 miles.
It would seem that two of the horse's legs must be one mile ahead of the other two legs, but of course this can't be true.
Since the horse is normal, how is this situation possible?

Answeres
1)When he is on the camel he omits to count it.
2)This is a true story which happened in Taiwan.
When the rich man reached the phone booth he found a carrier pigeon in a cage. It had a message attached telling the man to put the diamond in a small bag which was around the pigeon's neck and to release the bird.
When the man did this the police were powerless to follow the bird as it returned across the city to its owner.
3)The rope isn't tied to anything, so the horse can go freely to anywhere it pleases.
4)Steve is a juggler. When he came to the bridge he juggled the gold, always keeping one piece in the air
5)The horse operates a mill and travels in a circular clockwise direction. The two outside legs will travel a greater distance than the two inside legs.
