Wow! I got one! Never thought I will get one, so I haven't got one ready... [Looking through his books, and hopes to find something simple...]

Two European coins add up to thirty cents, yet one of them is not a 20 eurocent. What coins are they?

There are denominations in 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50 eurocents.


-- Tim (hopes this one is really easy...)

PS. I really have to go to bed now (it's 1AM here), so if someone really wants to come up with a real riddle, please do.

I'd guess three, being the number of letters in ten.

An alternate answer to Tim's question, but I won't claim the ball:

Two european coins add up to thirty, that is, if you have fifteen of them.

You will have to explain this to me, because I don't get this one.

And if you didn't guessed by now, rowrow was right (still sleepy :closedeyes )

It occurs to me I need to post a riddle.

This one is lateral thinking.

The question is: "If she had followed her mother's advice she would still be alive today."

What was the advice and how did she die?

You can ask any yes or no questions you want but ONLY yes or no questions.

Or, you know, the answer.

Obviously her mother told her never to take an umbrella out when it rains.
She didn't listen and was killed by a bolt of lightning, poor girl.

I know! Her mother was a vampire, and naturally, wanted her daughter to be a vampire too.
But the girl refused (she was vegetarian), and so she died of old age. Should have listened to her mother's advice.

I know! I know! Her mother told her to beware of the Big Bad Wolf, and she didn't listen!
So she ended up eaten by the Wolf, what a horrible way to go.

Did she die by 'misadventure'?
If not, did she die of disease?
Would her mother's advice have made sense to most adults?

Um. Is this a riddle ?

Anyway, the answer is clearly that her mother wanted her to become friends with Ford Prefect before the Vogons appeared.

Her mother told her never to talk to strangers. But one day, a mysterious tall and handsome man appeared in the little town. The temptation was too great and she sneaked out one day and approached the stranger. One chat and two months later, she died in an obscure asian country fighting a war which wasn't hers. You never know when a stranger turns out to be a recruitment officer.

Is the fact that it was her mother who gave the advice relate to the advice? Eh.... kind of. No one else would tell her this; the reason for this all depends.

Did she die by 'misadventure'? 0_o Erm.... well.... no clue what you mean by 'misadventure'.

If not, did she die of disease? Nope.

Would her mother's advice have made sense to most adults? Nuh-uh.

Today's hint: If the mother's advice was nonsensical then how could it have applied?

And I've always wondered about that. I mean if there's a big bad hungry lone wolf in the deep dark forest do you send your only child out in a hugely-conspicuous red cloak and a good-smelling goodies to a grandmother who doesn't trust you enough to live reasonably close by?

Her mother told her not to read her diary, even after she passes away. In fact, she specifically said that the diary should be buried with her. But she didn't listen, and soon after her mother's funeral, she read the diary. To her horror, when reading the diary she discovered that her husband, whom she met in a foreign land, and to whom she was married for ten years now, was in fact her brother, thought to be long-lost! She couldn't bear this and so she took her own life.

It'd probably help if people asked more general questions :)

Was she a human?

Was she young when she died?

Did she die soon after receiving the advice? (say, within a week)

By 'misadventure', I mean a death caused unintentionally by herself. So, for example, if you tip a Coke machine on yourself while trying to get a can out, or drive a truck across thin ice, that's misadventure.
