Friday Fun! Boxing riddles!

Are we allowed to have fun anymore? Are we going to create a new section for riddles?! Time to find out!

Anyway, i ran this on the old 606 and i must say it was an inspirational success! Answers will be updated as we go with new ones added if i can be bothered...

LAST 2 AS IVE HAD ENOUGH OF BIRD-GATE!

9) Ricky Hatton has 13 pints of guiness, he takes 4 away. How many does he have?

4

10) Ricky Hatton, Floyd Mayweather, Jose Castillo, George Foreman and Kevin Mitchell are all walking to church when it starts peeing down... 4 try to peg it for the church but get wet and the other stays still but is dry.... How?



7) Bob Arum walks into a room and finds that Brandon Rios has ended it all by hanging himself, his hands were tied and there was nothing to jump off to hang himself... all that was there was Rios and a puddle of water. How did he do it?

Stood on a block of ice and waited for it to melt.

8) Chris Eubank is driving his big giant truck that weights 5000kg across a bridge that can hold an absolute maximum of 5000kg. He gets halfway across and big fat (Truss) pesky hitchhiker jumps onto the back of his truck... yet the bridge doesn't collapse. Why?

the truck burnt off enough fuel (very long bridge you see) by that point

5) Ricky Hatton is 5'6, has a 65" reach, 50" chest, 30" inside leg and wears size 8 shoes and he's got a new job! He's a junior assistant at his brother Daves butchers! What does he weigh?

Meat

6) Mayweather Jr and Oscar de la Hoya are locked up in a cell for murdering Bob Arum. It's got a really high ceiling with an unbarred window at the top they can't reach as it's like 50ft away. They prison perimeter walls are 3 miles away so tunnelling out would take them too many years. How do they escape?

Dig a whole and use the soil to get upto the window!


3) Who got wet standing under an umbrella? Mayweather Jr, Vitali Klitschko, Ricky Hatton, a monkey, a shark or Calderon?

No-one got wet as i never said it was raining!

4) Erik Morales walks into a bar and asks for a cup of water, the barman pulls a shotgun on him. Morales then walks out and says thank you. Why?

He had hiccups



1) Floyd Mayweather Jr has been a very naughty boy and was found guilty of poking people in the eye. The judge was about to sentence him and the judge told him, "You may make on last statement. If it is true, I'll sentence you to four years in prison. If it is false, I'll sentence you to six years in prison." After Mayweather Jr his statement, the judge let him go free. What did the man say?

Gentleman01 wrote:1) "You will sentence me to 6 years in prison". If the Judge decrees that FMJ was lying he must sentence him to 6 years. However, by doing so he will render FMJ's statement true. In that case he is compelled to sentence him to 4 years. However, in doing so he will make FMJ's statement false, in which case he is bound to sentence him to 6 years which, as shown, will render FMJ's statement true, and so on and so on etc.. As such the Judge is left with no option but to release FMJ

2) Manny Pacquiao has a huge sock drawer which contains 6 black socks, 4 brown socks, 8 white socks, and 2 tan socks, how many socks would Pacquiao have to pull out in the dark to be sure you had a matching pair?

Rowley got it right, oh dear: Five. There are only four colors, so five socks guarantee that two will be the same color.

Ta

Coxy

And no, FMJ didn't say "take the test" to the judge

2 - five

Ruddle hell Rowley

What does that mean Coxy?

Thought i may get some random guesses first..!

1. nothing

Michaels, Sean wrote:1. nothing

Wrong.

You under estimated my genius Coxy, don't worry about it you're far from the first to do so.

Good logic, Rowley. 4 different colour socks, therefore by the fifth he would have a pair that matched. I assume that's how it works

I know the answer to No1

1) "You will sentence me to 6 years in prison". If the Judge decrees that FMJ was lying he must sentence him to 6 years. However, by doing so he will render FMJ's statement true. In that case he is compelled to sentence him to 4 years. However, in doing so he will make FMJ's statement false, in which case he is bound to sentence him to 6 years which, as shown, will render FMJ's statement true, and so on and so on etc.. As such the Judge is left with no option but to release FMJ

By all means share, i'll just go and find some harder ones!

1 - You'll sentence me to six years in prison

I don't think his sock drawer is all that impresseive certianly not "huge"

Correct

Now for some harder ones....

2 new ones....

4. Morales has hiccups.

A shark. Living under water

3.) all of them, they were in the sea.
4.) the barman has rabies

3) If this is anything like the old riddle in which a man spots his car without the help of a torch or moonlight, then I would guess that as you didn't explicitly state that it was raining, it wasn't raining, and no one got wet?

To be clear, Morales has hiccups and asks for a glass of water. The barman brings out a shotgun and frightens Morales's hiccups away.

Yup, hiccups!

And no, everyone is on land. So the shark, although obvious, isn't correct

However, he probably is dead. Do we condone animal cruelty on this board?

No one got wet

True. But they were under an umbrella anyway. Not the finest riddle I've seen.

must have been one of those massive mechanical umbrellas you see in beer gardens to fit Hatton under it. he would also have battered the shark and eaten it with mushy peas.

A parasol?

The umbrella had a hole in it and they were in Barrow in Furnes, so they all got wet

2 new ones up......

Ricky Hatton is 5'6, has a 65" reach, 50" chest, 30" inside leg and wears size 8 shoes and he's got a new job! He's a junior assistant at his brother Daves butchers! What does he weigh?

Meat

5. Meat.

How the hell did you beat me there...

As the missus often tells me she's never met anyone quicker than me

Christ sake, hopefully the prison one lasts a bit longer than Rowley's average of 2 minutes!

Someone left the door open?
They've got the key?

No

6) They serve their time, then walk free.

Union Cane wrote:6) They serve their time, then walk free.

They're in prison for life with no release or parole.

They urinate freely in the cell (I presume it is water-tight?) and and over time the amount of urine in the cell enables them to tread water and float in it, they continue this process until eventually they reach the level of the 50ft high window. They break the window and climb out, lowering themselves to the ground using the age old tradition of knotted sheets. Erm, the perimeter walls would still be 3 miles away though so this isn't going to work.

No Union but if you dig the tunnel and use the dirt to create a pile thus allowing you to reach the window that would work, what you do once out of the cell is anyone's guess

coxy could do that in five minutes.

Would Mayweather be happy with using urine or would he want blood?

Ha, very good trottb.

Kill themselves? Its technically escaping (the worst kind of escaping.)

Very good, am on lunch and meetings so will update when i get a chance!

The suspense is unbearable....

alma wrote:6. Presumably they are birds (i.e. can fly up to the unbarred window)

I do believe you've got it alma, they are birds called Mayweather Jr and Oscar de la Hoya.

I wonder what sort of birds they are. As a Mexican DLH would have to be an eagle, as depicted on their national flag. What would Mayweather be?

Not a penguin, that wouldn't work.

Mayweather is peacock. Lots of preening, but no real class
