Friday Fun! Boxing riddles!

First topic message reminder :

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.

oh dear, did think it was too easy

13. Surely the ones he left behind are still his.

10. Has an umbrella.

No, they don't have an umbrella

Scottrf wrote:13. Surely the ones he left behind are still his.

No, he's left them behind. Hence why he 'has' 4....

They are on a bus.

Or...

One of them is a bird and flies up above the rainclouds.

My answer is correct, the riddle should work without interaction, you're supposed to eliminate any possible correct answers that aren't the desired ones. Umbrella. Or a load of birds flying over his head.

I can't rule out every single bloody possibility!!!!!!!!!!1

And no Scott, you are wrong

It's not hard.... Just think about it a bit

The answer is the one who remains dry is in a coffin and the other four are his pallbearers, is pretty badly worded though because if he is indeed in a coffin he is not walking, he is being carried

i couldn't say he was being ruddy carried could i!!!!

FFS Rowley - back in that cage man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

He could be walking inside the coffin, coxy didn't say he was dead to be fair.

You didn't need to specify that they were all walking though.

You could have said the five people were on their way to church

You're just being silly now

Yep. All five named boxers are still alive though, so none of them are dead.

How do you dig a whole?

You have to be an urban integer fan?

Scottrf wrote:How do you dig a whole?

I can just imagine you with that emblazoned on a t-shirt.

Stop getting pedantic

I may have not got the wording spot on, but it was still gettable as proved by Rowley.

And Union, i just used boxers so to keep this in the boxing area!!! I wasn't going to name 4 and Jack Johnson was i?!

It would have made sense if you did.

I would, I could wear it instead of my "Team Khan" one.

Why are you all giving coxy a kicking? He took the time to put these riddles up. The true villain here is rowley, making us all look stupid by comparison.

Scott wears tailored socks, he never wears T shirts, how on earth can one carry a cravat and a t shirt off.

I can't believe you wear the same sock on either foot.

rowley wrote:How on earth can one carry a cravat and a t shirt off.

In a bag?

It wasn't a riddle Union

It was better than some of coxy's though.

He's annoyed because if the riddles aren't illogical, the answers given are incorrect. The answer to the socks one is definitely 11.

Great thread Coxy been laughing my head off.

It's not, it's that you have weird sock buying habits

It's five. Assuming the first four are each different colours, the fifth HAS to be the same colour as one of the first four.

Ricky - He had a hat on????

So if I leave a pint at the bar while I take other people's drinks to them it's no longer mine?

How do you walk in a coffin?

Truck+Eubank>Max weight the bridge can hold.

Dig a whole...

And they were under an umbrella.

Barman didn't know he had hiccups.

11.

All in all, a complete shambles.

Same colour, but it might be for the same foot too.

I'm with Scott on this one, even if you don't have poncey tailored socks, after an amount of time the amount of stretch at the toe end makes them suitable for left or right foot only.

If one doesn't wear them consistently on the same foot the amount of big toe stretch will be pretty equal and will be no more pronounced on one side or the other. Personally all mine are branded and so have the manufacturers logo or name on the side which makes it explicit which foot they belong to but have to say in those that are unbranded I don't imagine big toe stretch would be an issue

So you had a go at me for left/right foot socks when you have the same?

Who are you trying to kid, you mean Mickey Mouse goes on the outside.

In a nutshell, pretty much

11.

All in all everyone got them, sometimes very quickly. Proving the point they sufficed in terms of quality.

And it is 5, lets not descend into sock-gate

Do birds wear socks?

Birds were never part of any riddle.

Soil. You dig out soil to make a mound to get to the window.

Wouldn't the floor be solid concrete in a prison cell though?

So they are digging 1600 metric tonnes worth of soil with their bare hands without a guard noticing? Or did the guard leave a spade?

Union Cane wrote:Wouldn't the floor be solid concrete in a prison cell though?

Presumably under the concrete is soil. They must have a digger in the cell.

Union Cane wrote:They must have a digger in the cell.

Unlikely, Scott.

They are birds, it is the only feasible answer.

No such thing.

I too have a number of 'branded' socks, and the logo on each sock is almost always on both sides, make them suitable for either foot.
