    thats so incredibly stupid. Thats not even a riddle. It's a lame joke with a bad punchline.

    Sorry if the answer was disappointing. But nothing says brain teasers have to have clues. Nonsense logic brain teasers usually test the ability to creatively think outside the box or against usual assumptions, such as the giraffe one.

    Anyway, here's the next one for 250 minerals.

    "There was a ship that was used for taking tourists out to see the ocean. This ship could only carry a maximum of exactly 50 passengers, including captain and crew. One day, as usual, tourists got in line to get on the ship for the tour. They all proceeded to board the ship one by one, and the ship boarded up to its 49th passenger, but at the end of the line was a woman 8-months pregnant as the 50th and final passenger. The captain thought about it for just a second then proceeded to let the pregnant woman onboard. But as soon as the ship left the dock, it immediately sank into the ocean. Why did the ship sink into the ocean?"

    Good luck, 250 minerals for the first reply with the correct answer.

    When viewing the ocean, you are not limited to the surface. It only makes sense as the ship sank, it is possibly an underwater tour.

    edit: oh, i know, the passengers were overweight americans, so it was as if there were 100 people on the ship.

    well since two people have alreayd said my 1st answer: the baby i'll just put my 2nd answer

    the captain jumped of the boat so there'd only be 50

    A mother that is 8-months pregnant can give birth to the baby and the baby can survive. Therefore the baby can be considered a person which would exceed the limit of the ship by one person.

    or she gave birth to the baby while the ship was in the dock so when it left the dock it sank.

    thats not even really how those boats work they fit more than the "max" number... of course the last one had to do with a ****ing fire hydrant cause of course dogs couldn't possibly go to the bathroom without those. I mean, dog's were only around since the invention of the fire hydrant, before that there were no dogs because they all would have died from not being able to go to the bathroom.

    There were 50 passengers total if you just count the pregnant woman as one. However it can only hold 50 people so the 50 count of passengers did not include the captain and the crew. So, however many crewmen there were plus the captain put it over 50 people on board.
