And since Kadath wants questions...I'll start with an easy one. A traveller met two men eating lunch, and joined them. One of the men had 3 loaves, and the other had 5. All were the same size. The three men shared the loaves equally. After they had eaten, the traveller gave the men 8 gold coins as payment for the food. How should the men fairly divide the money?

Shouldn't he just give the guy with 3 loaves 3 gold and the guy with 5 loaves 5 gold? there was no math to go with it, but it just seems to make sense. Also you can't split one gold coin anyways.

A man wanted to enter an exclusive club but did not know the password that was required. He waited by the door and listened. A club member knocked on the door and the doorman said, "twelve." The member replied, "six " and was let in. A second member came to the door and the doorman said, "six." The member replied, "three" and was let in. The man thought he had heard enough and walked up to the door. The doorman said ,"ten" and the man replied, "five." But he was not let in.

he should have said 3, in reference to the number of letters to spell the number that the doorman said.
sorry i myself don't know of any riddles to share
