Riddle of the Day 21 Dec 07

[TmT]

A "Wise King" devised a contest to see who would receive the Princess hand in marriage.

The Princess was put in a 50x50 foot carpeted room. Each of her four suitors were put in one corner of the room with a small box to stand on. The first one to touch the Princess hand would be the winner and become the new King.

The rules of the test were that the contestants could not walk over the carpet, cross the plane of the carpet, or hang from anything; nor could they use anything but their body and wits (i.e. no magic or telepathy, nor any items such as ladders, block and tackles, etc.).

One suitor figured out a way and married the Princess and became the new King.

How did he figure it out?

*Hint: you can try to figure this out w/o cheating or "google it" (Google Queen) lol*

Riddle 2 of the Day

A 6-foot tall Magician had a water glass and was holding the glass above his head. He let it drop to the carpet without spilling a single drop of water.

How could he manage to drop the glass from a height of six feet and not spill a drop of water?

[Darling SilverDodger]

Lets see  ... "a water glass" doesn't mean a glass of water but a kind of drinking glass ... so going with that --- the Magician dropped an empty glass to the floor

[TmT]
