Riddles comin' at you bro.
So yeah, this thread is pretty straightforward and not very inventive, but who cares. Give your best answers.
Riddle #1: An Arab sheikh is old and must will his fortune to one of his two sons. He makes a proposition. His two sons will ride their camels in a race, and whichever camel crosses the finish line last will win the fortune for its owner. During the race, the two brothers wander aimlessly for days, neither willing to cross the finish line. In desperation, they ask a wise man for advice. He tells them something; then the brothers leap onto the camels and charge toward the finish line. What did the wise man say?
Riddle #2: (Easier!) Scientific studies have shown that there is a direct, positive correlation between foot size and performance in spelling bees / spelling tests. how can you explain this correlation?
Riddle #3: (Even easier!) If you were to put a coin into an empty bottle and then insert a cork in the bottle's opening, how could you remove the coin without taking out the cork or breaking the bottle?
Riddle #4: You have a car with a very flat roof, on a level road. There's a helium balloon in the car, barely scraping the roof - any slight force will move it. You start the car and accelerate forward very fast. Does the balloon move with respect to the car? If so, how? (This does not depend on wind from open windows or anything tricky.)

Just kidding.
But saying that's its the age means that the factor correlating to spelling skill isn't footsize.

i might have had an advantage though since I vaguely remembered the riddle
There is an island of monks where everyone has either brown eyes or red eyes. Monks who have red eyes are cursed, and are supposed to commit suicide at midnight. However, no one ever talks about what color eyes they have, because the monks have a vow of silence. Also, there are no reflective surfaces on the whole island. Thus, no one knows their own eye color; they can only see the eye colors of other people, and not say anything about them. Life goes on, with brown-eyed monks and red-eyed monks living happily together in peace, and no one ever committing suicide. Then one day a tourist visits the island monastery, and, not knowing that he's not supposed to talk about eyes, he states the observation "At least one of you has red eyes." Having acquired this new information, something dramatic happens among the monks. What happens?
And the three kings bought mir, gold, and frankincense to the Messiah.
