Riddles and Questions

[altomarelatios]

Just answer the last question/riddle, after some thought, then ONLY after the poster of the question says correct, the next person who sees the correct sign can then post their own question...


I'll start... (This is a trick question)



A nobel king orders 10 loyal servants,
to go and take 10 sheep,
up a mountain and look after them (AKA be shepards)
(and live and stay on that mountain regardless)

however, the king didn't know that the land on that mountain was cursed, and an earthquake occurs once a month,
always killing exactly 1 person and 1 sheep.

After 5 months, what/who is left on the mountain?


notes:
1) communication between the servants and the king is not possible
2) no one else lives on that mountain

It's too open ended, we would need a hint, I'm down to thinking maybe they were all gone after either one month or two, and if not, then definitely before five because they would have ran out of food and then sheeps

10 shepherds and 10 sheep? Because it didn't say where the earthquake occurred so it could have killed one shepherd and one sheep where the king is. Maybe?

Ok please define: Is it 10 servants with 10 sheep EACH?
and who said the servants couldn't run away? They could just disobey the king.
And as said above: Where does the Eathquake strike?

NOTE: Spelling errors, Nobel - Noble and Shepard - Shepherd.

NOTE: Plz, riddles should be as clear as possible so there can only be one answer and so there is no doubt between the question and the answer.

rightrightright... in the summer i get a problem of paying attention for a long period of time.

Okay, so this one's kinda easy, really smart people, if someone doesn't answer this in a while, then put up the answer.

There is a rooster on top of a building. There is a slight wind blowing from the northeast, and the roof is tilted at an 80 degree angle. The rooster lays an egg. Which way does the egg roll?
