duznt actually say that. its a stupid riddle really cuz u have 2 assume a lot. it cud be anything between 1 and (insert number of all wives etc. added together) duznt give enough info as 2 wether they're all with him, or even if he's going the same way as you!

um hexadecimal, i no it sounds stupid, but that thread is dead. it hasnt been used in months, it shouild be closed and, although it did have some good stuff, should just be closed or something. u would hav moaned at negabin if he'd continued from that, so, um, yea. hehehe.

It's a rather well-known riddle actually. The answer is "only the man". All the other info is trivial and just there to confuse you.

The actual riddle says I PASSED a man on the way to St Ivey's intended to mean he was going the other way and therefore none of his entourage were going to St. Ivey's

Oh yeah, heres a lovely riddle.
Your locked in a room, certain death unless you can solve this, there are 2 poles and some string, find out which pole is magnetic. Another is (probably heard it) 2 roads and 2 guys, brothers, one always lies and one always tells you truth, you ask which way to heaven, one says left the other says right, how do you know which way to go?

Tie the string to the middle of one of the poles and see if it point north if it does it's magnetic if not the other one is

Ask one what the other would say and go the opposite way

A 16-year-old boy was driving a moped down a one-way street in the wrong direction. A policeman stopped him and gave him a ticket. The policeman paid the ticket himself. What is a logical explanation for this?
