Regardless of whether or not this is correct, here is mine:
Fanny Filinger was of the impression that eighty-six years of history show that scientific research is of the utmost importance in every case of future generations.
How many times does the letter " f " appear in the above sentence (upper and lower case both count towards the total)?

PS Sorry I had somehow missed Badbub's answer.
Is it 8?
Here is mine
Merlin showed King Arthur three chests. One contained gold, one silver, and one bronze. One chest was labelled Gold Coins, the second was labelled Silver Coins, and the last Gold Or Silver Coins. Merlin stated that all 3 labels were on wrong chests. How many chests must King Arthur open to deduce which coins are in each chest?
he doesn't open any, the one that says gold or silver must be bronze, the one that says gold therefore must be silver, and the one that says silver of course has to be gold
he doesn't open any, the one that says gold or silver must be bronze, the one that says gold therefore must be silver, and the one that says silver of course has to be gold
Correct, I read it once and thought it was pretty tough until I thought about it.
1 door closes, 9 open. When 9 close, 1 door opens. What is it?
This is apparantly unsolvable, I got it from a riddle website, and they say they can't find an answer to it. Let's try to be the first to get it.
"Think of words ending in -GRY. Angry and hungry are two of them. There are only three words in the English language. What is the third word? The word is something that everyone uses every day. If you have listened carefully, I have already told you what it is."

Is it a revolving door? You know the big doors that you can get stuck in sometimes if your not quick enough.

This is from the story of King Solomon from the Bible. It is one of the riddles supposedly asked to him by the Queen of Sheba.
"What is it? An enclosure with ten doors; when one is open, nine are shut, and when nine are open, one is shut," Sheba asked Solomon.
Solomon answered, "The enclosure is the womb, and the ten doors are the ten orifices of man, namely his eyes, his ears, his nostrils, his mouth, the apertures for discharge of excreta and urine, and the navel. When the child is still in its mother's womb, the navel is open, but all the other apertures are shut, but when the child issues from the womb the navel is closed and the other orifices are open."
"Think of words ending in -GRY. Angry and hungry are two of them. There are only three words in the English language. What is the third word? The word is something that everyone uses every day. If you have listened carefully, I have already told you what it is."
Language. Three words in "the English Language", "language" being the third .
Maybe you guys have heard this one (it was a little riddle I remember from my school days):
3 guys go out to lunch. Their meals cost 10 bucks each. Total thus 30 bucks due, which they pay her.
But the waitress says it's on special that day, and they get a 5 buck (discount) given back.
Now they can't split the 5 bucks equally, and decide to give the waitress a 2 buck tip - leaving 3 bucks, i.e. each getting 1 buck back. So each of them has therefore paid 9 bucks for their meal (10 minus 1 = 9), not counting the waitress'es 2 buck tip.
Thus: Three (3) guys X 9 bucks each = 27. Plus the 2 bucks given to the waitress (27 + 2) = 29.
There's a buck missing (they paid her 30 bucks originally). Where'd it go?
Did it go to a math class? And apparently one that teaches a form of math that doesn't add up.
The Three (3) guys X 9 bucks each included the $2 tip to the waitress. Therefore, The guys paid 27 total for the lunch and tip, and each pocketed $1. That would be (3 X 9) + (3 X 1) = 30.
There is an incorrect assertion that the gentlemen paid $9 for their meal, not counting the waitress's tip. The previous sentence clearly shows the $9 each includes the tip. So, this isn't as much a riddle as it is a a question with a false statement in the middle.

Although, your question states they give the waitress a $2 tip but then the $9 doesn't include the tip, despit the fact that it does. So, the math here is wrong.
Bingo! That was a primary school type of quiz, but you'll be surprised at how many grown-ups are totally stumped by it.
