I Love Riddles! How About You?

Riddles!

I was going through some things I had and ran across two riddles that I heard as child growing up. I thought I'd like to share them with you. Now for those of you who run to 'Google' for searches, etc. Please do not go there to find the solution. This is will be a 'brain exercise' and will be fun to 'figure out' the solutions! Right??? Right!!!

I actually remember being about 12 years old when my dad told these two riddles to me and it took me a little while to figure them out but I got the right answers! You can do it too and probably quicker than I did!

Here goes:

Riddle #1 - $100 and 100 Animals
Chickens are 50 cents each
Cows are $3.00 each
Horses are $10.00 each

You have $100 to spend and you must have a total of 100 animals.


Riddle #2 - A farmer, a boat, a fox, a chicken and a sack of grain.
You are the farmer and you have a boat on one side of the river. With you is your fox, chicken, and a sack of grain. You have to get all three to the other side of the river. You cannot take all three with you at the same time. If you leave the chicken with the grain, it will eat the grain. If the chicken is left with the fox, the fox will eat the chicken. How do you get all three across the river to the other side?

I have the solutions to both riddles. If you want the answers, e-mail me and I will let you know if your answers are correct! Have fun! :o)
