Other three riddles to solve:

1.Some months have 30 days, some have 31; how many months have 28 days?

2.I have rivers without water,
Forests without trees,
Mountains without rocks
Towns without houses.

What am I?

3.A group of campers have been on vacation so long, that
they've forgotten the day of the week. The following
conversation ensues.

Darryl: What's the day? I don't think it is Thursday, Friday or Saturday.

Tracy: Well that doesn't narrow it down much. Yesterday was Sunday.

Melissa: Yesterday wasn't Sunday, tomorrow is Sunday.

Ben: The day after tomorrow is Saturday.

Adrienne: The day before yesterday was Thursday.

Susie: Tomorrow is Saturday.

David: I know that the day after tomorrow is not Friday.

If only one person's statement is true, what day of the week is it?

Enjoy! Big Smile [:D]

1. All months have at least 28 days. Sillies.

2. ?

3. If only one statement is true, then we must assume that Darryl is telling the truth that he THINKS it is not Thursday, Friday, or Saturday. So, his statement holds truth, but it is merely his opinion, and not fact. Therefore we cannot determine which day of the week it is. Right?

Ok,ok..it's wednesday,this is the reason: if it was any other day of the week, more than one statement would be true.To solve the riddle, evaluate each person's statement and write down what day it could be according to the statement.David's statement indicates it could be any day of the week except for Wednesday.When you list the days that it could be according to everyone's statement,it turns out Wednesday is the day mentioned only one time.
Darryl: Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday;
Tracy: Monday;
Melissa: Saturday;
Ben: Thursday;
Adrienne: Saturday;
Susie: Friday;
David: Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday or Saturday.
