Riddles have always been an interest of mine, though something I was never able to write personally. Riddles like joke writing take a special type of talent. (One that I do not personally hold)

Riddles are a fun and interesting way to take a minute to relax while still stimulating your mind. So in this edition of Fun Friday’s I would like each one of you to take a mental break and enjoy some fun, and quite possibly frustrating, riddles.

(The answers are posted at the bottom of the page… but no cheating now!)
