Question: 
A farmer had a stone that he used to measure grain on his scale. One day his neighbor borrowed the stone, and when he returned, it was broken into four pieces. The neighbor was very apologetic, but the farmer thanked the neighbor for doing him a big favor. The farmer said that now he can measure his grain in one pound increments starting at one pound all the way to forty pounds (1, 2, 3, 17, 29, 37, etc.) using these four stones.
How much do the four stones weigh?

| A babysitter came over one day to babysit 10 children. She decided to give them a snack. In a jar there were 10 cookies. She wants to give each one a cookie, but still keep one in the jar. How will she do it? (WITHOUT BREAKING ANY COOKIES-EACH CHILD HAS TO GET A WHOLE!)

Question:
A "Wise King" devised a contest to see who would receive the Princess hand in marriage.
The Princess was put in a 50x50 foot carpeted room. Each of her four suitors were put in one corner of the room with a small box to stand on. The first one to touch the Princess hand would be the winner and become the new King.
The rules of the test were that the contestants could not walk over the carpet, cross the plane of the carpet, or hang from anything; nor could they use anything but their body and wits (i.e. no magic or telepathy, nor any items such as ladders, block and tackles, etc.).
One suitor figured out a way and married the Princess and became the new King.
How did he figure it out?

I would guess "Air" or Cold air
I turn polar bears white - hair is hollow full of air
and I will make you cry. -A cold wind can make you cry
I make guys have to pee - a cold breeze if you are exposed
and girls comb their hair. - wind will mess up hair
I make celebrities look stupid - same -wind will mess up hair
and normal people look like celebrities. - Sometimes wind will cause that "wind blown look"
I turn pancakes brown - turning brown when cooking is because of heat induced oxydation
and make your champane bubble. - CO2
If you sqeeze me, I'll pop. - air in bubble wrap
If you look at me, you'll pop. - this last one I'm not sure of. If you look into the wind do your eyes pop? Looking into the wind when trying to hit a baseball make you pop-up?

Let's all work together to come up with the most accurate solutions to these VERY HARD riddles. This could make for some very interesting debates.
----------
Riddle 1:
----------
Rachel and David are twins; Rachel is the OLDER twin. Assume they were born immediately after each other, an infinitesimally small - but nonzero - amount of time apart. During a year in the course of their lives, Rachel celebrates her birthday two days AFTER David does. How is this possible?
Bonus: What is the maximum amount of time by which Rachel and David can be apart in their birthday celebrations during the same year?
Note: For both Rachel and David, these birthday celebrations happen on the actual birthday date -- it cannot be a celebration that occurs at a date earlier or later than the actual birthday date for whatever reasons of convenience. Also, the solution has nothing to do with the theory of relativity or any other over complicated nonsense like that.

Ok, this riddle has got me stumped so if anyone wants to bounce ideas off one another, we can see if we can come up with the answer.
I turn polar bears white
and I will make you cry.
I make guys have to pee
and girls comb their hair.
I make celebrities look stupid
and normal people look like celebrities.
I turn pancakes brown
and make your champane bubble.
If you sqeeze me, I'll pop.
If you look at me, you'll pop.
Can you guess the riddle?
Like I said, I don't know the answer, so I'm just as confused as the rest of you...

In the dark I am found, without being fetched.
In the day I am lost, without being stolen.
What am I?

My face is pale and full and fair, and round it there are beauty spots. Indeed, by day I seem less bright, and when I`m seen sometimes at night. But when the sun has gone to bed, I then begin to show my head. What am I?
