Gor Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Today, my 14 year old son asked me a riddle, and I thought you guys would find it interesting. What's black when you buy it, red when you use it, and white when you throw it away? Post your answers, and we'll see how clever you are.

Gor Posted May 17, 2013 Author Share Posted May 17, 2013 Jimn got it first. The answer is coal. Charcoal works, too. The boy said he came up with it on his own, but it sounds like the kind of riddle that's been around for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
