Here are three.


1. What comes next in this series of numbers:
1
11
21
1211
111221
312211
13112221

2. If I say "Everything I tell you is a lie," am I telling you the truth or a lie?

3. What English word retains the same pronunciation, even after you take away four of its five letters?

That is not a riddle, its a paradox. If you are telling the truth, then the statement is a lie, and is not the truth, and is therefor the truth, etc.

3. What English word retains the same pronunciation, even after you take away four of its five letters?
Aitch? I'm not a native speaker, so my vocabulary is kind of limited.

You got #1 right, but you have #2 and #3 wrong.

Oh right. The statement is a lie because you are only lying occasionally.
I was reading up on paradoxes a few weeks ago, and I guess my brain got hung up on them. :P

Also, #3 is technically right.

"Aitch" isn't an English word. So, its not even technically right...

2) If the statement is anything, it's false. It cannot be true, for that would make it self-contradictory. If it is false, that would imply that something said by the speaker is truthful, which is not necessarily true. If not, then th estatement is neither true nor false.

True causes a paradox. False doesn't. Case closed.

3) queue
Well, that's a French word that's been assimilated into English.
Lurk more.

Razzorman got the first 2, Deep Embrace got the last one.

SO, can you solve this one?

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?

Pressure?

EDIT: I'm not using Google, I promise. :) I do realize you may be referring to more than one thing.
