Correct well done. Ok try this one:
I am a rock group that has four members all of whom are dead, one of which was assassinated. Who are we?

Many things can create one. It can be of any shape or size. It is created for various reasons, and it can shrink or grow with time. What is it?

Well I'm no music expert, so I can't answer that yes or no. But the answer I was looking for is actually more sneaky than that.

Hehe correct again. Be honest are you cheating and using Google to find out the answers, or are you just a really good guesser??

i have to problem solve every day and try to guess the most logical answer to a problem. and i have to do it quick, 'cause we're on a deadline. One of the reasons i love my job.
In that case I applaud you fine lady. Here's my last offering for the day:
"1 door closes, 9 open. When 9 close, 1 door opens. What is it?"
Apparently this has been stumping people all across the world!!

An old man wanted to leave all of his money to one of his three sons, but he didn't know which one he should give it to. He gave each of them a few coins and told them to buy something that would be able to fill their living room. The first man bought straw, but there was not enough to fill the room. The second bought some sticks, but they still did not fill the room. The third man bought two things that filled the room, so he obtained his father's fortune. What were the two things that the man bought?

here's an easy one...
A doctor and a bus driver are both in love with the same woman, an attractive girl named Sarah. The bus driver had to go on a long bustrip that would last a week. Before he left, he gave Sarah seven apples. Why?

Two girls were born the same day, at just about the same time, in the same hospital, the same year, and they have the same parents. How is it possible that they aren't twins?

Hahaha sorry about that, you know I kinda had forgotten abou this riddle my bad. You are probably right Flop, most of the other riddles came to my head, but for that one (bad one I know) I just Googled impossible riddles and got that one. Maybe it was impossible because the supposed answer isn't true. If that's the case, then I apologise, but at least I managed to stump you all for about a day hehehe.
Ok here is the supposed answer:
The answer is supposed to be a person. When a baby is in the womb, the navel is open, but the other nine orifices of a person (two eyes, two nostrils, two ears, one mouth, two openings for excretion) are all closed. When the baby is born, the navel is closed, but the other nine open.
I'm sure Flop however can prove this wrong, so I'm off to go shoot the creators of this!!!!! :-5

Nope. Navel doesn't work. I'm afraid I'll have to report you to the riddle referee, whereupon you will be charged and will stand before the quiz inquisitor. There you will be asked what your punishment has been decided to be. If you can't answer correctly in 3 tries, you will be put to death.
Sorry. :guitarist

That's impossible, so I may as well wave goodbye now!
Ok here are my guesses.
1) Having to spend an eternity coming up with answers for riddles that don't exist.
2) Guillotine.
3) Having to listen to Britney Spears CD's, (though if that's the case I'd rather just die anyway!!

)
