[Retire Young, Retire Rich] [strum]Either:
1. He changed the sign to read 81kgs (just because it’s written doesn’t mean it’s correct) and simply walked across,
2. He used his engineering skills to strengthen the bridge so he could cross with no risk,
3. He went for a 15km run & sweated out a kilo and went across safely with all the gold OR
4. He carried over the bits of gold separately (didn’t state he couldn’t put one down for a trip).
Where’s that square again?

He threw one of the gold pieces across to the other side…[biggrin][biggrin][biggrin]…hehehe

All your answers are wrong.Chan,
All my answers fulfil the original parameters – therefore they are all correct
They just aren’t the answer you are hoping for.
You can have more than one correct answer.
Cheers,
Aceyducey
Aceyducey,
You can put it that way. And yes those are not the answer I am hoping for. Maybe you can try again.Kind regards

[Retire Young, Retire Rich] [strum]While imagining John, we imagine him 1 kilo lighter? [whistle]
“Looking forward to the day when I can tell the boss where to go”
Can only subbtract 5 from 25 once. After that you are subtracting it from 20 then 15 etc.
As for the diamond one I have no idea – will have to use my imagination as it defies logic!

Hint for Riddle 500:
The day that I solved this riddle, I was walking along the street and I saw someone carring 3 tennis balls and play around with it.2 more riddles has been add to the initial posted.

Looking forward to see your answers tomorrow night when I return.

one piece in the air.Only Riddle 502 still not answer, anyone?
Kind regards

[Retire Young, Retire Rich] [strum]The man WAS the villain, he kidnapped his own son?
“Looking forward to the day when I can tell the boss where to go”
When the man got his instructions he left with the diamond and deposited it somewhere else as per the instructions.The kidnapper knew the police would be watching.So he told the rich man to take the diamond elsewhere and not tell the police.
