Y'all stomped the other riddles. Now answer these.

Riddle 1:

Four men were in a boat on the lake. The boat turns over, and all four men sink to the bottom of the lake, yet not a single man got wet! Why?

Riddle 2:

How many times can you subtract the number 5 from 25?

Riddle 3:

What two things can you never eat for breakfast?

Riddle 4:

While on my way to St. Ives, I saw a man with 7 wives. Each wife had 7 sacks. Each sack had 7 cats. Each cat had 7 kittens. Kittens, cats, sacks, wives, how many were going to St. Ives?

Riddle 5:

What never gets any wetter, no matter how much it rains?

Riddle 6:

I am large as a castle, yet lighter than air. 100 men and their horses cannot move me. What am I?


Have fun! :D
