I'll start easy and post harder ones as they get solved or by request. Please don't sidetrack with other little jokes or stupid riddles of your own. Try to keep the arguing of a particular riddle and/or it's answer to a minimum as I have cards here with Q & A that can't really be argued against (unless they are misprinted).

Q1: How long will it take to cut a wooden log into ten equal pieces if it takes one minute to make each cut?

PS- also note that some of these riddles are simply 'gotcha!' type where it's just some outside the box simple answer.
..and then I would, ya know, check em'. (Aka SpoR)

That depends on what you define by "cut."

I can do it in 4 if I'm allowed to stack logs on top of each other and cut them both with one strike.

But if I can't, then 9.

Q2: Duncan Drivel was asked how many ducks he had. "well," he said. "they just walked down the path and I didn't actually count them, but I remember one duck in front of two ducks, another duck behind two ducks and another duck between two ducks." how many ducks does Duncan have?

I'm not liking this quiz card game already... if you stand the log up and make 5 equally placed cuts along the diameter you have 10 equal pieces.... argh...

Q3: It was a major league baseball game that a pitcher faced only 27 batters. Every batter he faced, he struck out. He allowed no hits and no runs. His team lost 4-0. How could this be possible?

Q4: Rachel was sun bathing at a nude beach because she heard it was the best way to acquire an overall tan. Day after day she was out lying in the sun, yet couldn't manage the complete tan. What could she have done wrong to prevent her from receiving the even tones she so desired?

load base on walks -> error = no ERA, or hits.
