Yes. It was kind of obvious, was it not? Here's another

What does a man love more than life?
Fear more than death or mortal strife?
What do the poor have, the rich require and all contented men desire?
What beggars keep and strife thrifts save, and all men carry to the grave?

and all men carry to the grave?

That is not so true. Egyptians carry all their possessions to the grave, even their organs! But yes, I agree the answer is nothing.

Correct... You always get my riddles.

Three different numbers are chosen at random, and one is written on each of three slips of paper. The slips are then placed face down on the table. The objective is to choose the slip upon which is written the largest number.

Here are the rules: You can turn over any slip of paper and look at the amount written on it. If for any reason you think this is the largest, you're done; you keep it. Otherwise you discard it and turn over a second slip. Again, if you think this is the one with the biggest number, you keep that one and the game is over. If you don't, you discard that one too, and you're stuck with the third. The chance of getting the highest number is one in three. Or is it? Is there a strategy by which you can improve the odds?  

[Kazenge]

Not true, I didn't get the scale one. Also, The best odds are 1 in 3 due to lack of information. If they can be any number, then it would be impossible to create a plan to increase the odds.  

[Lightwater2520]

nope, there's a strategy to improve your odds.  

[Kazenge]

Ok... Umm... I guess flip over the first one, discard it. Look at the second one. If it's higher than keep it. If not higher take the third one? I reckon you would still lose most of the time, but I think it increases the odds.

Correct, and your odds raise to 1/2 rather than 1/3.
A. 1+2+3=lose
B. 2+1+3=win
C. 3+1+2=lose
D. 3+2+1=lose
E. 2+3+1=win
F. 1+3+2=win

This comes from the days of knights and kings and fair maidens. Turns out that the fair maiden Rowena wishes to wed. Her father, the evil king, has devised a way to drive to drive off suitors. He has a quiz for the suitors, and here it is. It's very simple. There are three boxes on the table, OK? One is made of gold. One is made of silver. And the third is made of lead. Inside one of these boxes is a picture of the fair Rowena and it is the job of the knight is to figure out which-without opening them, of course- has her picture. Now, to assist him in this endeavor there are inscriptions on each of the boxes. The gold box says "Rowena's picture is in this box." The silver box says "The picture ain't in this box." The lead box says, "The picture ain't in the gold box." one of the statements, and only one, is true. If the knight just opens the box with the picture, he gets the girl. The question is: Where's the picture? I repeat, one, and only one, of the statements is true.  

[Kazenge]

The lead box. The silver one is the true one. By saying it's not in this box, it couldn't be fake because it would be contradicting itself. So that leaves the gold and the lead. Well if we have ruled out the silver one is the true one, then the gold one must be wrong, and the lead one is wrong by saying it's not in the gold box, but it doesn't say silver box, so that is wrong. Therefor the lead box is the one with the picture. If that's incorrect then there goes my best answer.

[Kazenge]

Mark was the pastor who married them.
