So I saw the riddle section being lonely, and that we would be on riddle ten, so I decided I had a good one, which I assume will be gotten on the first try, as per my past history here, and also since it should be very easy seeing as how this one was given to me in like third grade. I will make it slightly harder though since I will only give the words of it....
How can you fit ten horses into nine stalls? You can not cut a horse in half, thirds, etc, or vary the size of the stalls, or anything like that. Just think simple.

That was my best attempt at drawing stables... You'd write the words ten and horses into the 9 stables, instead of placing actual horses in them.

Yup, I was thinking of drawing the stables at first, but then I decided it might make it be slightly harder if I did not, but of course it did not make it any harder, but oh well.

I don't remember where I first saw that riddle. I believe it was in my MENSA book, oh wow just talking about it makes me feel nerdy inside. Maybe I'll take it out again to give you guys a hard riddle  |

Well as long as the answer to them is either 12 or purple spider monkey dishwasher then bring them on.

That should be easy, at least half of the riddles I can think of have answers about purple spider monkey dishwashers. Like for instance this tricky one.
What do you use to wash a purple spider monkey?
Or...
If there was a dishwasher and it didn't wash blue, green or yellow spider monkeys, what would it be called?
Or...
to combine the two most popular answers...
If you had 1 dishwasher that washed purple spider monkeys, how many purple spider monkeys could you wash in 12 cycles?
I'm obviously stalling from writing my paper and studying for my test... sorry I got carried away.

Fun stuff, we need more riddles like those, although I think your dishwasher is technically a clothes dryer, but seeing as how it is cool I think we will let it stand. I also think it would look really good put into the photoshop tennis game.....

I realized it looked like a dryer as soon I posted it, but I was so proud I just couldn't help myself.

I am not hating, I think your skills are atleast on par with my awesome contribution to the photoshop tennis of my crazy mace wielding stick figure man....

I think that stick figured man had my monkey from the beginning.
1) He was not copied from other online images
2) He actually represented a stick person, whereas mine represented a dishwasher with a clothes dryer
3) He generally rocked

You forget that the washer can release its monkey, which is pissed obviously, so while my man is fighting it the dishwasher can eat him, thus making the crazy mace wielding stick figure man and half beaten purple monkey dishwasher....OF TOTAL DEVASTATION (The last part is from the Brak Show and fit here really well).

I think that answer would be much harder to find in any given riddle. Far less common than the number 12 for sure.
On a side note, I wish you could just end every sentence ever written with the words, "OF TOTAL DEVASTATION!" I've never seen that show but it's a pretty awesome phrase.
As in...
"Today I went to the store and bought some cereal OF TOTAL DEVASTATION!"
"Once when I was little I bought my mom a pretty necklace OF TOTAL DEVASTATION!"
"I like italian food, especially sphagetti OF TOTAL DEVASTATION!"
I could go on... but you get the picture

It is a very diverse phrase indeed. In the show it was added as a description for a lightswitch. There are other things as well in the scene. Basically it is the character Brak talking to his nextdoor neighbor who is a huge robot made for battle and Brak is going to watch the robots gold fish. So along the way to where the fish is kept he sees things such as the battlesphere of doom, missiles of unmentionable power, and of course the final lightswitch OF TOTAL DEVISTATION!!!!
