Really? I thought I was just joking... 
Let me see... "I Look To You"?

Close, you're missing one word, to do with "look"...

Oops! "I Look Up To You"
That's because the word look goes up! ;D

Yup! ;D
Okay, here's a good one.
Five men are outside when it starts to rain. Four of the men walk faster, but the fifth doesn't try. They all reach the same shelter at the same time, but while the four men are soaking wet, the fifth is dry. How?

Uh... because the fifth has an umbrella?
Nice riddle. Kinda strange. Strange riddles are fun.

The Umbrella could work, yet I don't see how it fits the walking clue. What about the 5th man using his car? (Then again, it brings up the question of why didn't he take the others with him?)

But she didn't say they were all together, did she? So maybe they were all in different places, which makes your guess pretty possible...

You've both gathered the fifth man is sheltered, which is good. But think, why would he be going at the same speed as the others?

He runs/jogs with an umbrella?

Post by Shale on Jan 9, 2003 11:34:15 GMT
Because he's small and light and the wind lifted him off the ground? ;D
Okay, scrap that.

What kept him dry was not an umbrella. And remember, he didn't start running or jogging or moving any faster. (He had been going at the same speed as the other four before it started to rain aswell.)

Because he's like one of those Polly Pocket toys, except he's a male... and he's in one of the four men's pockets? So the rain can't get to him and he doesn't have to walk any faster...
That made no sense...

Aha! He was a little boy and one of the other men (probably his father) carried him. And he stayed dry because he had a raincoat on...???

Good guesses. (I like the Polly Pocket idea. There are a few male ones from time to time, actually.) But this man is grown up and, er, regular sized. But there is a significant difference between him and the other men. There's a riddle Shale (Rusty, rather) posted much earlier on that would tie in to the fact he kept dry.
Eo, yes, carrying is involved, that's how they kept at the same pace. Think of why there would be four other men, not one.
