Re: Riddles!
There once was a mighty universe king. His name was King Universe. King Universe was king of all know galaxy's and he had two sons. One of them would one day inheret his thrown. The fact that one day one of his sons would take his thrown worried him since his sons never acted responsible. All they did was party at intergalactic events and conseive children with alien partners. They never studied ,they knew nothing about the people that they would once lead and they threw away valuable resources such as metal and eonium carelessly. They were not worthy of his thrown!
The king got sick and he knew his last day would come very soon, so he made up a plan to make his sons more educated and responsible. He gave them both a harpy and told them: "Go out and see the universe and learn from our people. The one who's ship returns last will get my thrown!"
The king died and his 2 sons set out with their ships into the universe to learn from its people because both of them wanted to become the new King Universe really badly. They worked hard and learned multiple languages. They learned about different cultures and even tried to solve disputes between alliances. Years and years went by and they grew older. After 32 years they both felt they had learned almost everything they needed to know to become the worthy new king. The minister of communication had ruled long enough now and this could go on till the day they would die and that would suck so they needed to figure out a way to become the new king. Both of them heard about the most wisest man of all in some village. So both sons decided, by coincidense at the same time, to head for that man.
They arrived at the village of the wisest man of all and saw eachoter again. They said eachoter hello and went into the wise mans house. they explained what their father told them and what they both did the last couple of years. After a few minutes both of the sons came out again, got into the ships and headed home as fast as they could!
What did the wise man say to them?

hehe, i liked that one!
ok , next (this is a question i got at my application):
You drive a lap with your car with 60 km/h , how hard would you have to drive the second exact same lap to get an average speed of 120 km/h?
If you figure this one out try the next one asswell:
you got a scale with nine weights. all weights weigh exactly the same except for one, but you dont know if its lighter or heavier.
You may choose the starting positions of the weights and then switch 2 times a weight for another weight to find out which weight is lighter or heavier.
how do you proceed?

That high average isn't possible anymore. Those both laps should have been already driven at the same time the first one ended.

If the track is 360km, then he spent 6h going 60km/h. If you drive the second lap at 180km/h, then that lap takes another 2h, giving you an average speed of (360km+360km)/(6h+2h) = 720km/8h = 90km/h
To double your average speed, you need to drive 720km in 6 hours. Since you've already spent 6 hours driving 360km, there is no way you're realistically going to manage that, as you'd need to drive the remaining 360km instantly, at infinite speed.
I'm not sure if relativity aids your efforts or works against them, you'd need someone with more knowledge of modern physics to answer that. In any case, there is no vehicle on earth that can pull it off.

Re: Riddles!
Old riddle (may be too easy):
You're in a room and there is a door into another room and three light switches beside the door. There are three lamps in the other room which can be turned on using the switches in the first room. How do you figure out which switch controls which lamp? You can open the door only once and you can't touch the switches after that.
(also you don't see any light when the door is closed, and you can't touch the wiring)

Re: Riddles!
You're on a game show, and you're given the choice of three doors. Behind one door there is a car. And there is a goat behind the other two doors. You pick a door, and the host, who knows what's behind the doors, opens another door, which has a goat. He then says you can switch your choise. Is it to your advantage to switch your choice?

Turn two switches on, wait for 15 minutes, turn one off, go inside. The turned on lamp corresponds to the turned on switch. Touch the two turned off bulbs, the warm one is the switch you just turned off.
