Two wise men of chelm are discussing a math problem. If it it takes me 2 hours to get to pisnk with 1 horse, isin't it right that if i use 2 horses it will take me 1 hour?
"True, true" agrees his friend.
Then isin't it right that if I use 4 horses I should get to Pisnk is no time at all?
Knowing that they are wise men of Chelm, What will person number 2 respond?

Chelm has built a new shul, everything is done except for the floors. knowing chelm a discussion builds up. Chiam the tailor says the floors must be smooth, after all when they dance in stocking feet they don't want to get splinters.
"No No " counters Yossie the baker "If the floors are smooth then we will be sliping around when we dance on Simchat torah with the torah, Someone is bound to drop one.......no the floors most be rough so we won't slip.
As always happens a whole rift bulds up in chelm the smooth floor supporters won't talk to the rough floor supporters and even the children on one side wouldn't play with the other sides children.
The issue soon comes before the rabbi. Kbnowing the rabbi of chelm, what will the anwser be?

"Both sides are right, there for the floor boards will be dubble sided, one rough and the other smooth, a person will the assigned to turn the floor boards to the rough side when needed and the smooth side when needed.

I feel like we are straying from riddles into just Chelm jokes......
Here's both:
Tevye the peddler travels to Pinsk to peddle his wares. It is a long and tiresome journey. He muddles through and enters the shul there. He practically sleeps through the service.
A nice rabbi there sees Tevye and decides to see if he can cheer him up with a riddle: " I am my father's son, but I am not my brother. Who am I?"
The answer is "Me!"
Tevye is excited by the riddle. When he returns to Chelm he ecstatically tells the riddle to the sages, who can't fathom it and ask him the answer. What is the answer, based on how Chelmites think?

One time out of the many times the jews have been prosecuted. A anti-semetic man accused a town of jews of one false crime or another. the anti-semite brought the rabbi of the town before an anti-semetic judge. The rabbi gave a strong argument but the judge would not allow the rabbi to win the case. finally, the judge gives the rabbi a deal "I will put two pieces of paper in a jar one blank and the other with guilty written on it, you will draw one out, if it is blank you will be let go, it is has guilty written on it the entire town will die." the rabbi has no choice but to take this option. knowing that the judge if corrupt and will write guilty on both of them, what should the rabbi do to save the town from being killed?
