I'll start:
A, 3 guys walk into a hotel. They buy a room for the night for $30. The boss says to the clerk the room's only meant to be $25. So the clerk takes $5 out of the till and start walking to the room. But he thinks, and he reasons you can't share $5 between 3 people. So he gives each guy a dollar each and puts $2 in his pocket. So now all the guys have paid $9 each. 9x3=27. And the $2 in the clerk's pocket makes $29 all together. So where did the other dollar go?
This WILL be fun. This is a well known internet one, so I'm hoping someone'll get it soon.

Never heard of it before, but I love math and riddles!
Err... Well, the hotel got 25 dollars. The men got 3 back, and the clerk dude got 2. So that's 30 dollars. (The clerk stole 2 dollars out of the 27. I think)
Decapitate me and all becomes equal. Then truncate me and I become second. Cut me front and back and I become two less than I started.
What am I?

Your correct! Most people get stuck on the 9x3=27 bit, which is actually irrelevant but your mind doesn't register that. So congrads!
My first thought is an earthworm for your riddle. Its probably inncorrect, but worth a shot.
Next riddle: This is a bit of a lateral thinker.
A man is dead, hanging from a beam 20ft off the floor in a barn 10 miles south of Jerusalem. There's no one else about. Below him is a puddle. He couldn't climb up to the beam, its too high. So how did he kill himself?

Hmm.... Was there some kind of a block of ice that he stood on and hung himself?
It's actually the number 7, but interesting thought!
Seven=> even=equal
Eve--> second person
V= Roman numeral 5= 2 less than 7

You're obviously better than me at this. You got my second one right as well! Darn. Now I need a new one...
A man is blind. He goes for surgery one day, and his eyesight is fixed. He gets the train back from the surgery, with the blindfold still on. he has been told not to take the blindfold off until he is home. He decideds he should take his blindfold off, to see if it has worked. He takes it off, and then jumps off the train to his death. The operation was successful, and the blind man could see. So why did he jump?

Behatzlacha-S The operation was successful, and the blind man could see. So why did he jump? I'm gonna go with... he was in a tunnel and thought he was still blind because he couldn't see. A man is building a house, he calculated all the bricks needed to build his house up from the foundation to the roof. When he was finished, he had one brick left over... so he took the brick and threw it up in the air... the brick traveled a long long distance before coming down on the other side of town. Get it? No? Well... Ok, I'm still working on that one, next joke plz?

Boh of you are correct, so you get a cookie each! They were passing through a tunnel as he took off his blindfold.
YAY! Everyone has 100% but me!
LordNeuf: So what are we working out wit yours exactly?
Now: A man is dead in a field. He is completely naked. Next to him is an unopened package. How did he die?

Huh. The naked part is confusing me. Normally I'd conjecture a parachute or something, but then why would he not have clothes? I guess he could have been getting dressed and pushed off a cliff, but that seems far too abstract to be an actual answer....

man, this is hard, and I'm not good in riddles...
Let's see: He is in the feild so it's far from the city and a hard chance he had been killed by someone rather then a bandit or some psycho. You didn't mantion he is wounded and the package is still unpoen so it's not a bandit. And he is naked...
He didn't get murded!
well, that's how far I can get by now.

You have something, darkpheonix, but the cliff part is incorrect.
You can't REALLY call it a murder, either.

Hm... Well, I'll keep with the parachute then, but the only way I can think of him being naked is if he forgot to get dressed. I highly doubt his clothes would fall off in midair.
I'll keep thinking....

You're on the right track with a parachute.
