*scratches head* Well...I don't know the answer to Divena's... sweatdrop
but I do have my own ones that we can add to the growing pot of riddles.
A man is sentenced to die. The executioner tells him that if he tells the truth, he will be drowned. If he tells a lie, he will be hung. What can the man say to avoid being killed?
There is an exclusive club on the edge of town. In order to gain access, one must talk to the bouncer in front of the door and say the password. A man who isn't a member hides in a bush near the door hoping to overhear the password. He sees a member walk up to the bouncer. The bouncer says, "Six." The member replies, "Three." The bouncer lets him in. As another member comes along the bouncer says, "Twelve." The member replies, "Six" and the bouncer lets her in. Our non-member gets out of the bush and walks up to the bouncer. The bouncer says, "Ten." The non-member replies, "Five." He is promptly shoved away from door. Why didn't he get inside? (HINT: The key is in the password.)

For the first one, there is a way he can get out of it...and staying mute won't work.
As for the second...right reason, wrong answer.
