Who closes the door of the bus once the driver steps out?

Since when is basic bus manual operation a brain teaser? there's a metal flap beside the door (at least on Dublin bus) with a button under it for closing the door.

The landlord of the "Lion and Lamb" pub wasn't happy with the new sign he'd had made, so he asked the signmaker, "Could you put more more space between 'Lion' and 'and' and 'and' and 'Lamb?'"

Okay, this one is a bit... dark, but we'll give it a go.

They're these Japanese riddles that I saw online ages ago.

So basically there's an elevator that can hold a maximum of 12 people.

However, one morning when twelve (Average weight and height) people get onto the elevator, the thing refuses to move and complains that its passengers have exceeded the weight limit!

Why is this?

A well known TD from South tipperaray went to dail Eireann to complain about the format of the signage coming into one of the towns in his constituency
"horse And Jockey"
I need more space between Horse and and and and and Jockey

Not sure if this is a brain teaser or riddle :pac: :

A black man is walking down a narrow road. He is wearing dark clothing. The lamp posts arent switched on. Around the corner, there is a man driving a car. He is drunk. His headlights aren't on and he is driving all over the road. But when the drunk driver takes the turn he sees the black man and swerves out of the way.

How did the driver see him?

The lift was maunfactured in a country where the average weight of the eithnic population is lower than teh country it is being operated in

3 women go to a restaurant. The bill is €30. They put €10 each on the table and the waiter collects.

The cashier says there's been a mistake, the bill should've been €25 and returns 5 €1 coins to the waiter, which of course can't be divided evenly between 3. He puts €2 in his pocket and gives each lady back €1.

Now they each have €1 each, they've paid €9 each.

€9 x 3 = €27

Add the €2 the waiter has in his pocket and you have €29.............

where's the other €1 go?

So the restaurant has €25 of the €30...
The ladies each get back €1 meaning that's €28 of the €30... and finally the shnaky waiter has the €2... which is €30 of the original €30.

(heard it years ago... lol)

Nope, guess again!

They're kinda hard to get at first, unless you're in the right mindset.

Four men, Mr. Pink, Mr. Blue, Mr. Red and Mr. White enter a sauna.

Mr. Pink brings an apple in with him.

Mr. Blue brings in a thermos flask.

Mr. Red brings in his iPhone.

Mr. White brings in a coffee in a styrofoam cup.

The room is locked for half an hour after the men enter. There is no-one else in the room, and no way to get in or out.

When the door is opened after half an hour, Mr. White is found dead due to a number of stab wounds. The other three deny killing him. The police check the CCTV and confirm that no-one entered or left the room.
There's no sign of a murder weapon in the room.
Mr. Pink's apple hadn't been touched and has no sharp points on it.
Mr. Blue's flask is equally blunt, and is empty with no hidden compartments whatsoever.
Mr. Red's iPhone is also too blunt to have been used as the weapon and has nothing hidden on it.
Mr. White's coffee has also been untouched and obviously conceals no sharp objects.
None of the above objects have any traces of blood on them.

Who killed Mr. White, and how?

At least one person was already in it

Mr Blue had a shard of ice hidden in his thermos flask. He stabbed Mr White and the ice melted.
