While we're waiting to find out about the box with golden treasure, here's another one:
What is black when you buy it, red when you use it, and gray when you throw it away?

Is the box, an unusal box, say an egg with the golden treasure being the yolk?
Black , red and grey, is it a newspaper?

Ok all you smarty pantses out there, yes, yes, "the special box without hinges or lid..." is an egg!  Maxi had me stumped on that one for a time, having gotten it from JRR Tolkien, which Mama had forgotten. KIDS! Jeepers, I got many PM's on that one! Merme

Hi Michelle ~ Geez, that's what I was wondering too, if it was something to burn but I couldn't think of anything that is specifically black before it is burned. Truthfully, I am having a hard time thinking of anything black at all tonight!  Seems I have got a headful of other colors tonight. Merme

Michelle- You're very close! It is something you burn.... Think about, oh I dunno, BBQ chicken, a fat juicy steak, a burger or a hot dog. Is that a good enough hint?
(BTW, I know the answer to the one you posted, but won't give it away.)

[QB] What is greater than God, The poor have it, and the rich don't want it?[QB]
Okay, since no one is jumping in on this one, I'm gonna answer it. Nothing! Okay, here's one: What happened in 1961 that will not happen again for over 4000 years?

I got it
The year's date reads the same when turned upside down. That will not happen again until 6009.

That's it, ladies! And Sunnydaze has to get extra credit for saying WHEN it will happen again!
Next one:
A man wanted to enter an exclusive club but did not know the password that was required. He waited by the door and listened. A club member knocked on the door and the doorman said, "twelve." The member replied, "six " and was let in. A second member came to the door and the doorman said, "six." The member replied, "three" and was let in. The man thought he had heard enough and walked up to the door. The doorman said ,"ten" and the man replied, "five." But he was not let in. What should have he said?

A man is lying dead in a field. Next to him there is an unopened package. There is no other creature in the field. How did he die?

It's the right answer. Sorry took so long, had a baby shower to go to today.
Okay, the man in the field... the package isn't a parachute, right?
