Darn. Twenty minutes too late.

 

[paceboys]

Sorry for not updating internet wasnt working, and he was right both times

 

[Alkatraz]

I think this means I come up with a new riddle?

The man who built it doesnt want it, the man who bought doesnt need it, the man who needs it doesnt know it. What is it?

I think paceboys was talking about @shadowdragoon66's two answers, but I have a feeling you were correct, anyhow.

Tagged Shadow just in case, though.

Alk, its either like, counterfeit money or maybe a coffin?
EDIT AGAIN: after thinking about it more, its a coffin

Aye, you've got it. :)

 

[paceboys]

I have a large empty money box, 10 inches square and 12 inches tall. Roughly how many pennies can I place in my empty money box?

 

[ealev]

None, it's an empty box.

This doesn't sound right, but oh well. :c

 

[paceboys]

It was 1, but its a weird riddle my friend told me and it makes more sense if its none.
Go ahead with your riddle :D

 

[ealev]

A man hijacks an aeroplane transporting both passengers(8 of them) and valuable cargo. After taking the cargo, the man demands nine parachutes, puts one of them on, and jumps, leaving the other eight behind. Why did he want nine?​

This is a really hard one. :3

 

[Mooglie]

Put the valuable cargo in the other parachutes? No idea xD

 

[Duffie]

Maybe he wanted 8 parachutes for the 8 passengers, each to hold a set of cargo as they jump off of the plane?

 

[Silvuss]

He had 8 imaginary friends?

 

[zezmi]

He had 8 imaginary friends?

yea, that has to be it!

 

[ealev]

None of them are correct, and Duffie was closest.

 

[balloon98]

the other passengers are secretly his accomplices.

Does this mean the man who hijacked the plane was one of the passengers?...
If so... then there would be 8 parachutes left...
Perhaps... 7 of those parachutes are for the other passengers (since the riddle does say he took the cargo).
And maybe one of those parachutes are FOR THE PLANE?!?!?!?!?!?!? He's secretly saving the plane.

HUZZAH FOR HIJACKERS TRYING TO SAVE THE PLANE!....

I'm kidding.

Anyways, what does the "Why did he want eight" part mean in the riddle. I don't get it. Didn't he ask for nine? Shouldn't that say "Why did he want nine parachutes?" Just curious.

((Also: I'm strangely getting a Pink Panther vibe from this))

Duffie's answer + balloon98's answer = My answer.
Which means, the 8 passengers are his accomplices, and they were to bring the cargo with them!
Am I right? I'm pretty sure I got it?

 

[shadowdragoon66]

Assuming the 8 passengers included the hijacker, he asked for 9 parachutes instead of 8 so that he can fool the police into thinking he forgot a parachute when he jumped and the end result was this:



EDIT: It just dawned on me after a while as to what the answer is. The other parachute is for the PILOT. Technically he isn't considered a passenger but the pilot on a passenger manifest.

Although this isn't right, I'll change it to asking for 9 parachutes, that makes more sense.

No one has gotten it yet, but I'll tell you this; the passengers aren't accomplices of any kind. Good luck!

The passengers thought he'd be taking hostages (the guy is a hijacker after all) so they had no choice but to give him working parachutes out of fear? If he asked for just one, they could have given him a broken parachute so he'd go splat on the ground.

Winrar.

What crime can you get arrested for if you attempt it, but not if you commit it?

 

[Baker93]

Suicide.
