My favorite riddle was the last one, number 16.WINNER - CheezyFry!!

This is an unusual paragraph. I'm curious as to just how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it. It looks so ordinary and plain that you would think nothing was wrong with it. In fact, nothing is wrong with it! It is highly unusual though. Study it and think about it, but you still may not find anything odd. But if you work at it a bit, you might find out. Try to do so without any coaching! (Answer: The letter "e", the most common letter in the English language, does not appear even once in the paragraph).

Q13. There are 10 sacks of coins. Each sack has 100 coins in it. Every coin weighs 10 pounds, however in one of the sacks the coins are fake and each coin weighs 5 pounds. The tools you have are a very exact scale and you are only allowed to use it once to find out which sack the fake coins are... How do you find out which stack has the fakes?
A13. Put the bags in order from 1-10... 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 in a row.. Now from the first bag take one coin, from the second bag take two coins, from the third bag take three coins, from the fourth bag take four coins,from the fifth bag take five coins,from the sixth bag take six coins,from the seventh bag take seven coins, from the eighth bag take eight coins, from the ninth bag take nine coins,from the tenth bag take ten coins, Thus total number of coins taken is 55. Now weigh them on the scale. If all the coins were of 10 pounds the weight would have been 550 pounds, but since one bag contains fake (5lb) coins the weight would be less than 550 pounds. Now if the weight is 545 pounds, that is 5 pounds less then the first bag contains fake coins,If the weight is 540 pounds,that is 10 pounds less then the second bag contains fake coins, if the weight is 535 pounds, that is 15 pounds less then the third bag contains fake coins, and so on.
