Moses didn't bring any animals onto the ark. He did the water trick. You'd be suprised at how many people get that wrong. *cough*Ryuu*cough* Trust me, I am not the person to ask about biblical stuff. Haha. ...who was the Ark guy anyway?

Exactly one of these statements is false etc... And there's a difference between exactly and at least...

Yeah, it was a different answer, but I was thinking that...
Ok then, the other one:
1. Exactly one of these ten statements is false. 2. Exactly two of these ten statements are false. 3. Exactly three of these ten statements are false. 4. Exactly four of these ten statements are false. 5. Exactly five of these ten statements are false. 6. Exactly six of these ten statements are false. 7. Exactly seven of these ten statements are false. 8. Exactly eight of these ten statements are false. 9. Exactly nine of these ten statements are false. 10. Exactly ten of these ten statements are false.
Which one is true?

I'd say number nine. :3 Just 'cause... it makes sense with Ari's logic. XD If nine of them were false, (1 through 8 and then number 10) then that would leave only number nine to be true. And number nine states that nine statements are false. XD It's probably wrong. But oh well~

No, its right XD
Ok, I've seen this one, but I don't feel like finding it again, so I hope I get all the important details right >.<:
Three friends are on vacation, and they need a room at a hotel to stay for the night. The hotel manager tells them that he only has one room left, and it costs $30. The three friends agree to have the room, and they all pay $10 each.
Later that night, the hotel manager realizes he over charges them, and that the room should only cost $25. He gives the room service man 5 ones to bring the three friends as a refund. On the way to the room, the man knew he couldn't split $5 evenly between 3 people. To solve the problem, he puts $2 in his pocket, and give each man 1 dollar back.
In the end, each man paid $9, and the room service man kept two dollars. But $27 + $2 = $29, whereas the room originally cost $30! Where did the other dollar go?

The answer to this one is that the logic is messed up.
The room originally cost $30, but what it was supposed to cost was $25. When the room service man returned $3 the cost of the room became $27 because the extra $2 remained in his pocket. 27-2=25. To answer the specific question of the riddle, the 'other dollar' was simply left out of the equation(it should be $27 + $3 = $30 with the $3 being what was given back to the three friends)
A 'continuation' of the Forest People riddle:
Lying Defeeted (John Banks)
After being the ruler of the forest people for a while, you get bored. So you visit an island on which two tribes of natives live. One tribe has purple soles and always lies; the other tribe has green soles and always tells the truth. There are three natives standing near you. You can't see the bottoms of their feet, and indeed you find out it is rude to look at another's soles, but you are curious so you ask the first man,
"Sir, what color are your soles?" Now he happens to understand English, but he can't speak it, so he replies in his native tongue, "Glub Glub". Though you don't speak the language, you know that "Glub Glub" either means purple or green.
You turn to the second man and ask, "Sir, what did he say?" The second man replies, "He said he has green soles."
Now to be sure, you turn to the third and ask, "Sir, what color of soles does this second man have?" The third man replies, "Sir, he has purple soles."
Now the question is, what color of soles does the third native have?

(don't read if you want to find out yourself.) (no, i didn't know this before hand XD)
The third man had puple soles
To figure it out, we have to eliminate the possibility that he had green soles. If he had green soles, he told the truth, meaning the second person had purple soles. Because puple means lying, the second man, saying "He said he has green soles" was lying, and the first man actually said "I have Purple soles." However, him saying that is impossible. If he had purple soles, he would lie, and say he had green soles, and if he had green soles, he would tell the truth, and say he had green soles. So the original factor that the third man told the truth, is not true.
The third man had purple soles, so when he said " He has purple soles", it means the second man had green soles. The second man said the first man had green soles. Now, there is no contradictions.
I'm good at these XD

So. There's this guy. I can't remember his name, so we're going to call him Bob. Just 'cause.
Bob was asked to deliver an important message from one kingdom to another. He sets out on foot, hoping to reach his destination before too long. Unfortunately, he gets lost and spends 4 days and 4 nights crossing an intense desert without any water. However he manages to make it out alive. How did he manage?
...I can't remember how it goes exactly, so some of my logic might be flawed. >.< Give it a try anyway?
