5 kids: 1 pear

cut the top fifth of the pear off. Make two cuts in the remaining section, dividing into 4 equal parts.

haha logical, but no

Lateral thinking (and alcohol) makes me think the cuts cut flesh, not fruit.

really? explain?

I'll tell you just one.

Two of the kids are conjoined twins, with two cuts (think throats) the group can be reduced to two children.

The remaining cut can divide the pear equally between them.

Knife washing is optional.

hm ..... the answer here says "cute 2 times to divide the pear into 4 equal pieces, and the 5th one, you cut the 5th kid's throat." hahaha, good job craven

3 - 1

hey send me riddle craven de kere, sounds like you know every riddle out there. well how about this:one slew twelve, yet slew none. how is that possible? and can i get your e-mail address? and anybody else out ther? its [email protected] later

Actually I didn't know this one, that's why I had to use the conjoined twins workaround when there was a simpler answer.

Your riddle is in a famous nusery rhyme or something. The answer is a raven but can any animal. The idea is that it kills someone (or in this case 12 people) through poisoning. So it kills but doesn't actually do the action of killing.

geez you're good. i'll try to get you to solve a better one.

Avoid lateral thinking ones. The best type to stump me on is an obscure mis of a language/math riddle with a low quality catch.

e.g.

What's the next number in the sequence:

15 19 3 25 19.....

The answer is 2.

And I can come up with 1000 of those riddles that nobody would be able to solve in one hour.

Thing is, an unsolveable riddle is easy to make. A good one is not necessarily unsolevable.

I like the good ones. It's not hard to stump me, but it is hard to stump me on a good one.

so are you that same guy from the site about the poems and that you're 23?

What poems? I am 23.

hey craven, you there?

"A pear is to be equally divided amongst 5 kids."

Seems like you would need a large blender.
