3:Two cops walked into a room with no windows and found a dead man who obviously hung himself from the ceiling, though they couldn't figure out how. There was no chair beneath him that he might have jumped off of, or a table. Just a puddle of water. How'd he do it?
4:A man dies of thirst in his own home. Hows is this possible?
5:A horse is tied to a 15 ft. rope and there is a bail of hay 25 ft. away from him. Yet the horse is able to eat from the bail of hay. How is this possible?
The third one's easy. Man stood on a block of ice with noose around neck. When ice melted, he was left hanging. Hence, the puddle of water. I'll have to think about the other four.

1. Some sort of chronograph?
2. The power went out. She was on a life support device.
4. Seems like there are lots of ways. For example, he could be an invalid in a remote location and his well goes dry.
5. The other end of the rope is not tied to anything.

5. The horse was on the far side of the circle which would have a 30 ft diameter.

I think mmrkr is right on No. 5. You said horse was tied to rope. Didn't say rope was tied to anything.

1. Hands question - Appears on a clock with a 2nd timezone
2. Its the ballerina from a jewelery box. When you close the box the music stops and the dolls stops moving.
3. Definately an ice-block under his feet - Slow way to go though!
4. There's a few ideas mentioned so far. I think the boat one is quite a good answer
5. 2nd end unsecured.
They do say that the old ones are the best!!

I thought of that, too, biz. But that's an awfully small horse!

While we're discussing horses, I've got another answer to number 5!
The horse measures 10ft from mouth to the middle of his/her tail. The rope is attached to the middle of the tail, so the horse can just about reach!
But then it is a very large horse

Re: Riddles
1. is a watch on somebodies hand.
2. no one got this. The woman is a blindfolded tightrope walker at a circus. The music ended a little early, and she knew that she reached the ends, so she lost balance and fell to her death.
