The answer I've always heard was 7/.7x7/.7=100, so in this case I don't think they're worried about the zero.

aka you've already solved it, don't hurt your brain further lol

[Khamsin]

That's cheating, though, because the 0 in 0.77 is a significant digit and can't be ignored.

[Norellicus]

/shrug, I suppose. Arithmetic doesn't demand we write it out though, .7 is acceptable language.

New one!

I am greater than God, and more evil than the devil. Poor people have me. Rich people want me. And if you eat me, you'll die.

Eltan wins a cookie.

Suppose you put a coin into an empty bottle and then insert a cork in the bottle's opening. How could you retrieve the coin without breaking the bottle or pulling out the cork?

Spoiler: show

Push the cork all the way into the bottle then get the coin out of the opening.

Old but famous riddle:

"Think of words ending in -GRY. Angry and hungry are two of them. There are only three words in the English language. What is the third word? The word is something that everyone uses every day. If you have listened carefully, I have already told you what it is."

Riddles like this suck. The answer is 'laguage'.

A man was found murdered on Sunday morning. His wife immediately called the police. The police questioned the wife and staff and got these alibis:
The Wife said she was sleeping.
The Cook was cooking breakfast.
The Gardener was picking vegetables.
The Maid was getting the mail.
The Butler was cleaning the closet.

The police instantly arrested the murdered. Who did it and how did they know?

Technically you didn't say who it was though. =P

This one took me a bit to figure out:

Two grandmothers, with their two granddaughters;
Two husbands, with their two wives;
Two fathers, with their two daughters;
Two mothers, with their two sons;
Two maidens, with their two mothers;
Two sisters, with their two brothers;
Yet only six in all lie buried here;
All born legitimate, from incest clear

[Waef]

6 are dead! The rest aren't!?
