Move once to the left the two words that are right,
then switch the two words that are left,
Move once to the right the word that is right,
then flip the word that is left,
Now make right the word that is right,
and the right answer's right where it's left(which is right)

Mike.......the initial idea
There is a new feature on the left side of this page, titled "Undigested Chestnuts". This is a quick way of finding out which riddles haven't been solved by anyone yet. Clicking on them will take you straight to the clicked riddle.
Become familiar with each thing that I say,
Varmints, elf ale, pet rocks, today,
When all that is alien has been taken away,
Their basic element is all that will stay.

Five friends and I, we're bound side by side,
stretched to the limit, and struck 'til we've cried.
We each have a name, in fact two are the same,
but our torturer knows, one's skinny, one's wide.

Three people were on a business trip and had to stay in a hotel over night. The price of the room was $30.00, so the group decided to split one room, three ways. Each one paid $10.00. Well after they paid, the manager realized that he/she overcharged them on their room. The room only cost $25.00, so he/she gave the bellperson five loonies to give to the three people. On his/her way up to the room the bellperson was trying to think of a way to split $5.00 three ways. After thinking about it awhile, he/she decided to keep $2.00 for himself/herself and give each person a loonie back. Now, if each person (who paid $10) gets $1 back that means they each paid $9.00 ($10 - $1 = $9 ). $9.00 multiplied by 3 (because there are three people) equals $27.00 plus the $2.00 the bellperson kept equals $29.00! What happened to the missing dollar!? What is the flaw?
I changed the original problem to a canadian non-gender specific problem :)
You have 12 pennys,one weighs slighlty less or slightly more than the others. Using an equal arm balance (kinda like a teeter totter, or a justice scale) and only making 3 weighings determine which one is different and whether it is slightly less or slightly more.

Ted at the market is a shrewd business man. He knows the exact value of anything, and knowing this, he never comes out on the bottom of a trade. For example he would never sell three loaves of bread for a basket. Nor would he sell a basket and a fish for four loaves of bread. But he would sell you two fish for a loaf of bread and a basket.
Would he sell you three fish and three loaves for four baskets?
Eight groups of four, by anatomical relations,
The task is quite simple: sort them with patience.
bottles, kites, gorillas, giraffes, the law, cars, bulls, theatres, the woods, beer, lettuce, needles, storms, trees, chickens, letters, measuring tape, chairs, pilots, mountains, arrows, clay, rabbits, alphabets, beavers, swimmers, nuts, soldiers, guitars, comets, elephants, old wives.

Carefully consider the ensembles below,
Illiteracy runs rampant, for flair or for show,
But letters forsaken, just to gratify the eyes,
combine to create, a bluff or disguise.
Pistols and flowers,
a great metal blimp,
the biggest group of bugs,
and a seamate of shrimp
The list should be five, but one could not stay,
for the fifth, by definition, is 'one turned away'.
