there's alot of websites with riddles, i found these to be tricky

Here on earth it is true, yesterday is always before today; but there is a place where yesterday always follows today. Where?

What starts with "e" ends with "e" and contains only one letter?

Born at the same time as the world, destined to live as long as the world, and yet never five weeks old. What is it?

A farmer and his hired help were carrying grain to the barn. The farmer carried one sack of grain and the hired help carried two sacks. Who carried the heavier load and why?

A boy was at a carnival and went to a booth where a man said to the boy, "If I write your exact weight on this piece of paper then you have to give me $50, but if I cannot, I will pay you $50."

The boy looked around and saw no scale so he agrees, thinking no matter what the carny writes he'll just say he weighs more or less.

In the end the boy ended up paying the man $50. How did the man win the bet?

Very good, those are tricky riddles; and yes there are a great many sites that can provide and answer riddles, the answer to your first is a dictionary.

Perhaps it is a bad topic, considering the available rescources.

how does something weigh 1.5 times its own weight.
if you say it weighed, 1kg, that means it actually weighs 1.5kg, which means it actually weighs 2.25kg, an so on....
