There is a word in the English language in which the first two letters signify a male, the first three letters signify a female, the first four signify a great man, and the whole word a great woman. What is the word?

Heroine

Edit - dang 2 seconds too slow!

Beware Miss Herobrine....

Sheep eggs, sounds suspicious.
Is it perhaps because one sheeperson also took the basket, the greedy sod.

Here's a nice one:

A census taker knocks on a man's door and asks if he has children.
"I have three children" the man says.
The census taker then asks: "How old are they?"
The man, being a keen mathematician replies: "The product of their ages is 72, and the sum of their ages is the same as my door number"
"Don't be ridiculous" says the census taker, "I can't figure out their ages from that"
"Oh right" replies the man "I forgot to mention that my eldest daughter likes chocolate"

The census taker then writes down the ages of the tree children.

How old are the three children, and why?

So the possible ages for 3 children that have a product of 72 is as follows (with their sum in parentheses):
1 1 72 (74)
1 2 36 (39)
1 3 24 (28)
1 4 18 (23)
1 6 12 (19)
1 8 9 (18)
2 2 18 (22)
2 3 12 (17)
2 4 9 (15)
2 6 6 (14) <--
3 3 8 (14) <--
3 4 6 (13)
Since the census taker was not able to figure out the ages even knowing the sum, then the sum must be 14 since there are 2 combinations that add to 14 (3,3,8) and (2,6,6). Finally, indicating that the oldest loves chocolate means that there's one oldest child, so the ages of the children are 3, 3, and 8

Indeed! Give us a challenge then.

A farmer is taking a fox, a chicken, and a bag of grain home. To get there, he must cross a river, but he's only allowed to take one item across the bridge with them at a time. If the fox is left alone with the chicken, the fox will eat the chicken. If the chicken is left alone with the grain, the chicken will eat the grain. How can the farmer cross the river without any of his possessions being eaten?

You put the chicken to the other side, go back, put the fox to there and take the chicken with you. You put the chicken to the first place and take the grain to the other side, come back, and get the chicken.

You're a farmer who's taking today's harvest over to town to sell at the market. The road has recently been re-made and there's a fork in the road. You're not quite sure which way to go. Two men stand by the road, there's one on the right, and there's one on the left. One of the men always tells lies, while the other always tells the truth. The market will be closing soon so you only have enough time to ask one of the men one question, and you have to be absolutely sure that you're heading the correct way. What question do you ask?

@NutjobBob @TheDunmerRaven Why is a raven like a writing desk?

(can't believe I took this long to think to post this)

can i answer this
even though it might not be the correct or accepted answer

@Beedobi can i answer this
even though it might not be the correct or accepted answer

Absolutely, don't leave us hanging.

A raven is like a writing desk because Poe wrote on both

If you don't get it, he wrote his work using a writing desk and also wrote the story "The Raven"

I vaguely remember reading this in a book back in school. I just remember part of it was academic or something. Ie, it was hard to answer then, probably even harder now given that no one reads old books.

Quothe the Raven...Nevermore!

Here's one, it might be obvious...
What gets shorter as it gets longer?

@Beedobi A raven is like a writing desk because Poe wrote on both

That's a great answer, and sort of right

@Valgys I vaguely remember reading this in a book back in school. I just remember part of it was academic or something. Ie, it was hard to answer then, probably even harder now given that no one reads old books.

You're right, this is from Alice in Wonderland (which I read last year).

Anyone else have an answer or shall I put you all out of your misery?

@BoneChi11er Here's one, it might be obvious...
What gets shorter as it gets longer?

Life... The longer you live the sooner you die.

@_Confederacy_ Life... The longer you live the sooner you die.

Gg. I better step up my game

I guess that means I'm next...

What tool gets sharper the more you use it?
(Should be obvious)

@argonFiles Your mind

Yes :P

Anotha one.

A man lives on the 50th floor of a building. When coming home from work, he uses the elevator to get to the 15th floor and then uses the stairs to climb up to the 50th floor.
Why is this?

Is it because he can't reach the buttons?

That could count as an answer but it doesn't fully explain why he can't so I need another answer.

Well, I'm assuming the man is short, and therefore can only reach the elevator buttons up to 15. So he gets off at 15 and walks the rest of the way.

what if hes short, near sighted, and doesnt like his glasses so he can only see up to button 15 which means that he has to walk after that

Uhmm yeah. It was a stupid riddle.
The person was a midget.
