I love riddles! If you have one or an answer for one I'd love to hear it.

Hum...I do not know the awnser (the riddle isn't mine) but I will try:
Are you Oxigen?

I have a riddle for you too:
A man goes to the market with 100 Euro and he has to buy exactly 100 animals.
He has to buy ckickens, shrimps and pigs and he has to buy at least one of each of them.
the prize for one chicken is 1 Euro
one shrimp costs 0,25 Euro
the prize for a pig is 15 Euro
How many chickens, shrimps and pigs will he buy?

When they split up the squares, the diagonals don't really quite match, thus when rearranged, you end up with another square. If you did this on a large scale, you'd probably notice the squares that are sliced up would be slightly smaller than the original squares. (You can notice here that the lines don't quite match up).

A lighter, as in a device that is used to make fire?
ehm... I can think of some things, but I don't think a big chunk of pure Sodium (Na) would count.  |
