Okay, here goes:

A man goes into a restaurant. The waiter asks for his order, and he replies, "H I J K L M N O". What does he want?

Well, he did jump the gun a bit, but his answer is essentially correct. "H I J K L M N O" are the letters H to O
:arrow: H2O :arrow: water. Of course, "distilled mineral" water is a bit of an oxymoron, since distilled water has no mineral impurities in it, and a steppe is an arid treeless grassland plain, not typically found in a mountainous area, but why nitpick? Since [player]xelabale[/player] rushed in, and you have a pretty good answer for his question (I might have said an embarassed nun), why don't you pose the next problem, [player]jonesthecurl[/player]?

ok id say a barbecue with some copper impurities in the coal so you also get the green flame.. all of the other colours you would find in it..
black for coal white for ashes and red/green/blue/yellow for flames..

Edit; so how about it the curl? yes/no/close ?

OK, that's the most logical answer so far, so you can have a go.

The answer is:
What's red and green and blue and yellow and black and white and black and red and blah blah blah?

ok, so lwta try a word-puzzle.. it works like this.. you have to find 2 letters who are missing in 2 places in a word to make it complete..
for example in b__kp__k you add ac to get backpack

since its kind of easy especially for native speakers.. but on the other hand the riddles has been kind of abstract (i'd point at [player]jonesthecurl[/player] but he is hiding) lately so ill just post 3 words..

I guess its more than 24 hours now...

A homeless man collects cigarette butts from which he makes whole cigarettes. One day he collects 64 butts. Assuming he smokes all the cigarettes he made how many cigarettes did he smoke?

You need to clarify. How many cigarette butts does it take to make 1 cigarette?

I think you at least need to tell us how many butts it takes to make a whole cigarette.

I think you at least need to tell us how many butts it takes to make a whole cigarette.

My reasoning is that if, say, he needs four butts to make one cigarette, then 64 butts becomes 16 cigarettes, which become 16 butts when he smokes them, which then become four cigarettes, which become four butts when he smokes those, which become one final cigarette, which he smokes down to a butt which he will have to save till tomorrow (if he lives that long). Therefore, that day, he smoked 16 + 4 + 1 cigarettes for a total of 21.
