Math Riddle 1:
X is an odd number. Take an alphabet away from X and it becomes even. Which is that number?

Seven (Seven-S=Even)
Math Riddle 2:
Using only addition, how can you add eight 8s to get the number 1,000?
ANSWER:
888+88+8+8+8=1000
Math Riddle 3:
What single digit appears most frequently between and including the numbers 1 and 1,000? Hint: look for a pattern!
ANSWER:
The most common digit is 1! Every number 1-9 appears precisely the same number of times in every ten numbers. But because we included the number 1,000, there’s an extra occurrence of the number 1. In total, the number 1 appears 301 times, and every other number appears 300 times.
Math Riddle 4:
If a hen and a half lay an egg and a half in a day and a half, how many eggs will half a dozen hens lay in half a dozen days?
ANSWER:
Two dozen. If you increase both the number of hens and the amount of time available four-fold (i.e., 1.5 times 4 equals 6), the number of eggs increases 16 times. 16 x 1.5 = 24.
Math Riddle 5:
If you buy a rooster for the purpose of laying eggs and you expect to get three eggs each day for breakfast, how many eggs will you have after three weeks?
ANSWER:
Zero, roosters do not lay eggs. (We already told you this one would be a prank riddle!)
