I know I have not been active lately, but I have ben inspired to hold a contest.

I saw this on facebook www.facebook.com/abcnews/posts…; Apparently there is a riddle going around, and people who get it wrong have to change thier fb profile pic into a giraffe.  The riddle is as follows:
 
"3:00 am, the doorbell rings and you wake up. Unexpected visitors, It's your parents and they are there for breakfast. You have strawberry jam, honey, wine, bread and cheese. What is the first thing you open?"

I knew the answer as soon as I read it; the article didn't have the answer in it, but I know I am right.  I think it is pretty funny actually, especially since so many people have missed it.

The point is, most riddles out there are way too easy, so here is the contest:

Whoever can find or make up the best, most interesting and baffling riddle(s) wins.  (But you have to get the giraffe riddle right also.)  I want to see the best riddles that are out there.

Rules:
:bulletred: No NSFW content
:bulletred: No derogatroy terms
:bulletred: No overused riddles like the riddle of the sphynx, or the one about the two birds and the doors to heaven and hell.
:bulletgreen: It has to make sense
:bulletgreen: You can enter as many as you like.
:bulletgreen: Must be watching me to win.


Prizes:

:bulletblue: 1st place: 111 points, a lama, a sketch, and a feature on my page.
:bulletblue: 2nd place: 42 points, a llama, and a feature on my page.
:bulletblue: 3rd place: 12 points, a llama, and a feature on my page.
:bulletblue: 4th place: 5 points, a llama and a feature on my page.
:bulletblue: 5th place: a llama, and a feature on my page
:bulletblue: 2 random entries: 5 points

To enter, message me your answer for the giraffe riddle; I will reply to tell you if you got it right, and then you can comment your riddle here.  (If you don't message me the answer for the giraffe riddle first, it doesn't count.)

Good Luck and let's all have fun stumping each other.  Feel free to attempt to answer other peoples' riddles in the comments, but please don't spoil the giraffe riddle there, and please don't google the answer; that defeats the purpose.

*Must reach at least 20 entires for points prizes*

Deadline 11/12/13 at 14:15    (may extend to 12/31/13 at 11:11pm if number of participants isn't reached)

Update: extended to 12/31/13 midnight

I found this one here (www.scaryforkids.com/ (I didn't give the full address since the answers are on the page, if you want it you can note me)):

A married couple flew to Florida on holiday. They booked into a nice hotel. During the vacation, the husband was murdered. The police searched the couple's hotel room and found a camera, a plane ticket, and a bottle of sun-tan lotion. The police immediately arrest the wife. How did they know she murdered her husband?
