here's one riddle I liked a lot when I first saw it :
10 pirates discover a treasure of 1000 gold coins.
The captain is about to decide who gets what share of the treasure.
(1 gold coin can't be divided at all.)
The pirates have a unique way to decide this.
first, they sort themselves by rank.
Then the one who has the highest rank (for now, the captain), tell the others how he would distribute the coins.
Then the other pirates vote if they agree with the distribution or not.
If the majority is against, he will be killed instead, and it'll be the next pirate's turn to offer a distribution.
Then they will vote again, etc...
If the majority agrees with it, the treasure gets distributed as offered.
The pirates value their own life the most, and then their money.
They are blood-thirsty, so if the vote is even, the highest ranked pirate will get killed too.
Also, this means that a pirate will vote against if he has no reason to vote for.
Lastly, the ranks also mean general likeability, so if a pirate hesitates at some point between several pirates for his distribution, he will give the more gold coins to the higher ranked pirates.
Every pirate is, of course, very intelligent. (that makes sense)
They think about it for a bit,then the captain tells his decision, and the majority agrees with him.
How many gold coins did the captain get for himself ?

Okay here goes my try at doraki's riddle:
the captain gets 993 gold coins for himself. He distributes the coins as follows --
#9 (second in command) gets no coins, #8 gets 1, #7 gets 2, #6 gets 0, #5 gets 1, #4 gets 2, #3 gets 0, #2 gets 0, and #1 gets 1. Everyone who got any coin voted in favor of the captain's plan and all others voted against it.
The rationale: Imagine there were only four pirates. In that case, the leader would get all 1000 coins with the support of #2 and #3 who vote in his favor to avoid being killed in the subsequent votes (they cannot possibly achieve a majority since #4 will vote against them.) Because of this we know that if there were five pirates, the proposer could win a majority by giving 0 coins to his next in command, and 1 each to the remaining three thus gaining their votes by giving them each one more coin than they would get were they to vote against. The sequence of alternatives is as follows
(rank of pirate, higher number = higher rank)->(how many coins they get)(how they voted, y=yes, n=no)
1 pirate:
pirate gets teh moneys.
Hence in the case of 2 pirates:
any proposal fails since the other pirate will vote no, kill the proposer and keep the money, satisfying both bloodlust and greed
hence 3 pirates:
any proposal fails since 1 will vote no. Pirate 3 is killed.
hence 4 pirates:
4<-1000... 3->0y, 2->0y, 1->0n
hence 5 pirates:
5<-997... 4->0n, 3->1y, 2->1y, 1->1y
hence 6 pirates:
6<-995... 5->0n, 4->1y, 3->2y, 2->2y, 1->0n
hence 7 pirates:
7<-993... 6->0n, 5->1y, 4->2y, 3->3y, 2->0n, 1->1y
hence 8 pirates:
8<-994... 7->0n, 6->1y, 5->2y, 4->0n, 3->0n, 2->1y, 1->2y
hence 9 pirates:
9<-993... 8->0n, 7->1y, 6->2y, 5->0n, 4->1y, 3->1y, 2->2y, 1->0n
hence 10 pirates:
10<-993... 9->0n, 8->1y, 7->2y, 6->0n, 5->1y, 4->2y, 3->0n, 2->0n, 1->1y
let me know if my logic is off or if you don't follow my reasoning.

here's one that's not too bad until I can remember/read/make up another harder one:
World war II saw the birth of dogfighting. England sent planes by the hundreds to battle german fighters and bombers, and many of those planes never came back. Trying to gain any edge they could in the war, england decided that its fighter planes needed better armor. So they enlisted the help of one of their engineers to look at the battle-tested british planes and make recommendations as to the best and lightest way to effectively add armor.
The engineer studied hundreds of battle-tested british fighter planes. He found that most of them had been hit many many times. They were often riddled with gunfire. The bullet holes were scattered and spread and seemingly random. And in comparing notes on hundreds of different planes, he could find no common spot or area on the planes where all or most of them had been hit, no real focusing of damage.
Yet he when he made his report, his recommendations for armoring the planes were both effective and efficient. How did he make such good suggestions?

He suggested making the planes harder to hit by altering size/shape?

sorry, I was unclear. He was hired to figure out where to add more armor to the planes (for example, double the thickness of the metal casings on the tips of the wings) and that is what he successfully did.
But how?
But how?
Three men get shipwrecked on an island. The island is small, and has little food for all of them. But the three men manage to live for several months without inncident.
Man 1, however, got greedy and stole some food from Man 2. Because of his, Man 2 dies from starvation.
Since there is more rations, Man 1 makes soup for man 3, who was brothers with Man 2. It's Seagull soup. Man 3 thinks it's the most amazing thing he has ever had.
Three weeks later, man 1 is dead, and Man 3 is still alive on the Island. He manages to make a raft and sail it to land.
He sees a restaurant on the beach. He walks into the restaurant and gets seated. He looks at the menu and orders seagull soup, remembering how much he enjoyed it last time. The waitress brings out the soup, he takes one bite, realizes something & runs out onto the road and gets killed.
What made him freak out?

The Engineer armoured the parts of the planes that had no reported damage. The reported damage locations did not need to be armoured further, since apparently the planes damaged there managed to make it back to report damages.
