They makes sense once you know the answers, but if you were to try to come up with them yourself you'd never think of those answers because they're so farfetched.

A man is dead in a field with a long piece of cord. What happened?

Your correct! Two riddles this time:
A woman shoots her husband.
Then she holds him under water for over 5 minutes.
Finally, she hangs him.
But 5 minutes later they both go out together and enjoy a wonderful dinner together.
How can this be?
Three friends check into a motel for the night and the clerk tells them the bill is $30, payable in advance. So, they each pay the clerk $10 and go to their room. A few minutes later, the clerk realizes he has made an error and overcharged the trio by $5. He asks the bellhop to return $5 to the 3 friends who had just checked in. The bellhop sees this as an opportunity to make $2 as he reasons that the three friends would have a tough time dividing $5 evenly among them; so he decides to tell them that the clerk made a mistake of only $3, giving a dollar back to each of the friends. He pockets the leftover $2 and goes home for the day! Now, each of the three friends gets a dollar back, thus they each paid $9 for the room which is a total of $27 for the night. We know the bellhop pocketed $2 and adding that to the $27, you get $29, not $30 which was originally spent. Where did the other dollar go????
For the first riddle:
They are on a holiday. She 'shoots' a picture of him, puts him in the shower and I can't think of what the hanging part would be.
For the second riddle:
The 'other dollar' went nowhere(or back to the customers if you like). The bellhop substracted the 2 dollars from the 5 he should've returned, not from total of $30.

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The woman was a photographer. She shot a picture of her husband, developed it, and hung it up to dry.
The facts in this riddle are clear: There is an initial $30 charge. It should have been $25, so $5 must be returned and accounted for. $3 is given to the 3 friends, $2 is kept by the bellhop - there you have the $5. The trick to this riddle is that the addition and subtraction are done at the wrong times to misdirect your thinking - and quite successfully for most. Each of the 3 friends did indeed pay $9, not $10, and as far as the friends are concerned, they paid $27 for the night. But we know that the clerk will tell us that they were charged only $25 and when you add the $3 returned with the $2 kept by the bellhop, you come up with $30.

John will overtake his brother 20 minutes after his brother leaves the school, at the halfway mark between his school and his home.

After teaching his class all about roman numerals (X = 10, IX=9 and so on) the teacher asked his class to draw a single continuous line and turn IX into 6. The only stipulation the teacher made was that the pen could not be lifted from the paper until the line was complete.

Keep the pen on the paper and spin the paper around 180 degrees
Sandy
Smash Champion
Draw an S in front of the IX and it spells SIX. No one said the line had to be straight 
buddy9246
Smash Ace
You said turn it into 6 not SIX. so your wrong! lol
Sandy
Smash Champion
6=Six
buddy9246
Smash Ace
LOL. I'm not good at riddles. but i can critize them. =)
Spinning the paper 180 degrees turns it into XI, which is 11, not 6. 6 would be VI. You need to brush up on your roman numerals!

This is more of a math question than a riddle but whatever I guess
1+1+2+4=8 and 1*1*2*4=8
8 is both the sum and product of the numbers shown above. What is the smallest number of numbers that both add up to and multiply to get 2007?

That's a trick question. Their both the same weight.

Well nobody got mine so there are 1,100,385 days in the decade.
Here's a good one! Jesse had 31 customers at her store on Monday, the next day she had 14, and Wednsday was 41, then Thursday she had 15. Then Friday she had 59. Saturday (Today) she has 92. Tomorrow, how many customers will she have?

Good try but no.
The man was actually a fly!
The fly was on a chair.
People were playing musical chairs at a party.
Oh come on, that's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. Besides the fact that a "man" cannot be a fly, who would think of this?
Volrec

omfgomfg's answer is ludicris. I think Frankie Nailed it. it should be:
A fly died when the music stopped playing. What happened?
