I like this one:

There are 100 prisoners lining up to go to jail. Each prisoner is wearing a hat that is either black or white. The prisoners don't know their own hat color, just the hat color of those in front of them in line (the first prisoner in line can't see anyone's hat and the last prisoner can see everyone's hat except their own). Starting from the back, one of the guards asks each prisoner what color their hat is. If they are correct they get to go free but if they are wrong they go to jail.

If the prisoners get to discuss a plan, how can at least 99 of them be saved?

"I've finally earned my place as assistant curator of the museum", said Bob Hobbie to Max, the chief administrator of the Belgra Archeological Museum. "I moved West of the Pakistani dig site and we've just unearthed some wonderful coin artifacts."

"Why did you start digging in a new location?" asked Max.

"One of the local natives told me that, for many generations, his family had passed down a legend of a lost village and he found a map among his father's things," said Bob. "His father recently passed away", he added. "The native followed the map and led me to this site on the condition that if we discovered anything of value he would be paid one thousand dollars", explained Bob.

"And what is it that you found buried,?" asked Max.

"It's just terrific," exclaimed Bob, "we found 3 gold coins of various sizes dated 400 B.C., and after properly dusting them off I found them to be in excellent condition." "I quickly paid the native to complete our verbal contract and keep him from trying to claim a portion of the discovery," concluded Bob. After considering for a few moments, Max told Bob that when he returns home he should look for another job!!  Why?

This is the best version of this riddle I've found. I like a story to go with a riddle because it often adds interest, and helps distract you...

Because once you find it, you no longer have to look! :P

It was (as already answered correctly) that each boy bought the other's cupcakes. If we wanted to be a bit more devious, one boy bought the other boy's cupcake, that boy returned the favour with the dollar he earned, and so on and so forth.

I liked this one. :)

Here's a new one (it's kind of a bad riddle, but it's a good joke):

Every time you lose something, you always find it in the very last place you would look.

Why is this?

T3B4

This is a really creative one (and hard):

Two boys were sent by their mothers to sell an equal amount of cupcakes each, worth one dollar per cupcake.

They were told not to eat the cupcakes they are selling, and that they should sell all of the cupcakes.

At the end of the day, all cupcakes were sold, yet neither boy gained nor lost a dollar.

What happened?

T3B3

Age. Young children don’t even know their age and extremely old folks wish they could turn back the hands of time, but not so much that they’re too young or they no longer have an age at all.

T3B2

This is pretty good:

Everyone has it.
Those who have it least don’t know that they have it.
Those who have it most wish they had less of it,
but not too little or none at all.
