    This has got to be one of the dumbest, and smartest riddles I have ever heard. You won't find this on the web. If you want to know the truth I took be about half a week of 24/7 thinking before I finally got it.
    Here is the riddle:

    There are 3 worms in a straight line. head to tail, head to tail, head to tail. The first worm says there are 2 worms behind me. The last worm says there are two worms in front of me. Then the middle worm says there are no worms in front of behind me.

    How is this possible?


    Rules:
    1. This is not a word question where the answer lies between the words.
    2. This scene doesn't have things like nukes, smoke grenades or anything like that.
    3. "Life of an Earthworm" worms can somewhat see.

    This is not an entirely sound riddle, as it is not based on logic. So just yell the answer and when I respond I will say whether if its correct or not, if I don't respond its probably not correct.

    As an incentive I will be offering 5 diamonds to the person who can solve the riddle. This is not a comp though.

    Haha, this is actually really easy. Can I give it away and win that 5 diamonds? This is incredibly easy.

    I've only come up with one thing, and it's not entirely within the parameters.
    I'll continue thinking.
    So far, all I've gotten is that the worms are positioned like so: --- || ---
    However, that's not a straight line, head to tail....

    Some answers that are probably way too obvious:
    The middle worm is a liar.
    Worms can't talk.

    Ahhh my answer deleted :(

    alright, here it is again:
    worms are like gemma said above but with one difference. they are placed in a sort of pattern where the first one is straight, looking outwards, the third one is straight, looking inward, and the middle worm is 90 degrees. Yes worms cant talk because this is all hypothetical x3 the middle worm has its head to the ones end, and it end to the ones head. therefore , he cannot see either of them. and yes, the middle on is a liar.

    sorry about my skewed logic and my first post didnt go through :(

    anyway, i suk at riddles so yah

    GL :D

    You guys are thinking way too complex.

    The worms pattern is this: --- --- ---
    For the sake of this riddle, all 3 worms are not curved...they are at an 180 angle.

    There is only 1 possible answer to this: The middle worm is lying.

    My Original answer which I PM'd to xdras is this:

    This makes me feel stupid. extremebear did say the answer first in the pm so we have a winner.
    Gemma if you want you can have a "runners up" prize as you didn't actually know the answer and you found the solution.

    Okay.
    I knew I'm not the smartest person, but I didn't know I was that stupid. Even with all the comments, I still don't get this worm thing.
    I cri.
