Sorry, I said earlier, I like "gotcha!" riddles, which this one is because it's deliberately setup to remind you of Monty Hall
Someone want to post a new one?
lol...very tricky. You had me the whole time!!!

3) A cowboy rode into town on Friday, stayed three days, and rode out again on Friday. How did he do that?
Two more challenging ones:
1) There is a common English word that is nine letters long. Each time you remove a letter from it, it still remains an English word - from nine letters right down to a single letter. What is the original word, and what are the words that it becomes after removing one letter at a time?
2) With pointed fangs it sits in wait,
With piercing force its doles out fate,
Over bloodless victims proclaiming its might,
Eternally joining in a single bite.
What am I?
3. Friday is his horse's name
1. Startling
2. A stapler? (If i remember that one correctly)

OK, These are silly since no one has offered a serious one:
Wots blak and white and red all over?
(I've heard a couple reasonable answers to that one)
What's red and green and goes 100 mph?

Right on all accounts. You're too smart for riddles.

Lol, thanks. I wasn't too sure about the english word one. I remember hearing either startling or starting. The stapler one was hard to remember. The reason I am good at most of these is because I have heard of most of them.

I'm going to give this one a bump, just because I tend to enjoy reading riddles/puzzles. I posted these two relatively silly ones a few days back, only because no one else seemed to be contributing after all the others seemed to have been posted.

Surely someone knows these and can offer some fresh blood?

That or a Zebra with diaper rash or a Zebra with the measles or whatever, but the classic one is a newspaper. Tough riddle to put in print-- do you spell it 'read' and give it away, or 'red' and purposely mislead... Anyhow-- please post a new riddle!
