Hey, Riddle, Riddle

At the beginning of the school year, I asked kids in grades 3-5 to warm up their brains by working together to solve riddles. Can YOU figure out the 3rd grade ones? 

1. You are a cyclist in a cross­-country race. Just before crossing the finish line, you overtake the person in second place! What place did you finish in? 
   
   
2. Jimmy's mother had 4 children. She named the first Monday and the second Tuesday. The third is named Wednesday. What is the name of the fourth child? 
   
   
3. You are driving a bus. At the first stop, 2 women get on. The second stop, 3 men get on and 1 woman gets off. Third stop, 3 kids and their mom get on, and a man gets off. The bus is grey, and it is raining outside. What color is the bus driver’s hair? 
   
   
4. Which is heavier? A pound of feathers, or a pound of rocks? 
   
   
5. What five-letter word becomes shorter when you add two letters to it? 
   
   
6. In my hand I have two coins. Together, they total 30 cents. One isn’t a nickel. What are the coins?

I had to wait to post pictures of the students until we got the new photo permissions list.
