Only one living person at a time in his family knows it, and when they are dying, they only tell it to one other member to carry it on. He does not know the answer, and he bet me that I can't figure it out before he does. He said I can ask anyone in the world that I want for help, so I figured I will take to the bright minds on this board.
The riddle is:
A man had a dollar. He spent 80 cents for a drum and 10 cents for 2 drumsticks. He gave a streetcar driver a dime to drive him 13 blocks. On the tenth block they kicked him out. Why?
Hint: I tell you the answer every time I say the riddle.
Good luck guys. I look forward to your answers.
The bolded is the answer.
The man was kicked out then asks why?
He was never told why he was kicked out, see bolded: he doesn't know the answer.
I tell you the "answer" every time I say the riddle.
The first part about it being passed down is part of the riddle.
You're welcome.
It's not part of the riddle but he says it every time he says/tells the riddle.
I think you got it. Deuces GOYNK.
