U walk into the living room. There's glass on the floor and a damp patch. The window is wide open.
Who was murdered - who did it - and why?

A goldfish, a cat, and because it was hungry, respectively. :)

Basically jus give a riddle and leave it to be solved. Try to use ones that require a bit of lateral thinking.. Be Sherlock Holmes:)

Exposure?
Poison leaching out of the backpack?
Lightning strike?
You are at a party and your friend takes off her favorite ring to cut the tasty vanilla cake. The lights suddenly go out. When the come on, your friend shouts
"Somebody took my ring!"
You scan the room. Pete is avoiding your gaze. The rug is slightly pushed up. The flowers in the window box are pointing away from the sun. Mark is picking his nose. Rachel is rubbing something brown off her hands with a paper towel and saying "Ew, I bumped into the cake!"
Who stole the ring and where is it?

I had parachute didn't open..
Ok.. Rachel took the ring and headed for window, tripped over the rug when pete got a bit familiar and stuck her hand in the window box to stop herself falling over. She lifted out the flowerpots, put the ring underneath, but put the pots back the wrong way round.

Easy 1 then...
A man lives on the 20th floor of a block of flats. When he goes out he gets in the lift and goes to the ground floor. When he gets back he gets in the lift, goes to the 16th floor and climbs the stairs for the rest of the way.
When its raining he gets in the lift on the 20th, and gets out on the ground floor, but coming back he gets in the lift and goes straight to the 20th floor... Y?

Almost. Rachel took the ring, stumbled over the rug, put the ring in under the soil-thing, got her hands dirty and put the flower in backwards. Everybody else's behaviour was just a red herring.

the man is a dwarf and can only reach the 16 button, but on rainy days he has an umbrela, and can press the 20 button with it?

All answers are correct on the quantum level... whether they're relevant is a different matter:)

She likes the letter "e", which is at the end of time, the end of space, and the end of 'the human race'.

She doesn't like colours but likes yellow.. She doesn’t like to eat food. She likes Yellowstone.
If a man and a half, can smoke a pack and a half of half and half in a day and a half, how long would it take one man to smoke one pack?

Some interesting guesses, but I would say when she goes out boots are much preferred (over shoes) and mittens over gloves. It's chilly of course, which is a wonderful temperature. Much better than warm, though a breezy day in summer may be considered.
How am I doing?

OMG! I think I just figured this one out two seconds ago!
She likes words with double letters, and thus likes associates but not partners!
