This is a hard one.

A man gave one son 10 cents, and another son 15 cents. What time is it?

Nope, good guess! It's not that obvious.
I'll give a hint after the next incorrect guess.

First of all is it possible to determine the time with this information? Assuming it is, I have a couple guesses:
10:15 am
3:10 pm
12:09:06 am (Don't ask about the logic behind this one )

[ikke009]

so he gave a quarter to two sons eh.... nope no clue ^^

So this bear starts walking at a unique spot.. He walks 10 km in a straight line, turns left, walks 20 km, turns left again, and walks a final 10 km.. He ended up on the same spot as where he left.
What color is the bear?

[danny_delmax1]

Here's the hint: So far, ikke009 is the closest by far I would say, just missing that one logical connection. (Hint #2: Three words give you the answer)
Yes, it is possible to determine the time with this information.

The answer to ikke009's riddle.
x = bear.color
print("The answer is: "..x)

Anyway, its either Brown, Black, White, or Clear. (Don't question my logic)

[apemanzilla]

2:15?

[danny_delmax1]

Very close! Think about the logic a little more,
Hint #3: ikke009 has 90% of the answer in the first line of his post.

[KaoS]

1:45 ?

Correct!

quarter to two
1:45

Oh, lol

While I understood the logic behind that I despise this kind of riddle with a passion... In reality it isn't a real riddle. It is basically
completely random statement
completely random question, the answer of which can only be found by twisting words rather than facts

I agree to a point- the riddle would be almost impossible without hints, which is why I gave a hint for every incorrect answer. This was it has small logical connections, which helps you to determine the overall answer.

[KaoS]

That is true however factually if a man gives his two sons money amounting to a quarter it doesn't necessarily mean that the time is 1:45. You cannot answer the riddle with the given information. You can twist the words in the riddle into a POSSIBLE solution but you can at no point say that the time is definitely 1:45 because you cannot work that out

[ikke009]

Which is why I subtly dropped that hint in my last comment xD
I knew the answer but like KaoS said this riddle is tricky, especcially on this forum with lots of logical thinkers and not so many rational thinkers

I see your point factually, and many other solutions could be possible- such as the 10:15 answer, 2:10, etc. Ill refrain from using these types of riddles, are they do stray from any logical evidence.

I had a feeling you knew, but wasn't sure. Anyway, thanks for the hint- it didn't give too much away, while providing a structure for other hints.

White!
It's a polar bear!

I know you can make those 90 degrees turns to get on the same spot, but I have no idea how I would explain it to people who dont.
