The adult human body has 206 bones. An infant may have from 300-350 bones at birth. Some of these fuse together as the infant grows. When some bones fuse and become one bone (most obvious examples are in the skull, sacrum and hip bones) the number of overall bones drops to the 206 bones that most adults have.

Why is Leo here an appropriate mascot for Leinster Rugby? (And it's not because they both begin with "L"!)

(BTW I'm not sure if it was done deliberately for this reason but if it was and you know it, no need to answer! A riddle not a quiz!)

This one isn't so much of a riddle as just pure logic but it still takes people some time.

Why are sewer covers circular?

My sister Susan recently met an old school chum. 'Gosh, she said, I haven't seen you since we were at university together, must be about 10 years.'

'Yes', said her friend, 'since that time I have opened up my own fashion store, and I also got married'. 'Congratulations', said my sister 'was it to anyone I know'?

'No, I don't believe so', said her friend, 'but this is my son, who is now 8 years old'. 'Hello', said my sister, 'and what is your name?'

'I am named after my father', replied the boy. 'Then I think your name must be Peter', said my sister.

How did she know?

Then you go to Florida and ten people get off while fourteen get back on.
When you get to New Mexico, twenty people leave and five more get back on.

Black I am & much admired,
Men & horses I have tired.
They combed my hair & shaved my face,
And took me from my native place.
