Ahhhh now i get it. I read it wrong, i was thinkin to give the number u started off with ie. 0+0=0 haha how stupid was i... :pac:

but you were still right
0+0=0
0x0=0
and 2 is also right
2+2=4
2x2=4
so the riddle is flawed

Fella starts at one corner of a square field, and walks around the four edges and back to the same spot again. It takes him 2 hours. He tries it again and it only takes him 120 mins. How come?

Clever, 2 hours = 120 mins. I'm sure it will catch some out.

A hunter goes out hunting one morning. He walks one mile south, one mile east where he sees a bear, he shoots the bear. He then walks one mile north and arrives home. What colour is the bear and why?

There is a bridge that's 4KM long that can hold exactly 2tons of weight. Anymore weight and the bridge will collapse

A truck weighing exactly 2tons ventures onto this bridge. 2.75km into the journey a bird weighing exactly 1 pound lands on top of the truck. Given the above parameters the bridge should collapse but it doesn't, why?
