Here is another one:

During the Holocaust there is a Jewish man who has managed to evade the Nazi soldiers for many months. He has finally made it to the border of Germany, but to his dismay, there is a massive river blocking his way with only one bridge over. The bridge was under Nazi control and any person caught trying to exit Germany will be killed on the spot, but any Polish person caught trying to enter Germany without the proper papers will be sent back to Poland. There is only one guard on this bridge and he only checks the bridge for people every three minutes. Now, no matter how quickly any person may run, this bridge will always take exactly five minutes to cross. How can the German man exit Germany without being caught and killed?
he can walk like halfway to Poland then turn and walk back to Germany , the guard will think him coming from Poland and since he has no papers he will be "returned to "Poland.
is it right?

Okay...I am back with my riddles...Now here is a tricky one. Try to solve this one..If anybody can't get the correct answer then I'll post the answer.here it goes:

Times are hard in a small rural town--business is slowing and people are moving out. It so happens that there are two horse dealerships in town. Unfortunately, there's only enough people to support one of the dealerships. So the two owners meet and decide that one of them must leave town. Since neither of them want to leave they devise a competition to see who gets to stay. It is decided that they will race their horses across town. Now they don't want to damage their horses so they change the race rule so that whoever's horse crosses the finish post LAST wins the race and gets to stay in town. So the next day they set off. Both are ambling along taking rests and getting nowhere nearer to finishing. After a few hours, a wise old man tells them to dismount and gives them some advice, after which the two sprint back to the horses, get on and gallop towards the finish line. Assuming that the race rules were not changed - what advice did the old man give them ?
something like this one was posted before

Six Glasses are in a row. The first three are filled with milk and the last three are empty. By moving only one glass, can you arrange them so that the full and the empty glasses alternate?

Simply to swap horses (whereby getting across the finish line first would ensure that the riders horse crossed last).
