Any good riddles?

[Deleted member 40597]

There is a frog dead in the centre of a lily pad floating on a circular pond. The lily pad has a diameter of 20cm. The pond has a diameter of 100cm. If the lily pad grows by 5cm in diameter each day, how many days before the lily pad reaches the edge of the pond, so that the frog could walk off?

Also.... what word has 3 consecutive double letters?

Here's another.

I am the beginning of the end,
and the end of time and space.
I am essential to creation,
and
I surround every place.

Quite an oldie this one...

A hunter walks a mile due south, turns and walks a mile due east, turns again and walks a mile due north, only to find herself back where she started. The hunter then spots a bear, gets it in her sights, and shoots it dead. What colour is the bear, and why?

Normal stuff for the desert. The dead man died of a heart attack and the one alive had got his first aid kit out whilst trying to save him.

No, this was answered earlier. It's a parachute.
