Re: Riddle Thread
A lone Ensign finds himself stranded on a class L planetoid with no rations, with his only possession being a calendar. When Starfleet find him 12 months later, he's in perfect health. Why didn't he starve to death?

Re: Riddle Thread
Nerd answer: the planetoid had a tiny orbit, so it's "month" was approximately 4 hours. 
Other answer: he ripped out each page of the calendar, so twelve months were gone.

Q:"What has four wheels and flies?"
A: A garbage truck
I was so proud and amazed at my 4 year old... Then she said:
Q: "What has eight wheels and wings?"
A: A garbage truck

Come on guys, don't you remember this one from VOY: Riddles?
The ensign could have also survived by eating the "sunda(y)es"

Re: Riddle Thread
Here's one that stumps most adults but most kids get within 5 seconds.
Its greater than god but more evil then the devil.
The Poor have it, the Rich need it.

And no I will not add it in the spolier tag so someone here can cheat
