Can anyone answer these really tricky riddles?

Question

Riddle #1
A man wanted to enter an exclusive club but did not know the password that was required. He waited by the door and listened. A club member knocked on the door and the doorman said, "twelve." The member replied, "six " and was let in. A second member came to the door and the doorman said, "six." The member replied, "three" and was let in. The man thought he had heard enough and walked up to the door. The doorman said ,"ten" and the man replied, "five." But he was not let in. 

What should have he said? 


Riddle #2
A vacationing family sitting around the campfire has the following conversation: 
1. Father: What day is it? I am sure it isn't Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday. 
2. Mother: Well that's not very helpful dear. Besides yesterday was Friday. 
3. Father: No, now that I think about it, yesterday wasn't Friday, tomorrow is Friday. 
4. Junior: The day after tomorrow is Thursday. 
5. Susie: You are nuts. Tomorrow is Thursday. 
6. Mother: Actually, it's probably Thursday today. 
7. Junior: All we know for sure is that it wasn't Sunday yesterday. 

If only one statement above is true, what day of the week is it? 


Riddle #3
Which is correct to say?
The yolk of the egg are white, or the yolk of the egg is white?


Riddle #4
A bus driver was heading down a street in Colorado. He went right past a stop sign without stopping, he turned left where there was a "no left turn" sign, and he went the wrong way on a one-way street. Then he went on the left side of the road past a cop car. The cop did nothing, because he didn't break any traffic laws. Why not?


Riddle #5
All the electricity was out in town and none of the street lights or traffic signals had power. A dark limousine was cruising down the newly paved blacktop, with its headlights off. A young boy dressed totally in black (with no reflectors) stepped out to cross the street. The moon wasn't out and the boy had no flashlight, yet the driver stopped to let the boy cross the street. How did the driver see the boy?

DarkDragon59 · Answer

1: He should have said Three, because there are 3 letters in the word 'ten'.

#2: Number each person's statement and write down the list of days that it could be according to each statement.
1. Monday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday
2. Saturday
3. Thursday
4. Tuesday
5. Wednesday
6. Thursday
7. Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday
The only day mentioned one time is Monday.
Therefore it must be Monday, otherwise one of the other statements would be true.

#3: Neither. The yolk of the egg is yellow. The albumen of the egg is white.

#4: He was walking on the sidewalk.

#5: The moon was not out, but the sun was (It was daytime)

These aren't 'really tricky' at all, you just need to think a bit.

Also I didn't copy the other guy, I just used the same site, is all.

1.2 (double the number and add the digits....12*2=24&2+4=6,6*2=12&1+2=3 similarly, 10*2=20&2+0=2)
2.Monday the only day satisfied by first condition and wrong for all others. Rest all weekdays violate!
3.Both wrong! The yolk is yellow in colour and as far as I know, they don't call it(white part) white yolk :D
4.Because the bus driver is not driving the bus! Hes walking down the street, that's all. :)
5.Because it's broad daylight out there. :D
