[Dr. Sticks]

I haven't used staplers that much since I was a little kid

[Segovia]

It is a stapler guys.

[LewisTheTank]

It is a big part of USA.
Utah has one, and so does Massachusetts, Connecticut, Kentucky, Louisiana and a few other states as well. Outside of the USA it can be found in Europe, Austria and elsewhere if you look hard enough.
It is also part of you, but can also stand alone and still be recognized as you.
What am I talking about?

[Reynardine]

A name?

[Fritz]

The letter u.

[Reynardine]

*facepalm*

Wow I suck...

[LewisTheTank]

The letter u.

U go it! hehe
Try this one then:
You use them every day, yet you rarely see them. When you do, most times you don't even notice them. When you do notice them, they notice you.
What are they?

[Reynardine]

Your eyes

[Dr. Sticks]

I really liked how it was in elsewhere if you looked hard enough

Since everyone seems to have given up on my poor monks, here's a hint.

If there is one monk with red eyes, he notices that nobody else has red eyes and kills himself on the first night.
If there are two monks with red eyes, no monk kills himself on the first night. The next morning, what can either one of the monks with red eyes deduce?

[Archaemic]

Ahhh...very clever...the monk can deduce that there is more than one monk with red eyes. While that monk can deduce that he has red eyes because only one other monk has red eyes, if there are three or more, things get messy.

[LewisTheTank]

Your eyes

Correct!

[nickspoon]

Ahhh...very clever...the monk can deduce that there is more than one monk with red eyes. While that monk can deduce that he has red eyes because only one other monk has red eyes, if there are three or more, things get messy.

Again, that's part of the solution. Think: if there are three red-eyed monks, then what happens on the third day?

[Archaemic]

Gah, holy crap, it's recursive. All of the monks with red eyes die on the nth night, where n is the number of monks with red eyes.

I've got a riddle... some may find it easy and some may find it hard.

Here goes.

A farmer catches a fox in his henhouse. He puts him in a cage and tells him that he'll let him go, but not without punishment for stealing his chickens.

He says that if the fox tells him something true, he'll cut off his tail... and if he tells him something false, he'll cut off his ears. (Sorry about the fox abuse...)

He tells the farmer something... and the farmer sets him free without cutting anything off him at all.

What did the fox say? (And no, the answer isn't 'nothing' =P)
