Maybe a honeycomb?

The answer is: an egg (I looked it up). I would have thought a mouse could have found it.

Eggs haven't got windows in!

Eggs haven't got windows in!

Yes, that is the point, therefore you cannot count them. Look it up!

What site did you look it up on?I typed it and nothing came up 😂

Here's an easy one:-

Mike's mum has three children. She called the eldest Sunday and the second one Tuesday. What did she call the third one?

Mike…..

2nd child 2 days after Sunday, 3rd child 3 days after Tuesday, that makes Friday?

2nd child 2 days after Sunday, 3rd child 3 days after Tuesday, that makes Friday?

Oh yes, of course it's Mike! I completely overlooked the first part of the riddle.🤦‍♀️

It’s *Mike’s mum*…….

Here's a puzzle, not a riddle, very clever I think.

Mike.

Easy peasy. Lift the LH one and pour the contents into the 3rd from right!

That would be right except 3, 4 and 5 are full of wine and 1, 2 and 6 are empty. So it's 4 which has to be poured into 1.
