Nope.

Good job!
Now to reiterate: What 4 letter word can have 3 letters taken away and mean the same thing?

I have another one, AlphaTauri (Click to Show Hidden Text)

Five. You remove F, I, and E, and you're left with V--five in Roman numerals.

Nope. Don't exist. Sorry. Paleonaps is stuck on a deserted island. There is a bridge to connect the island to the mainland. Halfway across the bridge there is a guard. The guard will not let anyone from the mainland to the island, or anyone from the island to the mainland. If the guard catches someone, he sends him or her back. The guard sleeps for 30 seconds and then is awake for 5 minutes. The island is surrounded by man-eating sharks, and paleonaps does not have anything with him except for his own shirt and his pants. It takes him 1 minute to cross the bridge. How does he cross the bridge without getting caught?

Last one about paleonaps for now.

He begins to cross the bridge as soon as the guard falls asleep, and as he gets near the guard, he turns around, just as the guard is awakening. The guard believes he is from the mainland trying to get on the island, so he sends him "back" to the mainland.

Correct, blue cobra.

I seem to come up with the overly practical answers that would work but aren't the right right answer, while blue cobra just comes up with the right answers.

Well, try this one: An old man had been browsing for some time. He finally walked up to the girl behind the counter and handed her a book. She looked at the tag on the inside cover and said, "That's $4.50 please." The man handed her the money and promptly walked away without the book. The girl saw him leave empty-handed but she didn't call out to him in any way. Why?

It was a library late fee, and he was returning it

And HappySciencePie got the answer for my riddle.
Oh, and judging from previous posts, I should probably have protection on the island too.

[zyzzyva980]

Correct.

A Signalman Falls Asleep At His Post And Two Trains Collide With Each Other. There Isn't A Single Injury, But Two People Are Dead On The Police List. How Does This Happen?

Edit: Every time...I don't see all the posts before mine. Very annoying.
