Riddle Me This

[isaysroar]

Did he buy rocks and hay?:P Idk??

[EpicFailOlympian]

I would say air, but you can't really "buy" that. It's already there

A old man was dying, and he gave each of his three sons a gold coin and told them to go get something that would fill up the entire barn, and whoever accomplished the task would inherit his property. The eldest son went out and bought a hundred rocks. Those did not fill up the barn. The middle son went out and bought ten bales of hay, but even those barely didn't fill up the entire barn. The youngest son went out and bought two (single) items and filled the entire barn. What did the youngest son buy, and what did he fill the room with?

Two pies. He put them onto his brothers' faces and filled the barn with laughter.

It was all I could think of

He bought something to suck out all the air, and then bought something to fill it up with again?

The youngest son bought a match and a candle. Then he lit the match and used that to light the candle. The candle then filled the barn with light. I believe that is the correct answer, since I remember seeing that riddle before.

As I was going to St. Ives,
I met a man with seven wives,
Each wife had seven sacks,
Each sack had seven cats,
Each cat had seven kits.
Kits, cats, sacks, and wives,
How many were going to St. Ives?

[pikachu4919]

err, no.

[plaid suit guy2]

or anything to put on top of the rocks and hay. you never said that they were removed.

Hehe, only one, the narrator. But 7^0+7^1+7^2+7^3+7^4 = 2801 for the man he met in case anyone was wondering about the math

[plaid suit guy2]

that was obvious, but we were still talking about the one with the barn filling.
