All of my riddles are strictly math/logic riddles. None of them will be the double meanings, play on words or joke type riddles. Here are the first two. Bring your answers to class.
1. A man was looking at a portrait. Someone asked him, "whose picture are you looking at?" He replied, "Brothers and sisters have I none, but this man's father (man in the portrait's father) is my father's son." Whose picture was the man looking at?
2. A man is 100 yards due south of a bear. He walks 100 yards due east, then faces due north, fires his gun due north, and hits the bear. What color was the bear? There is only one possibility so you need to explain why the bear must be a certain color, given what you know.

1. The picture is of himself.
2. The bear is white(a polar bear) and obviously lives at the north pole.
Here are what I think are the answers to the riddles!
1. The man is looking at his son's picture.
2. The bear is white, is a polar bear, and is in the North Pole. The bear must be white because only in the North Pole could the man walk due east and still be facing due north. The polar bear is due north.
