I'm not sure whether Leeds is the only town with 5 letters where the Who has ever played, but I think it is a nice find I sure don't have a better answer

As for the cigarette-riddle. It seems pretty straight forward: 25/5 = 5 cigarettes. But then you have to realise that all those 5 will leave butts, so 6 in total

Sorry if it was too easy! Now YOU have to remember or think up one...

Well, I thought it was 5 for about 10 minutes - but that was just too easy. It had to be more difficult, for else it was just a math problem instead of a riddle So not too easy at all

I heard a smart limerick just the other day, but I don't remember the right words... hold on, I wrote it down somewhere

[Edit]Got it, here we go:

Jack and Jill are both dead! This I say -
For I saw them myself yesterday.
Just a small pool of water
And glass, hints to slaughter.
So tell me what happened, I pray.

Good luck!

I don't have answer for Jack and Jill, but the answer to Who's there is FIRST

[billl]

Oh, yeah, the Abbot & Costello routine! It took me a while to figure it out even after you gave us the answer--and it is obviously much better than my reference to an album by THE Who.

Classic
Abbott and Costello

I Still don't have a good answer for this one, so, a not so good one...ahem..

We know that "Jack fell down and broke his crown. And Jill came tumbling after" so maybe their injuries were far worse than we thought.
(I know, sooo bad, forgive me)

[billl]

Did they drink some poisoned water? (And drop their glass?)

[prendrelemick]

I strongly suspect their mother. She is known to have abused Jill in later verses, and let Jack go to bed without seeking professional medical advice.

[MarkBastable]

They're dropped goldfish.

[iamnobody]

clever!

There are various variants of this, but this version crops up in my novel Mischief, as a teasing message on an voicemail serrvice...

BLEEP.

“Hi, it’s Chris. This might amuse you. A story just came in over the wire from Connecticut. Some guy shoots his father stone dead. The police take him down to the precinct and call up the District Attorney. The District Attorney is appraised of the details, and then goes through to the Assistant DA’s office. ‘Can you take this one, Bob?’ says the DA. ‘I can’t do it. I don’t think I could prosecute my own son.’ Discuss. See you soon...”

Bob is a stepfather to the alleged killer?

OR

Bob used to be the alleged killer's mother, but has subsequently had a sex change operation?

Er - Bob is the Assisant DA who's addressed by the DA - so Bob has nothing to do with problem.

[Scheherazade]

The DA is a woman and the killer's mother?
