Do I ask the Fusebox?
Yo Fusebox, how's all this wired?
Agreed. There are maybe two good wordplay riddles out there and the rest are terrible and too ambiguous and no fun.

What is the # of the stall the car is in?
What is the # of the stall the car is in?
87. The numbers are upside down.
That car one's a good one. I got it.
Hehe, nah nothing that weird.
I've got another one if you don't like that one.
There's two blind guys sitting opposite each other at a table.
On the table is 2 pairs of red socks, 2 pairs of blue socks and 2 pairs of green socks - each pair is balled up.
Each blind man wants 1 pair of socks of each color.
What do they do?

One blind man takes each ball of socks, undoes it and gives one sock to each, leaving them with two halves of each pair.
I like math riddles like this.
They let the nearby elephant pick 'em.
maybe you are the answer?
One guy picks up a pair, unballs them, keeps a sock and chucks the other guy one. Keeps going until he's shared all six balls. Now each guy has six socks, two of each colour.
Huh, but they wouldn't know how to pair them back up, would they...

Here's one for you: "I am even. But you cannot divide me by two."

They undo each ball so that each person gets one of the two socks. They'll get the pairs back since there are two of each color.

Oh no I figured it out it was "a lie"
That's a stupid one. Most of the answers given in this thread were equally valid.

You're stuck in a prison cell with a single piece of paper. How do you get out?

Such a lust for cookies! -Whoooooo!.
Turn on two, leave them on for about 10 minutes, then turn off one. The bulb will still be warm for the switch that you turned off, the one that's on is for the switch that's still flipped up, and the completely cold bulb is the switch that you didn't touch.

Make a series of trades with other inmates that eventually nets you some ketchup, then you know the rest.
You write to the warden with that piece of paper that the whole ordeal is just a big misunderstanding and that you're innocent, he completely understands and releases you immediately.
A bat?
You cut the paper in half.
Two halves make a whole. You crawl through it and esape.

This is either one of those "lol walk out the door, never said it was locked!" riddles or some weird interpretation of "out."

You can make this riddle impossible to solve if you use LED bulbs.
Bless you sir. This stupid riddle had plagued me since the 8th grade.

That... is a bad riddle. It's trying to play with multiple meanings of the word 'die', but while the latter is okay - trends die out, okay - the former is incredibly tenuous. "It can't die because it's a concept, not a living being"? No. That's just mealy-mouthed nonsense. I could just as easily answer, say, "Hamlet". The play will never die, the character constantly does.
A good riddle is well-defined in all its clauses. Each one might require a bit of a mental leap, that's fine, but when you've made it there's a satisfying association. Take the coffin example from elsewhere in the thread; three clauses, each initially seems contradictory but when you insert the correct answer, it all makes very satisfying sense.
An unsatisfying riddle is a bad riddle.

Good one.
Nope. Good-ish guess though.
While people ponder that one, I got another one.
What is weightless, can be seen by the naked eye and if you put it in a barrel, it'll make the barrel lighter?
