One I just did:
Q: I was heading to Aberdeen from London. On my way I passed seven wives, each wife had seven sacks, and in each sack there were seven cats and each cat had seven fish. How many were going to London?
A: This riddle is a play on words, and the answer is hidden in the phrasing! You mentioned you were heading to Aberdeen from London, but you didn’t say anything about the seven wives, their sacks, cats, or fish actually being headed to London.
The only one going to London is you.
So the answer is: 1 person (you) are going to London.

On my way I passed six clerks, each clerk had six socks, and in each sock there were six skinks and each skink had six sticks. How many were going to Boston? The answer is... "I" was going to Boston! The question asks how many were going to Boston, and the answer is the person being referred to, which is "I". The rest of the information about the clerks, socks, skinks, and sticks is just a clever distraction! [Of course, it also got your exact prompt right.]
