Puzzles and fun (week 02)

This week the subject is Idea Development.  We got four riddles to solve. I teamed up with Mi Amor, and this is what we came up with.

Riddle #1

A man i replacing a wheel on his car, when he accidentally loses the four nuts used to hold the wheel on the car. They fall into a deep drain, irretrievably lost. A passing girl offers him a solution that allows him to drive home. 

Answer:  The girl lets him drive her car. They live together so they´re going the same way anyway! If that´s not so, she could also advice him to take one nut from each of the remaining tires. That would leave him with 3 nuts (nuts? issn´t it called bolts?) on each tire. He have to drive carefully and strait to home!

Answer: They are happily married! On Russian is the mother and the other is the father.
