You're walking along one day and see a cruiseship full of hundreds of people.

You then are distracted by a majestic bird flying past and look away for a moment.

When you look back at the cruise ship you can't see a single person on it.

The ship has not sunk and there are no other ships in sight.

How is this possible?

New riddle: The heirless emperor

The empreor has no sons, no daughters, and no family. before he dies he must decide who will succeed him.

As such he decides that he will give all of the children of the kingdom a single seed. And tells them that whichever child has the largest, most beautiful plant will earn the throne; this being a metaphor for the kingdom.

At the end of the contest all of the richest and most prestigious boys came to the palace with their enormous and beautiful plants.

After he looks at all of the children's pots, he finally decides that the ugly little peasant girl who showed up with an empty pot will be the next ruler.

Why did he choose this little girl over all of the other children with their bountiful plants?

The dog promised the lake that it wouldn't pee in it, then does, therefore crossing the lake. Then the dog walks around the lake.

The seeds he gave them were fake news and wouldn't have sprouted plants, so the boys with plants were trying to deceive him.

Because he doesn't care about his line whatsoever and rather than choose a boy to be named his son he chose a girl who will marry another person who will take over the line thus ending his legacy anyway.

What an asshole.

That wasn't part of the agrement though. He sent out seeds and promised whoever had the biggest plant would win.

She was the only one with the ounce of sense to plant the seed in a plot of land rather than a pot that would limit its growth?

Alternately, because she was a farmer and had her own selection of home-grown crops that greatly outclassed anything the given seed could grow, as he did not specify that the best plant needed to be from a seed he gave.

New riddle: Sharks in a pool

You are standing in front of water-filled pool with hungry and aggressive human-eating sharks. You scratch your skin so that you bleed, which will make the sharks even more hungry. You then take a leap into the pool and walk slowly until you reach the other end of the pool. You step out of the pool unharmed.

Why?

(The sharks are alive and you are walking in the same pool as the sharks)

There's a net or other barrier seperating you from the sharks.
