So, there was a thread on here a while back dedicated to riddles. Thaboss hasn't seen any new thread recently, so he's decided to start his own. Feel free to post and respond to any riddles.
Here's a classic one.
Bob hates his job. One day, while Bob is working on the 34th floor of an office building, he decides he's fed up with it. He rips open a window, and jumps through it. Although Bob is on the 34th floor, and there was nothing to stop, slow down, or cushion his fall, when he landed, he was perfectly fine. How?

"Three gods A, B, and C are called, in some order, 'True', 'False', and 'Random'. True always speaks truly, False always speaks falsely, but whether Random speaks truly or falsely is a completely random matter. Your task is to determine the identities of A, B, and C by asking three yes-no questions; each question must be put to exactly one god. The gods understand English, but will answer all questions in their own language, in which the words for 'yes' and 'no' are 'da' and 'ja', in some order. You do not know which word means which."

The Captain's Dilemma (Easy)
On a ship a captain is in charge of transporting 100 million dollars worth of diamond to a nearby port. The owners of the diamonds were scared that the real diamonds were going to be stolen and convinced the captain to bring a second batch of plastic diamonds (Expertly made) on the ship. The owner decided to make a big show of giving away the diamonds on a further away port and then send the real ones to the nearby port. The owner was very arrogant and while on the ship he challenged every single person he met to guess which diamond was real and which one was not. Unfortunately it just so happened that a legitimate diamond investigator was on the ship. When the owner asked the person to guess he replied back with a small nod of the head (As to not show to much enthusiasm). When the owner and the man went to the chests they opened them up and took one out of each. The man just took his special glass out to take a look at the diamonds when a huge wave came past and sent all the chests (And the diamonds within) sprawled on the floor. Suddenly the owner grew very angry and he asked for the captain to sort out this mess or he was sure to get fired. The owner was a very rich man and was capable of this. As the captain was going crazy on how to distribute his men a young boy gave him an idea.
Only 30 minutes later the diamonds were sorted out and placed in appropriate chests. What did the boy say?
