ok, i was thinking maybe there is a ladder on the side of the cliff.
the man was climbing (up or down) and because it was dark he decided to light a match to see his way...well, you all know the rest!

now after having this thought, i did a little searching and found a solution to this which is a little obscure....the important clue is that the match is very important in all this, think a little more laterally about it being broken (and nothing to do with it being lit)...also half the answer is in one of my posts above.....

about time someone put some thought into it

Well seems that unless the riddle is easy eg: "whats black and white....
you don't want to play  

Spoiler

Someone else can post one if you don't want to right now.

ohh i thought coctosan got it right, with the ladder..

heres one:

A woman shoots her husband.
Then she holds him under water for over 5 minutes.
Finally, she hangs him.
But 5 minutes later they both go out together and enjoy a wonderful dinner together.
How can this be?

Something to do with laundry maybe but I don't get the shooting part specifically, except a tomato sauce accident, and I don't understand the usage "holds him" "hangs him".

Maybe someone else can use that if it's on the right track.

If you get the "shooting" part...you should be on the right track.

hmm shoots im thinking not gun but camera (shoot a picture)

Holds under water throws me thou

Hanging out well thats would go along with my camera therory ( hang the film to dry)

I know its not a gun cause they went out

yep, it is a camera..the under water part is when you develop it!

Yepp!! Well done.

Is it a camera, and the uderwater part is devoloping it?  

Yepp!! Well done.

Susan watched as her husband boarded the 8:15 pm Qantas flight from Melbourne to Auckland. She then drove home from the airport and proceeded to watch a movie. About one hour into the movie there was a news flash: the 8:15 pm Qantas flight from Melbourne to Auckland had crashed with no survivors. Susan did not react. She just continued to watch the movie. How come?

1. She was catatonic.

2. She he used a big peice of wood to board the flight.  He just ran out onto the runway and hit the tyre with a peice of wood is all.

3. He owned a hanger and was just letting the plane sleep and refuel there, boarded it for the night in the hanger.

4. Skydiver.


Here's my guess:  He worked as the guy who cleaned up the planes, so he wasn't on the flight, he boarded and de-boarded and then had his lunch break at the KFC inside the airport.

lol...nup. But those are possible.
