I made one up a few weeks ago in the riddle tradition of completely distorting language. It was horrible. Suffice to say that a beetle chewing really shouldn't somehow be a riddle about buffer overflow. -_-
A man goes into a hardware store to buy something for his house. When asked the price, the clerk replies, "the price of one is twenty-four cents, the price of forty-four is forty-eight cents, and the price a hundred and forty-four is seventy-two cents. What is the man buying?
but as i pointed out it's the phase change that actually causes this.

well, here is more of a math problem than a riddle, but I found it interesting nonetheless:
A car is traveling at 30 mph for an indeterminate distance. The car makes the return trip the same indeterminate distance at 20 mph. What is the average speed of the car over the roundtrip.
