Up until the end of the 1980s, riddles were popular mess facts. Two of the most popular dealt with the boiler chimney, 1921-1974:

Q. How many bricks are in the chimney?

A. None; if there were bricks in it the smoke couldn't come out.

Q. How many bricks did it take to finish the chimney?

A. 1 (one).

Another dealt with 33 1/3 records which were popular at the time.

Q. How many grooves are on a 33 1/3 rpm record? A. Two. One on each side.
