Why Does it Always Happen at a Bar?
At a local bar, three friends, Mr. Green, Mr. Red and Mr. Blue, were having a drink. One man was wearing a red suit; one a green suit; and the other a blue suit.
"Have you noticed," said the man the blue suit, "that although our suits have colors corresponding to our names, not one of us is wearing a suit that matches our own names?"
Mr. Red looked at the other two and said, "You're absolutely correct."
What color suit is each man wearing?

Stop and Look
When you stop and look, you can always see me. If you try to touch you cannot feel me. I cannot move, but as you near me, I will move away from you. What am I?
BTW, I'm guessing there are multiple possibilities to answer this riddle.

Some Quick Palindrome Math
A car's odometer shows 72927 miles, a palindromic number. What are the minimum miles you would need to travel to form another?
A palindrome is a word (or in this case a number) which can be read forwards and backwards as the same word, such as kayak or 1221.
