good one, very funny!
i got that 1 right off the bat... it was pretty fun though
I am sorry to say but that was way way way too easy for me
hmmm! lets see, you name 5 leprechauns and enquire which is the tallest, then say "you are" in your answer. The question doesn't ask who is the tallest in the room, it names 5 leprechauns along with their respective heights and ask who is the tallest! You wouldn't write " you are in a room with 4 dogs" then describe each dog individually and ask which has the less hair,and reply "you have" because the question is directed at the dogs descriptions. Same applies here, the question is directed at the leprechauns. If you had said "you are in room with 5 leprechauns of varying stature, who is the tallest" then your answer would apply. It is just badly worded.
I disagree mad-ade, it clearly states you are in the room with some leprachauns, then just happens to describe them - TO PUT YOU OFF BECAUSE IT IS A TRICK TEASER!!!
mad, if bigsurf didn't put the size of the leps in the teaser, it would be way to easy! It's called "Drawing the reader off of the question"
but im not even 2 feet yet and what is wrong with midgets?
hey if there was a little person reading this and they were only 2' tall it would not work

I gotta agree w/ the others.. It was kinda ez.. and if i get it, den itz not much of a riddle cuz i suck.
Too Easy!
Lol. Very Funny
The teaser never says that you are a normal human. You could very easily be a leprechaun too. Then one of the leprechauns could be taller than you.
My great grandfather was less than 2' tall. When he sat on a chair his little legs used to dangle over the edge. He was so short that even when he stood up, his feet still didn't reach the floor.
I'm part chinese so i'm going to be not so very tall. (i am over 4 feet though). And i'm also Irish.(just a little bit though).
very funny!
sam ting...idk why i said that
i agree with cliff!

With the assumption that "you" is not a leprechaun, your teaser is accurate.
However I am shorter than Bob and Brad. So since I'm shorter than them and they are both 2'5, then no one is tallest.

pretty good, I got that one.
The correct answer: Hopefully,you are.
mad-ade: He asked WHO is the tallest, not WHICH.
Great teaser! I got it within the first 5 secs.
