Whitout further introduction, I will start posting some riddles. When someone will give the correct answer, I will post the next one and so on. If for some reason it takes too long for the correct answer to be found, I will give more hints.
I will also edit the first post with all the answered riddles and their correct answer.

 

There is also a thread where player can post their own riddles, so that other players can answer.

This is the correct answer. She makes 7 cigarettes, smokes them, and then makes another one from the 7 buds left.

I know this is impossible to happen in real life, but bear with me :)
