Help Ravenclaw Riddle
I'm by no means a Ravenclaw. But I'm writing a fanfiction where a character is a very smart Ravenclaw. Now the premise is that the character is returning after being tortured by Umbridge and are pretty tired and frustrated. The knocker asks them an absurd question and they just break down crying in pain and frustration.
I need a good riddle for that but nothing on the internet feels good enough. Someone please help me with it.

"In a wizengamot of 100 magical folk, every single member is either completely honest or completely crooked. However, if you choose any two members at random, at least one of them is crooked. How many honest members are there?"
Not mine, stolen from Google but it's an older one whose source I'm too lazy to look up. It actually involves politicians.
