Double letters.

There is a frog, dead in the middle of the sea. If he swims north, the distance to the mainland is 2 metres. If he swims south, the distance to the mainland is 3 metres. If he swims east or west, the distance is 4 metres. Which way does he swim?

A young peasant wanted to marry the king's daughter. The king didn't like the idea of his daughter marrying a peasant, but he wanted to appear fair in front of his subjects. The king said that he would put two pieces of paper into a hat, one reading EXILE and the other reading MARRIAGE. Later that day, the peasant overheard the king saying that both pieces of paper would read EXILE, thus ensuring that the peasant would be out of his way for good. The peasant remained undaunted and, as arranged, arrived at the king's court where a large crowd gathered for the big event. The peasant then did something that assured him the hand of the king's daughter. What did he do?

He took both thus proving the King an old fraud...or eats one and that must be MARRY as there's an EXILE still in the hat!

Your turn Jooly! You evil puppy muncher you

I was going to say that, but that doesn't sound like the solution of a riddle. The second one sounds more like it..

Well, not quite.

He picks up one piece of paper and rips it up. He asks the King to give him the other piece. It says EXILE. Therefore the King must say that the other one that was ripped up says MARRIAGE.
