To pass the time, riddles.

[shadowmaks]

I just thought of a new game to do. Someone will say a riddle and the next 5-10 people will answer. At the end that person will post the answer to it and chooses who will go next, within the people that got it right.

Okay, I'll give it a go.

There was a family of a Father, Mother, 3 children, and a butler. One day on a Sunday morning, the Father was found dead in his room. The police came and asked the family members what they were doing this morning.
The Mother said that she was in the kitchen, cooking.
The children said they were outside, playing.
The butler said he was out getting the mail.
Who killed the Father and why you think so.

Good Luck!

[fazenda]

the butler

there is no mail on sunday

[shadowmaks]

....you got it. Since you are the only one that even replied, you can go next. Oh yeah, in the remote chance, that no one gets the right answer, the person that asked the riddle would go again. Also, if the riddler does not reply with 12 hours, it will be considers free game so anyone can post a riddle. The first one to will be counted even if there are like over 5 or 10.
Thanks for giving it a try.

[ruthven]

haha that was good! i love riddles, i shall have to keep watch of this thread.

[fazenda]

try this 1

A black dog stands in the middle of an intersecton in a town painted black. None of the street lights are working due to a power failure caused by a storm. A car with two broken headlights drives towards the dog but turns in time to avoid hitting him. How could the driver have seen the dog in time?

[saprintha]

was it because it wasn't night time?

[analogZero]

perhaps he was just turning right at the intersection? or more likely, what saprintha said.

[animegurl7]

was it because it wasn't night time?

is it?????

[fejknick]

is it?????

It has to be. That or if the riddler is a christian it was an act of god....

[fazenda]

it was about it not being an night so saprintha (http://www.animefuel.com/forum/member.php?u=7817) can go next

[ddrizz]

its been more than 12 hours... i have one

A rich man named Stuart Laidlaw had been counting his money.
When he finished, he accidentally left a $1000.00 bill on his
desk but when he returned for it a short while later, it was
gone. Only two other persons could have seen the bill. One was
the cook; the other was the gardener. The cook told him that she
had hidden it for safekeeping under a green book that was on the
desk. But when they looked the bill was not there. The gardener
said he had found the bill where the cook had left it. He had
placed it inside the book, where he thought there was less
chance that somebody would find it. He had written down the page
numbers so that he would not forget them. The bill was between
pages 45 and 46, he said. But when they looked, there was no
money in the book. After Mr. Laidlaw had talked to the cook and
the gardener, he called the police. He was sure he knew who had
taken the money. Who was it, and how did he know?

[shadowmaks]

I think it was no one. It could have gotten stuck on the green book and blended in. It happens to me in books so why not.

[fazenda]

well i think that it was the gardener because pages 45 and 46 would usually be printed on the same page, the gardener corroborated the cook's story and in the riddle the gardener was the last to see it

[animex09]

well i think that it was the gardener because pages 45 and 46 would usually be printed on the same page, the gardener corroborated the cook's story and in the riddle the gardener was the last to see it

damn, I was just about to say that then I refreshed the page and you had an answer

[fazenda]

I think it was no one. It could have gotten stuck on the green book and blended in. It happens to me in books so why not.


the why not is that if Stuart Laidlaw knew it was taken and called the police, and the riddle is asking how he knew

[ddrizz]

correct-o-mundo fazenda

[fazenda]

so who goes next

not me i already went once. to be fair animex was about the closest and he is online

[fejknick]

I don't care who goes. I want my brain training!

::D:

[Anime_Dude]

I will go next

What is it that is deaf, dumb and blind and always tells the truth?

[fazenda]

the bathroom scale

[Anime_Dude]

the bathroom scale

nope, keep thinking

[fejknick]

Is it a mirror?

[Anime_Dude]

Is it a mirror?

yep u got it right

[fejknick]

What is so one-sided that it must be the complete opposite of what it actually is?

If i could i would want a followup question to this one after. :) But i cant write it since the answer is not yet known.
Ohh, and if you google it please don't post the answer.

[fazenda]

obamas election?


lol just a joke

[fejknick]

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

That made me laugh out loud, and my girlfriend is sleeping. Hahaha.

[shiro]

wall of the room?

[analogZero]

christ, it's a mirror again isn't it.

[fejknick]

christ, it's a mirror again isn't it.

Nope. The mirror always show the truth you know. ;)

[fejknick]

wall of the room?

Nope.

How long until i haver to tell the answer?

[shiro]

i think is a LIE

[fejknick]

i think is a LIE

Nope. A lie is already faulty.

[saprintha]

is it your brain because your left side of the brain controls the right of your body, and your right controls your left.

[fejknick]

is it your brain because your left side of the brain controls the right of your body, and your right controls your left.

No (but a good guess), your left side of the brain is equal to your right. Its the same mass and angle. I'ts just like a reflection.

Should i post a clue?

[analogZero]

Nope. The mirror always show the truth you know. ;)

actually a mirror's reflection is flipped. it shows an altered vision of the self. That's why people don't like pictures of themselves, they're too used to what they see in the mirror.
so! a mirror reflects on one side, but shows you something which is in opposition to what you truly are. mirror's lie:mad:

my initial thought was 'bias', but that doesn't seem right.

Yeah, maybe thats true, but is it then so one sided that it has to be the opposite?

[shadowmaks]

AAHH. This hurts my head too much. Maybe it's not an object so could it just be the person?

[fejknick]

AAHH. This hurts my head too much. Maybe it's not an object so could it just be the person?

Nope, no person.

Heres a clue: It has the mathematical property of being non-orientable. It is also a ruled surface.

[fazenda]

well it has been long enough that you can put up a new riddle since this one isn't getting solved anytime soon.

[fejknick]

A man is six feet tall, is a clerk at a butcher shop, and wears size 11 shoes. What does he weigh?

[fejknick]

This is what the answer to the other one was: ANSWER TO THE LAST ONE (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Möbius_strip)

[zanjii]

A man is six feet tall, is a clerk at a butcher shop, and wears size 11 shoes. What does he weigh?

he weighs meat?

[fejknick]

OFC he does. :D

A picture shows the same thing a mirror does.:serious:

[analogZero]

A picture shows the same thing a mirror does.:serious:

compare a head on face pic to your reflection. you'll notice the difference easier if you've got a mole or something distinguishable on one side of your face. left is right and right is left in a mirror.

anyhow, we be needin' a new riddle, zanjii.

[shadowmaks]

Well, it's been over 12 hours since the winner(Zanjii) replied

It is nighttime. Your friend dares you to go into a haunted house. No one has entered this house in over 20 years. You walk up and open the door. The doors close shut behind you and you can't get out. You try to find a way out but it's hard see since there is a black out. After exploring a little you find skeletons everywhere and go through some rooms. You find a man in one room. He said,"I will help you get out but first you must choose one of these.
He points to poison, an electric chair, and a knife he is holding.
Which do you choose and not die?

[fazenda]

the chair because there is a blackout

[fejknick]

Fazenda must be right.

[shadowmaks]

Yup, your right. So, I guess you are up next fazenda.

[fejknick]

Yup, your right. So, I guess you are up next fazenda.

And with a hard one this time. HARD HARD HARD one.

And so on...

[fazenda]

the first time i tried it, it was hard

i guess you put the next riddle

for those that didn't get it i will post the reason why his answer was right

What row of numbers comes next in this series?
1
"11" stands for "one 1"
"21"stands for two 1's
"1211" stands for "one 2 and one 1"
they all describe the numbers above so if you look at it like that you can easily get it

[saprintha]

it's been 12 hours. i'll go next.

you are in a house with no windows or openings. only a metal locked door. all that was in the room was a piano, a table, and a baseball bat. how do you get out?

[fejknick]

it's been 12 hours. i'll go next.

Im guessing there is 4 walls and a roof?

[Kidou33]

Rofl well...what i would do is pull one of the metal cords in the piano...and picklock my way out..in case this is wrong i just have this theory that you'd have to play the piano until someone comes in looking for ya..

[analogZero]

you open the door and walk out. it's metal locked, meaning the lock is made of metal, but that's not to say that it's actually locked.

[fejknick]

you open the door and walk out. it's metal locked, meaning the lock is made of metal, but that's not to say that it's actually locked.

So if you're right, the there would be impossible to get out if it were locked?
Though break.

[fazenda]

i herd a similar riddle and all the answers where moronic

(#1 you open the Dore with a key from the piano "piano key")

(#2 you break the table in half, hold both half's up to the wall ,2 half's make a whole "hole")

[fejknick]

hahahahahaha. nr 2 was so stupid.

[analogZero]

it's already whole, so why break it? aside from the fun of messing the place up before you leave.

[saprintha]

don't know. never really thought of that.

well technically your are right for number one, it's you have to play the piano for the right key, but i guess it's sort of the same, but i can't give you the full credit since you haven't gotten it all right.

[fejknick]

don't know. never really thought of that.

So number 1 was the right answer? Or is the game still on?

[saprintha]

So number 1 was the right answer? Or is the game still on?

oh it's still on. to give you guys a hint there are 3 answers. you got the first 2.

[fejknick]

Aight.

You take the baseball bat and make a base, then you take the bat and fly out of there. ^^

[fazenda]

you take the bat and miss the dore 3 times

3 strikes and your out

[saprintha]

Aight.

You take the baseball bat and make a base, then you take the bat and fly out of there. ^^

haha funnie but not the right answer. fazenda got it. but since you have 2/3 correct you get to go next!

you take the bat and miss the dore 3 times

3 strikes and your out

yes you are right. but since fejknick got 2/3 of the answers correct, and you only got one, he goes next.

[fejknick]

Haha okay, then here i go.

The number
87997624219595195889080181661276856694380517022641 06178233018654160035145466841116403313564904556907 66475339038983303063831818394885482954417406863802 34035754039702180802720961088407615891551933412535 3771492981
is the sum of 2 prime numbers, which?

[fazenda]

WTF kind of riddle is that!!!!!!!!!?

[saprintha]

well i don't know but i have a feeling the numbers that adds up to that number are big right?

[fejknick]

well i don't know but i have a feeling the numbers that adds up to that number are big right?

Could be and could be 1 small and a big one.

Since its not a riddle in the riddle kinda way ill give you a clue.
The number you have is a odd number. So both of the primes need to be even. :)
And if you want me to change the riddle then ill find a new one. :)

[fazenda]

math hurts my brain

plz find a new 1

Why does hobbits laugh when they play soccer?

EDIT: The answer was btw:

ohhhhh... lol! duh! *hand smacks head* of course. that wasn't really hard if you thought about it.

[fazenda]

ok its been long enough so here's mine

Imagine you are in a room with 3 switches. In an adjacent room there are 3 bulbs (let's say in lamps which are on a table), each switch belongs to one bulb. All are off at the moment. It is impossible to see from one room to another. No help from anybody else is allowed.
How can you find out which switch belongs to which bulb, if you may enter the room with the bulbs only once?

[RainOfWolf]

This may be a dumb question, but can you move the lamps to the room with the switches?

[fazenda]

This may be a dumb question, but can you move the lamps to the room with the switches?


dumb question but do you think the cords are long enough

(you can't take them to the other room)

[analogZero]

well if this was in real life. I'd turn one on for a few minutes, turn it off, then turn another on. when you enter the room, one will be on (the one you left on), one will be warm (the first one you turned on and then turned off), and the other will be from the switch you didn't touch.

[RainOfWolf]

That has to be it...Wow, that was what I had been trying to come up with...Good job

[fazenda]

well if this was in real life. I'd turn one on for a few minutes, turn it off, then turn another on. when you enter the room, one will be on (the one you left on), one will be warm (the first one you turned on and then turned off), and the other will be from the switch you didn't touch.
you got it so you put the next riddle

[analogZero]

My liberty flows like the strength of a river.
And while my freedom is often at your fingertips,
if you free me I become your slave.
Think me a pessimist and you might know my name.

[shiro]

pen or ballpen i think

[analogZero]

hey, props for guessing, but I'm afraid not. I guess it's been a week or something like that, so I can always give the answer and fire off another one.

the sphinx riddle is interpreted as a metaphore. the times of the day are meant to represent the stages of life. the morning being childhood, afternoon being adulthood, and the evening being old age.
Oedipus is the one who originally solves the puzzle and makes the sphinx kick the bucket as a result.

a riddle is a mental puzzle that uses you're ability to pay attention as a way of making you think about the little parts of the question.

not a philosophy lesson

and the riddle asker didn't say that it was the sphinx riddle, the answerer did

[analogZero]

well I'm just sayin' that pretty much word for word it's the sphinx riddle, and the known answer happens to be a human being. A lot of classic riddles run with metaphores and symbolism and other misleading logic. It's just another way of pointing your mind in the wrong direction.
the gordian knot is a fair example of a riddle that was solved through sheer arrogance and frustration rather than contemplative analysis. I could never tie one on the internet, so wiki it if interested.

[saprintha]

okay let's get this thread going again:

There once was an evil wizard. He took 3 woman from their homes and turned them into rose bushes that looked exactly alike. He put them in his garden. One of the woman had a husband and children and begged the wizard to let her see them. He agreed. At night, he brought the woman to her house. In the morning he came and took her home. One day the husband decided to go rescue her. So he snuck into the wizard's garden. He looked and looked at the 3 identical rose bushes trying to figure out which could be his wife. Suddenly, he knew the answer and he took his wife home. How did he know which rose bush was his wife?

[fazenda]

it was the one that had bean dug up?

[Nightmare]

well I think I've got it the answer is that his wife wasn't a rose bush at all.

what is the answer

[saprintha]

i'll post the answer tomorrow. i'll give some time for other to guess if they feel like it.

[analogZero]

I have a couple possibilities here:

the one in the pot!
he had to transport the rose bush somehow, and if he's as lazy as I am, he wouldn't be bothered to re-transfer it again.

the one that bloomed.
this one's kinda retarded sounding, but with flowers being the reproductive organs of plants, perhaps dear wife wanted some action.

[saprintha]

I have a couple possibilities here:

lol! haha funnie but no. here's the answer:

The wizard brought the rosebush to her home at night and returned her to the garden in the morning. Therefore, she was the only plant without dew.

i admit it was pretty hard. but very good guesses everyone!::D:

anyone could go next. i have a feeling i won't post for a while.

this gives me the feeling that it didn't happen on the same day that he took the bush back

The wizard brought the rosebush to her home at night and returned her to the garden in the morning. Therefore, she was the only plant without dew.how could that possibly be the answer

[analogZero]

you gotta hook up some clues on the climate if the answer's like that.

how about this one. I saw it somewhere a while back.

there are 10 kinds of people in the world. what are they?

[saprintha]

well i got it off from this site that i saw once.

[puppetz]

Brad stared through the dirty soot-smeared window on the 22nd floor of the office tower. Overcome with depression he slid the window open and jumped through it. It was a sheer drop outside the building to the ground. Miraculously after he landed he was completely unhurt. Since there was nothing to cushion his fall or slow his descent, how could he have survived the fall?

[analogZero]

he landed on a ledge or terrace just below the 22nd floor. he couldn't see out the window to what waited below, so who's to say that he didn't land on a window washer at the 21st floor? working his way upward of course, haha.

Brad stared through the dirty soot-smeared window on the 22nd floor of the office tower. Overcome with depression he slid the window open and jumped through it. It was a sheer drop outside the building to the ground. Miraculously after he landed he was completely unhurt. Since there was nothing to cushion his fall or slow his descent, how could he have survived the fall?

Uhm, maybe he was in another building. He looked though the window so he might have been looking at it from the outside. Then, "he slid the window open", but it doesn't clarify which window, and it also says "outside the building" but which building again? So, he might have been in a short building looking up the tower!

Edit: something is fishy though with the "dirty soot-smeared window"!

[analogZero]

my answer backwards then. he's on the outside and jumps in. He's the window washer, depressed by his job he's decided to quit!

[leshinor]

my answer backwards then. he's on the outside and jumps in. He's the window washer, depressed by his job he's decided to quit!

That might be but he said "a sheer drop outside the building". Damn it's a hard one! ::D:

[puppetz]

my answer backwards then. he's on the outside and jumps in. He's the window washer, depressed by his job he's decided to quit!

ah man did you google it? well you got it right.

[analogZero]

I ran with the close call being the window washing.

I expect supported proof for this one:

What is half of 2+2?

[fazenda]

i wounder i wounder


is it 1+1

[sweetdream]

thats what i was going to say:mad:
:moon:

[analogZero]

not quite. these should help

()

[Nightmare]

is it (2+2)*.5 this could also be written as (2+2)/2

[Alrenta]

i would say 1/2(2+2)= 1+1= 2
so the answer would be 2?

[Nightmare]

you just said the same thing as me. just written differently.

[Alrenta]

lol im not big on maths it gives me a headache.....
i actually had no idea (2+2)/2 was another equasion of what i posted
so please excuse me if it seemed like i copied you i honestly didnt

[Nightmare]

no it's cool.

[analogZero]

improper wording is the key.

try:
(half of 2) + 2 = 3

Here's something better:

All day long, it's in and out.
I discharge loads from my shaft.
Both men and women go down on me.
What am I?

[Alrenta]

a bathroom toilet?

[Nightmare]

a sewage pipe.

[analogZero]

afraid not.
you've likely ridden this shaft more than once, I'm sure.

[leshinor]

I have heard this one before but i wont say the answer cause it would be unfair!

[SmokedBoo]

It's an elevator.

[analogZero]

ding ding.
gots it.

[SmokedBoo]

I am a 6 letter word.
Letters 6-5-2 spell out a drink.
Letters 4-5-2-3 spell out a fruit.
Letters 1-2-6 spell out a pet.
Letters 3-2-6 spell out a pest, which often gets eaten by 1-2-6.
What am I?

[analogZero]

carpet!!!!

[SmokedBoo]

Darn that was rather fast. You cheater!! :pissed:
I really did guess at yours. :eyes:

CARPET.
6-5-2: tea
4-5-2-3: pear
1-2-6: cat
3-2-6: rat

[analogZero]

Pronounced as one letter, and written with three. two letters there are, And two only in me. I'm double, I'm single, I'm black blue and gray. I'm read from both ends, And the same either way.

[SmokedBoo]

Um... eye?

[analogZero]

BLAST!!!
I thought that one would've been a stumper.
go.

[SmokedBoo]

There is a seven-letter word in the English language that contains ten words without rearranging any of its letters." What is the word?

[analogZero]

crap, i've heard this before...hold tight...gotta think...um...crap...this isn't over

[SmokedBoo]

MWUAHAHAHAHA!!!

[analogZero]

HAHA, I remember!

therein!

therein, the, there, herein, her, here, ere, rein, i, in
hazaah for my slow paced memory!

[SmokedBoo]

Correct. -__-

"therein": the,there, he, in, rein, her, here, ere, therein, herein.

[analogZero]

Name a five letter English word whose pronunciation doesn't change if you take away 4 of it's letters.

[Beastking]

damn...you got me...i dunno... ^_^

[Nightmare]

seven or 7

[analogZero]

good thinking, but wrong idea. you'll be left with one letter, not a number.

[SmokedBoo]

*Fanfare* Queue!

[analogZero]

fan unfair. dammit. go

[SmokedBoo]

Forward I am heavy, backward I am not.

[fazenda]

pushing a broken down car uphill. heavy

rolling a broken down car downhill. not

[Alrenta]

hmm.. by any chance is it a ton?

a ton is heavy but spelt backwards is not
therefore not isn't a weight measure or something?

*gets dizzy from thinking to much*

[analogZero]

or the word "heavy". spelled forward it's h-e-a-v-y, but backwards it isn't.
alrenta's answer is better tho.

[SmokedBoo]

Actually, faz got it first. But it is "not".

NEXT!

[Alrenta]

is slighty confuzzled by the answer but awaits next riddle*

[analogZero]

Well with time passed, I'm going to add Einstein's riddle to our fun loving game.

There are 5 houses in 5 different colors. In each house lives a person with a different nationality. The 5 owners each drink a certain type of beverage, smoke a certain brand of cigar, and keep a certain pet. No owners have the same pet, smoke the same brand of cigar/cigarettes, or drink the same beverage.

The question is: Who owns the turtle?

Hints:

* The Japanese man lives in the pink house.
* The Frenchman drinks juice.
* The man who keeps the cat lives next to the man who smokes DuMaurier.
* The red house is on the left of the purple house.
* The red homeowner drinks water.
* The person who smokes phillies rears dogs.
* The American lives in the first house.
* The man who smokes cuban's has a neighbor who drinks coffee.
* The owner of the green house smokes DuMaurier.
* The man living in the center house drinks wine.
* The man who smokes cuban's lives next to the one who keeps ferets.
* The American lives next to the orange house.
* The Brit keeps lizards as pets.
* The owner who smokes Camel drinks iced tea.
* The Canadian smokes Marlboro.

I replaced the nationalities, brands, pets, house colours, and drinks from the original riddle, but the answer still lies in the same spot. einstein boasted that only 2% of people can solve this. It's got no tricks, just logic. enjoi!

[SmokedBoo]

Oh, very nice. You have made it absolutely impossible for someone to cheat on this one. Damn it all! My brain hurts now! ><

[leshinor]

Umm, is it the Canadian guy???


For all those that didn't solve it yet, DON'T LOOK!

[analogZero]

granted it's still possible to cheat, I just made it so you have to do work regardless.
for those who want a challenge, press on. otherwise leshinor, do your worst.

ps. what colour is his house? hmm? jk

[leshinor]

granted it's still possible to cheat, I just made it so you have to do work regardless.

ps. what colour is his house? hmm? jk

Whaaat? So is it right? :oo:

[SmokedBoo]

No one will ever know the proof of the matter!!! Whahahahahaha!!!!

[Pandora]

Damn you Boo! Ugh. I just figured it out too. Gah, I knew I shouldn't have taken a shower. I'm depressed now.

[analogZero]

well leshinor did get the answer right, but since smokedboo actually went to the effort to provide proof I now submit that whichever one of you manages to post a new riddle first wins.

[SmokedBoo]

I turn polar bears white, and I will make you cry.
I make guys have to pee, and girls comb their hair.
I make celebrities look stupid, and normal people look like celebrities.
If you squeeze me, I'll pop. If you look at me, you'll pop.
I turn pancakes brown, and make your champagne bubble.

Have at it analog! *shakes fist angrily*

[Pandora]

It is time or words.

[analogZero]

I've seen this before too, and if I remember correctly then Pandora beat me to the punch. I also argued once that "pressure" fits the bill here too.
most popular answer is "time".

[leshinor]

Hmm, maybe pressure but I am not sure about the last lines there!
So, next riddle!!! I can't wait!!!

The Einstein one was great! Thanks analog! Made my head hurt at first but once you get going it becomes easy!!!

[SmokedBoo]

TIME

The time has come, winter is here and those yellow bears disappear.
The time ha past as man looks back with a sigh, and a tear in his eye.
As time is held, boys cross their legs, but of course, the toilet begs.
As time marches on, girls lose their blush and swap a comb with a brush.
As time passes for those held high, thier time is nigh.
As time catches up, everyone is equal when we get to the final sequel.
As time turns, without it we have flour and water; with it we have breakfast for my daughter.
As time revolves, how does one turn water and wine into something so fine?
As time runs out, the more in a minute you try and squeeze, the less you can do with ease.
As time ticks, all the time that has past amn cannot comprehend something so vast.

is this even a riddle

if it is more than some type of poem, tell us what the point of this riddle is.

[analogZero]

is this even a riddle

if it is more than some type of poem, tell us what the point of this riddle is.

all I remember of this is that it's a riddle based off an old poem. essentially it'd sound retarded to anyone who doesn't give a crap about/ has never heard the poem before.

no one going? ok.

I have an apple in a tin can. what am I drinking?

[xantok]

wtf... a porm riddle.. thats wierd

[Sarmondia]

Hmmm... Apple Cider...?
Or maybe applesauce. Wow I am horrible at these riddles...

[analogZero]

if you read xkcd then might know

[sUnakO..]

none??..lol, am i correct?.

[analogZero]

keep at it.

[SmokedBoo]

Snapple!
http://xkcd.com/18/

[analogZero]

yum, delicious snapple.

sn=tin on the periodic table
therefore sn + apple= snapple!

[Pandora]

I love xkcd comics. There's also The Adventures of Doctor McNinja and Cyanide and Happiness.

[analogZero]

k, smoked, where's the next riddle that I'm totally going to annihilate?

[SmokedBoo]

Alright, are you ready Analog?

What English word is nine letters long, and can remain an English word at each step as you remove one letter at a time, right down to a single letter. List the letter you remove each time and the words that result at each step.

[analogZero]

the plural of plainest!
gimme a sec.

[Gerome07]

Wat can be dry and wet at the same time the answer lies in the scrabbled word aneco

[analogZero]

a martini. sorry I was looking at the name Gin.
I've heard "what can be wet and dry at the same time?" a towel is the answer to that one, but with dry being before wet it doesn't work. the only word I'm getting from aneco is ocean.
and smokedboo, hold tight I think I'm on to something here.

[SmokedBoo]

Analog I'm getting giddy with anticipation. :dancing:
Hurry up!

[Gerome07]

Zero ur nice at answering riddles

[analogZero]

Analog I'm getting giddy with anticipation. :dancing:

what spends it's time in a corner, but travels the world?

and sorry, one more just for you smokedboo:

take away the whole and you're left with some. what is it?

[SmokedBoo]

Ooooh you..... >.<

[analogZero]

curls fingers and laughs toward the sky.

[wi_sam]

what spends it's time in a corner, but travels the world?

it's either a signature or a stamp, no ??

edit: or is it the letter "R" ?



take away the whole and you're left with some. what is it?

wholesome - whole = some

[analogZero]

bam, you beat smokedboo to the punch. and there's only enough punch for one.
as for the first, it's a stamp.
fire away!

[SmokedBoo]

Congrats, Sam. This saved me the trouble of thinking about it. Hahaha

[wi_sam]

what's broken every time it's spoken?

[analogZero]

Jenny shot her husband, held him under water, then she finally hung him. Yet five minutes later her husband was standing in her living room waiting for her. How is this possible?

[SmokedBoo]

This one sounds so easy, yet I have to think about the easy answer. >.< Damn it!

[wi_sam]

Umm..... Shot, as in took a photo of him.
Held, as in hugged.
Hung........ pinned him - as in pressed - to the wall or something?? or maybe positioned him in a certain way??

[leshinor]

Umm..... Shot, as in took a photo of him.

oh thats nice! About the last one you could say she hanged up the phone or smth like that...

[wi_sam]

oh thats nice! About the last one you could say she hanged up the phone or smth like that...

lol ....that's it.

cracked !

[analogZero]

you're on the right track, sam. hint number 1. all 3 actions are related.

[wi_sam]

Yeah, I figured.
1- shot: took a photo of him.

2- held him underwater:put the photo under the water to .....develope it

3- hung him: hung his photo on the wall

[SmokedBoo]

Probably hung his photo up to dry. I don't think she would put it directly up on the wall after development.

[wi_sam]

eventually she would hang it on the wall, no big deal ;)

[analogZero]

bingo.

[SmokedBoo]

A man had twelve toothpicks in front of him. He took one away. Now he had nine in front of him. How is this possible?

[analogZero]

the toothpicks are laid out in the shape of the number 9

[SmokedBoo]

Well, the shape of the letters in the word NINE, but close enough. >.>

[analogZero]

well this isn't necessarily a riddle, but I came across it while trying to look up a good one. This passage taken from the book "Gatsby" written by Ernest Vincent Wright has something very unusual about it. Can you find out what is so unusual about it? It looks so ordinary you'd think nothing was wrong with it - and in fact, nothing is wrong with it. So why is it unusual?


"Gatsby was walking back from a visit down in Branton Hill's manufacturing district on a Saturday night. A busy day's traffic had had its noisy run; and with not many folks in sight, His Honour got along without having to stop to grasp a hand, or talk; for a mayor out of City Hall is a shining mark for any politician. And so, coming to Broadway, a booming bass drum and sounds of singing, told of a small Salvation Army unit carrying on amidst Broadway's night shopping crowds. Gatsby , walking towards that group, saw a youg girl, back toward him, just finishing a long, soulful oration ... "

[wi_sam]

It doesn't have any "E"s ??

[analogZero]

the most commonly used letter in the english language!

[SmokedBoo]

I have no clue. o.O

[analogZero]

Sam's got it. in the entirety of that passage, the most commonly used letter in the english language isn't even used once. A little unusual.

[SmokedBoo]

Oh yes, now I see. XD lol Nice one.

[wi_sam]

That was a just wild guess, from a first reading of the passage. XP

Ok, here's another one:

A cowboy rode into town on Friday, stayed three days, and rode out again on Friday.
How did he do that?

[fazenda]

the name of his horse is friday

[cutieB]

awesome faz never would have thought of that.

[leshinor]

Wow man, you are incredible!!! So, your avi really matches you huh!?!

[cutieB]

lol i agree it does faz.

[starscream]

I think it's cute

[wi_sam]

good job fazenda, thats right =)

it's your turn now.

[fazenda]

this is similar to another riddle on here, what is the answer

What is the beginning of eternity,
The end of time and space,
The beginning of every end
And the end of every race?

[wi_sam]

It's the "e"

[fazenda]

Well I guess it was way too easy. You got it.

[cutieB]

you're both really smart :happy:

[wi_sam]

A large truck is crossing a bridge 1 mile long. The bridge can only hold 14000 lbs, which is the exact weight of the truck. The truck makes it half way across the bridge and stops. A bird lands on the truck. Does the bridge collapse? Give a reason.

It's not hard, just think.

[leshinor]

Oh i would love to say the bridge would not fall because the bird is too light to make a difference but this is hypothetical problem so even one lb would be sufficient to make a difference. This being said, the obvious conclusion is that the bridge will fall but I seriously doubt that this is the correct choice...

[wi_sam]

This being said, the obvious conclusion is that the bridge will fall but I seriously doubt that this is the correct choice...

read the text, and analyze every part.

[leshinor]

Well can the bridge sustain 14000 lbs everywhere or can it sustain more in the middle because of elasticity (depends on what kind of bridge it is)?

[xJumpJetx]

No it wont cuz the truck would have lose some of the gas since he already drove half mile which means he's got less weight now. xD

[wi_sam]

No it wont cuz the truck would have lose some of the gas since he already drove half mile which means he's got less weight now. xD

ding! ding! we have a winner !

See? it wasn't that hard :)

[xJumpJetx]

lol t'was a trick question... xD

moar pl0x...tis pretty entertaining...

[wi_sam]

It's your turn to tease our brains.

No, I wanna go! Haven't been here in a while it seems....

this is my first time playing this game. someone give me a little info.

[Dark_Geass]

so one day someone report hearing somthing slam in a house the police check and find aman in the closet hung theres no chaur or anything just a puddle of water how did he hang himself

[fazenda]

for smokedboo, the answer is e n t, the first letter of the numbers 1-10.

for dark_geass the answer is that he stood on ice.

I have a hundred legs, but cannot stand.
I have a long neck, but no head.
I cannot see, but I'm neat and tidy as can be.
What am I?

you r a broom



two coins make 30 cents and one of them is not a nickel what are they

[fazenda]

you got mine right

and almost everyone knows the answer to yours

but I will not answer it just to see if anyone gets it wrong.

[SmokedBoo]

Just two types of coins? If it's types then it's a quarter ($0.25) and five pennies ($0.05)
