Close, but no. The window is visible from outside the building

Cobra_69 05-02-2003 08:37 AM

Hey hobo have you ever thought that
the guy in the riddle is a window cleaner on the outside
of the building?

thats the answer.

Mojo 05-02-2003 01:56 PM

"Neither. It's a paradox and no acceptable answer exists. Don't think about this one too long... it'll hurt your brain."

Actually, the answer that is lying can be right... I mean... If he is telling the truth, then that would mean he lies, and then he aint telling the truth...

If he is lying, the sentence is logically...

This time he lies, but when you say "Everything I say to you is a lie", you can be lying... But that doesn't automatically means you're ALWAYS lying..., yer just lying this time...

paramiteabe 05-02-2003 03:56 PM

Like I said the answer is a paradox don't ask me I got that riddle out of a book I read once. But the paradox makes sense because there are infinite possiable ways with the riddle. He can be lieing or he can be telling you the truth but you don't know because he can be still lieing even when he says I am telling the truth. And then he can say I lie and really mean it but you still don't know because that too can be a lie thus resulting in a paradox of an infinite situation.

You see how it is? Its endless there is just no answer to the question everything he does you don't know whats true and whats not unless he told you but once again that can be a lie. You see theres is just no way out of this paradox.

Splat 05-04-2003 10:47 AM

I'll just ignore that one paraniteabe! Why is no one answering to mine? there good ones, really...

Adder 05-04-2003 02:18 PM

A few more
 
1. Bob was out sailing. A storm broke his mast and pushed his ship off course. The falling mast damaged his leg but he was able to swim to a nearby island. In an old hut he found a paraffin lamp and some matches. The paraffin was too low to touch the wick yet he used the lamp to signal another ship. How?

2. A man walks up to a counter with a book. The woman behind the counter scans the book and says “that will be £3.20” The man pays the woman and walks out without the book. The woman doesn’t stop him. Why?

3. Their are five misteaks in this sentance- use you’re eyes and find them all. |NO using MS word!!!
Solved

4. An ambulance was called out to a car crash. Seven cars and one truck were at the scene mangled yet there were only 2 drivers. Why?
Solved

5. “Top Hat” Tim followed a dog, a car and a boot. He stopped beside a hotel and was bankrupt. Why?
Solved

6. What volume of earth is in a 1m-cubed hole?

There, mistakes, sentence, your, -?

Maybe the truck was the truck that was carrying the cars.

Adder's fith mistake is that there is only 4 mistakes (another paradox doodaa for paramiteabe to trouble his mind on), the truck was a car carrier with 6 cars and the 7th car crashed in to the back or somethin like that,

:

2. A man walks up to a counter with a book. The woman behind the counter scans the book and says “that will be £3.20” The man pays the woman and walks out without the book. The woman doesn’t stop him. Why
perhaps (this one is a guess) he bought it and gave it to her as a present,

5. “Top Hat” Tim followed a dog, a car and a boot. He stopped beside a hotel and was bankrupt. Why?

Because he was havin a hard time in a game of monopoly (heard something like that before, only he got sent to jail), and i have no idea what number six is on about, and mine,

Well, it was.

As for the book, it's not a present.
A hint: The man forgot about the book for a few weeks.

Easy as hell.There are are five Is in the first sentence.In Their,five,misteaks,in,and this.
:

An explorer in a jungle somewhere runs in to a native tribe and is captured.
The chief of the tribe says that the man can make one last statement to decide his death. If it is true he will be tossed off a cliff. If it's false they will feed him to lions.
The clever explorer then comes up with a statement which forces them to set him free. What was his statement?
As for the explorer he said:"feed me to the lions"therfore is they did,it would be true and would have to be tossed off a cliff.If they didn't,he would have to be fed to the lions.And the guy was in a library and he had to pay for the overdue price.I'm clever huh?

Dragonlord3 05-09-2003 08:53 PM

He is mine:Theres a dead guy with a bullethole through his head in an empty office because he worked overtime.He had a bullethole but no bullet.There was no witnesses.All the doors were locked and the windows shut and locked also.The only clue was a bullet hole in the window.How'd he die?When you give up either ask for the hint or awnser

Joshy 05-10-2003 12:50 AM

Hint!!! me Stoopid

Dragonlord3 05-10-2003 02:35 AM

there
 
I need some ice in my drink,its not cold enough
there ya go

Joshy 05-10-2003 11:07 PM

Are they related???

Splat 05-12-2003 03:55 PM

Well that's one down.
 
Yeah, that one was right Dragonlord3. But can you work out this one:

How many cubic metres of earth are in a rectangular hole 6 metres deep, 4 metres lenghways and 3 metres in the width?

And don't forget

With thieves I consort.
With the vilest, in short.
I'm quite at my ease in depravity.
Yet all devines see me.
And savants can't loose me.
For I am the centre of gravity.
What am I?

Lets see ya get that one, and heres a hint,
thieves,
savants
devines.
It has nothing to do with what these people do or are.

Dragonlord3 05-12-2003 09:34 PM

None, cause its a hole!!! YES YES Finally got one (dances around waving his hands)

Native Poser 05-14-2003 05:11 PM

Try these:

What comes once in a minute, twice in a moment, but never in a thousand years?


What belongs to you, yet everyone else is always using it?

Splat 05-14-2003 05:43 PM

Well done Happyguy939, i guess that makes you a happy guy (whole room boos at Splat's pitiful attempt at comedy)
NP, Your first one,
:

What comes once in a minute, twice in a moment, but never in a thousand years?
Is the letter M
and your second
:

What belongs to you, yet everyone else is always using it?
Is your name, in your case, Native Poser,

I AM SO GOOD AT THESE!!!

Native Poser 05-14-2003 06:18 PM

Ya got both of them right Splat. What about this one?

What is so fragile that when you say its name you break it?

Native Poser 05-15-2003 04:46 AM

:

Many have fallen but none have died.
Many have lost me and restlessly cried.
Many have I taken eternally
And many I have denied.
Cant believe you guys havent gotten that one yet. Should I give the answer?

I think that the man was shot in the eye and then the bullet went through one part of the skull and then went right out the back of the head and then out the glass and well yeah or the man had his head on the wall by frustration of work and then a man got a bat with a nail on the end and then WHAM into his head creating the puncture

Dragonlord3 05-16-2003 12:00 PM

Ethan your wrong.
Ok heres the awnser:
He was show by an ice bullet and it melted in his head

Joshy 05-16-2003 09:50 PM

Ice bullet?, is it possible????

Splat 05-18-2003 03:18 PM

Ice bullet? Never heard that one before!

With thie-v-es I consort.
With the v-ilest, in short.
I'm quite at my ease in depra-v-ity.
Yet all de-v-ines see me.
And sa-v-ants can't loose me.
For I am the centre of gra-v-ity.
What am I?

Got it now? Man, you guys are slow (no offence!)

Here's one,
Whoever makes it, tells it not.
Whoever takes it, knows it not.
Whoever knows it, wants it not.
What is it?
(and it isn't a letter)

Native Poser 05-19-2003 03:12 AM

An answer? Ack! I'm gettn' rusty at this.. What about this one?

We are tiny creatures,
Each having unique features,
One of us set in glass,
One more you'll find in jet,
another of us you will see in tin,
And a another still set in perfect stone,
The fith of us is the one you should pursue,
it can never fly away from you...
...What are we?

Hobo 05-19-2003 03:19 PM

paramiteabe 05-19-2003 05:26 PM

This is a retarded Riddle!hehehe:lol::lol:


Whats Big and round and red all over?

Splat 05-21-2003 08:12 AM

NP and Hobo, you're both wrong, it's less obvious than that, and Paramiteabe, I don't even wanna know!

paramiteabe 05-21-2003 01:35 PM

A tomato on Steroids! Tada!:lol:


That was retarded!

Splat 05-22-2003 04:05 PM

Haha, no one tries my riddles anymore unless I deliberately make them easy. So, heres an easy one I guess...

I am only useful
When I am full,
Yet I am always
Full of holes...

Is counterfiet money!


Is NP's a sieve or a tea strainer?
Your only useful when you are full (of holes)
But you are always full of holes.
