I'm sorry. :( I just thought it was somewhat rude that other people were posting riddles, when mine wasn't even finished being solved. The nerve! :flames: So, I just gave up the answer because I feared that if I didn't, it'd be forgoten.

I have a similar one like the lying man riddle...

Imagine walking though a cave. Suddenly, you come to a fork. At the fork are two cavetrolls. One ALWAYS speaks the truth, while the other ALWAYS lies.
One tunnel leads to the exit, while the other leads to certain doom.

How do you know which tunnel to take?

Esus 06-04-2004 06:52 AM

Don't you ask each if the other one is lying?
I can't think properly at the moment, so I can't work out the outcome of that :(

Mojo 06-04-2004 07:48 AM

Nope, not the right answer.

Oddish 06-04-2004 09:52 AM

You ask both of them whats 2+2? And if that one says 4, then he always tell the truth.

Mojo 06-04-2004 10:32 AM

Heh, that's a way, but not the answer I'm looking for. After 2 more guesses, I'll give the answer.

Oddish 06-04-2004 10:48 AM

Give then a question wich is not a yes & no answer, and you know the answer. If that one who is right tells the truth, then you tell him wich way is the exit.

Another Riddle!
 
Heres another riddle!

Black we are, and much admired,
Men seek for us if they're tired.
We tire the horse, but comfort man,
Tell me this riddle if you can.


Do you know what it is? :fuzconf:

Mojo 06-05-2004 03:07 AM

Answer on my riddle: Ask the trolls this question: "What would the other troll say if you'd ask him what the right tunnel is?"

Imagine the good tunnel is the left one.

The liar would say the right one, he lies about the *good* troll, which would say the truth, and say left.

The troll which speaks the truth, will also say the right one, because that will be the answer from the lying troll.

So you have to take the other tunnel.


As for Ann Neely's riddle: Is the answer Oil?

ANN NEELY 06-05-2004 09:38 AM

I'm like, Discount Riddle Warehouse Over Here...
 
Close, but it's coal.
Ok, another riddle:

Black within
And Red without.
With four corners
Round about.


Do you know what it is? :fuzconf:

Mojo 06-05-2004 10:49 AM

Traffic Sign?

ANN NEELY 06-05-2004 11:44 AM

RIDDLE MASTER I AM!!!
 
Not even close, foolish mortal! J/k.
The answer is a chimney. It's black with ash on the inside and has red bricks on the outside and has four corners. Ok, heres another:

What force and strength cannot get through
I with a gentle touch can do,
And many in the street would stand
Were I not a friend at hand.

Do you know what it is? :fuzconf:

I thought I was good at riddles. Apparently I was wrong. I have one for you though.

Red as blood and sweet as wine,
my heart is hard but my flesh is fine.
What am I?

Fez 06-05-2004 10:26 PM

erm, a crab?

A cherry!!!!!!!!!OMFG LOLZ0R etc.

Silversnow 06-06-2004 10:47 AM

Yup, a cherry it is. Can't think of any more riddles right now.

Will anyone answer my riddle?!?

I'll attempt to... Is it a door?

....*fails miserably (sp)

ANN NEELY 06-06-2004 03:52 PM

Poink!
 
No, it's a key. You cannot get through a locked door with strength or force, but simply turning a key can unlock it. And if nobody had keys to their homes, they would be standing around in the street.
Ok, heres another:
Only one color, but not one size,
Stuck at the bottom, yet easily flies,
Present in sun, but not in rain,
Doing no harm, and feeling no pain.

What is it?

T-nex 06-06-2004 09:05 PM

The shadow?
