Riddles?
 

Got any good riddles? Try this one

What becomes increasingly wet as it dries?

I dunno, heres a riddle though;

You're plain just crashed and you are the only survivor. You find shelter in a dark cave but you only have one match. You have a kerosine lamp, a pike of sticks, and a candle, which do you light first?

Oddling l:c l

The match :cool:

This box,
has no key or lid,
but golden treasure,
inside is hid.


30 white horses,
on a red hill,
first they champ,
them they stamp,
then they stand still.

The first one is a dragon egg. Duh, I have that game. I heard the second one before but don't know what it is.

Oddling l:c l

Chessnuts is the answer to the first I think?

Edit: The second I believe would be teeth. I heard both riddles from The Hobbit

The first one wasnt from a game, and egg was a simple enough answer.

Edit: Damn you ya Poser! You wernt supposed to say it if you read the book!

:blush: Sorry, How about this one?

For every one of them you take, you leave one behind

What runs but never walks. Has a mouth but never talk.

Re: Riddles?
 

Grant Towell?

If it takes a week to walk a fortnight, how many eggs in a barrel of plums?

Here is one 4 you guys and laddies....



There is many great hackers or crackers out there but what happend to the teacher...?


Also...

Why is it the people that say dont worry anbout your apearenc that are always worrying about theres...?

Re: Riddles?
 

Got it, a towel. For native poser's question, footsteps, for happyguy936's question, a river, I think. Heres another one.

What walks on four legs in the morning, two legs in the afternoon, and three legs at night?

Oddling l:c l

The answer is man, oddling.

What gets bigger the more you take away?

Yes, it was a towel. As for GK's riddle, is it a hole? Try these two:

You use a knife to slice my head, and
weep beside me when I am dead.


I never was, am always to be,
No one ever saw me, nor ever will
And yet I am the confidence of all
To live and breathe on this terrestrial ball

What the hell, the first one isn't even a real riddle. And for the second one, thats not a riddle either... do you even know what a riddle is? Geez...

EDIT: And o yea, Native Poser, is the answer to your first one an onion? I damn suck at riddles, but its my best guess...

And for your second one, I'd put something cheesy like hope, but that just sounds... dumb. Like I said, I damn suck at riddles:|

Yeah Native Poster it is a hole.
Why is a raven like a writing desk?
I don't actually kbow the answer though...just wondered why IS a raven like a writing desk?

Re: Re: Riddles?
 

I've never liked this one: It doesn't really make sence. I know the explanation: Babies walk on four legs (crawling), adults walk on two legs (two legs), and old people have walking sticks, making three. But here's the bit that is stupid: People don't have their whole lives in one day!

The life of the wife is ended by the knife.
Ok I heard that on Family Guy.

Re: Re: Re: Riddles?
 

It's just a metaphor. The early years of live are morning, the middle afternoon, and the evening the end.

Majic_Abe got my first one, it was an onion. But the second wasn't hope, Good guess though!

Bad guess -> Is it life?

Here's one, can't remember anything but this line.

It travels all over the world and still it stays right beside you.

Is it (a) Shadow(s)? And no the answer to mine wasn't life.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Riddles?
 

No! Metaphors are stupid! They aren't real! Similes, not theres something that's true, as they say 'like', they don't change things!

I heard that from jackey chan addventures. it is a river.

footsteps.

your lungs get bigger as you suck away the air in a balloon.

Human.

:smokin: Ethan :cool:

Try this one:

Many have fallen but none have died.
Many have lost me and restlessly cried.
Many have I taken eternally
And many I have denied.

I'm not to sure about this one but i think that is has to deal with a relacionship

many relacionships have fallen ,but have not died.
many lost loved ones ,and constantly cried.
they take eternity to find another one, but they've been denied

:smokin: Ethan :cool:

Erm...nah dont think so, never heard that one before.

Allright heres one,

It was here in the begining, and will be here in the end,
it is more powerful than a bear, and weaker than a kitten
it is greater than great, and lesser than less,
and if you eat it, you will die.

Oddling l:c l

Ack! I know I've heard this one....but never solved it... :fuzsad:

Nope, but it was a good guess... A very good guess.

I know the answer, and I have a similar riddle with the same answer:


What is more powerfull than God?
More Evil than the Devil
The poor have it
The rich don't want it
If you eat it you will die

( I think there's more but thats enough to get it)

It's nothing.

What plant will be your death if you sit under it for ten minutes?

Well, since no one has gotten this one & no one seems to want to try to answer this anymore...Shall I give you guys the answer?
I havent given up on the other riddle I posted though, that one is too easy.

Is that one God?

How's this?

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?


And here's another,

Every creature in the world has seen me, but to their dying day they'll never see me again.
What am I?


Work those out and I'll post some more.

Oh, and is silversnow's a chemical plant?

Nah, it wasnt god. The answer was tomarrow.

"What plant will be your death if you sit under it for ten minutes?"

Waterlily...


Whats white, cold and if you eat it, you die...

What's black, and if you throw it out of a tree, then your tv is broken?

Whats black, and if you eat is, you die?

Here is some good riddles!

1. What state is surrounded by the most water?

2. What row of numbers comes next?
This is a tough one!
1
11
21
1211
111221
312211
13112221

3. A man walks up to you and says - "everything I say to you is a lie."
Is he telling you the truth or is he lying?

4. A boy was at a carnival and went to a booth where a man said to the boy, "If I write your exact weight on this piece of paper then you have to give me $50, but if I cannot, I will pay you $50."

The boy looked around and saw no scale so he agrees, thinking no matter what the carny writes he'll just say he weighs more or less.

In the end the boy ended up paying the man $50. How did the man win the bet?

5. George, Helen, and Steve are drinking coffee.
Bert, Karen, and Dave are drinking soda.
Using logic, is Elizabeth drinking coffee or soda?

Alphascrabs second is your TV.

3. A man walks up to you and says - "everything I say to you is a lie."
Is he telling you the truth or is he lying?
Your guy is lying.

How about,

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?

And don't forget my others,

Well I can say you got number 3 wrong because the correct answer is as follows:

A man walks up to you and says - "everything I say to you is a lie."
Is he telling you the truth or is he lying?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

THE ANSWER:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

A hole.

Here's one:
A man is up at the top floor of a 13 story building, he looks through the window.
He get's nervous.
He jumps through the window.
He lands, stays there a second and walks off unharmed.
How?
