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?

Native Poser · #33 04-25-2003, 09:18 PM

:

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

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.

Splat · #34 04-26-2003, 06:36 PM

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?

Native Poser · #35 04-27-2003, 02:03 PM

Nah, it wasnt god. The answer was tomarrow.

Mojo · #36 04-28-2003, 07:29 AM

"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?

Splat · #38 04-29-2003, 04:21 PM

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,

:

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?

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

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?

Hobo · #41 04-30-2003, 01:32 PM

Adder, is in an inside window??

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

Cobra_69 · #43 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 · #44 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 · #45 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 · #46 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 · #47 05-04-2003, 02:18 PM

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,

:

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

Is also tomorrow.

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 · #52 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 · #53 05-10-2003, 12:50 AM

Hint!!! me Stoopid

Dragonlord3 · #54 05-10-2003, 02:35 AM

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

Joshy · #55 05-10-2003, 11:07 PM

Are they related???

Splat · #56 05-12-2003, 03:55 PM

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 · #57 05-12-2003, 09:34 PM

Native Poser · #59 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 · #60 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!!!
