Riddles
 
Do you have any? If you do, post them! I'll start with an old riddle, just to get the thread started:

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

Now you post the solution :)

Meiko Jul 15th, 2006 11:33 PM

You got it right, it's a mirror :)

"There are three words in the English language that end in -GRY. Two are HUNGRY and ANGRY. The third one everyone uses every day and knows what it stands for. If you listened carefully, I already told you what the word is. What is the third word?"

okee... i got this one once in an email, and i thought it was quite stupid, but let me see if i can explain it. Seeing this as a riddle and not a trivia question, the answer is "language". the whole -gry and the other 2 words, hungry and angry, are just there to mislead you. the riddle says: "there are three words in the english language..." so the third words is language, plus there are more than 3 words ending with -gry in the english language. so like i said, stupid.

You wake up in a place you have never before. You see three rooms, all bringing to the exit. But there are notes on the rooms's doors.

The notes say:

1) room is filled with poison gas
2) room has more than 15 lions that haven't eaten for 5 years
3) room is filled with snipers that would kill anyone who steps in

You have to choose one of the three. Which room would be the way that could get you out without being harmed?

room 2. if the lions haven't eaten anything in 5 years, they're dead. Or i would assume so. :peoples:

Yep, that's it! You're our official riddle solver! But I hope I'll think of something harder next time :right:

Rei Jul 25th, 2006 09:37 AM

Easy one...
 
Take away the whole and some still remains. What is it?

Berserker Jul 26th, 2006 01:22 AM

I know in dutch it is a "breuk" but I can't get up with the english word for it. :S

First thought was of a doughnut... but then thinking about it a bit more, and it's wholesome, take away the "whole" and "some" still remains.

I suck at solving riddles. I used to enjoy it when I was a kid, but then my father, who was annoyed by the fact I kept asking all day "Tell me another riddle!", started telling me riddles that had no solution on purpose. I think that can seriously damage a child's brain :P

You are stuck in a room with no windows or doors. A solid room. The only things in this room are a mirror and a table. How do you escape?

Chara Aug 2nd, 2006 11:34 PM

I know the answer to that one... which I really dont like because it doesnt make any practical sense.

What you do is look in the mirror, see what you saw, grab the saw, use the saw to cut the table in half, two halves make a whole, climb out the hole.

I have a simple one to share: What gets bigger the more you take away from it?

A negative number? :confused:

Chara Aug 5th, 2006 07:06 PM

Good guess but that isnt it.

Pu the Owl Aug 5th, 2006 09:05 PM

A hole?
