The Riddle Game

Alright, here's the rules. In your post, you must first answer the riddle to the person above you. It doesn't really matter if you get it right or not, but for the sake of the game, actually try to guess correctly. After that, just give a riddle so the person below can answer. If you've already given a riddle and that person didn't get it right, just ask it again or give the correct answer if you want to give a new one. You don't have to come up with your own riddle; you can just look one up online. Pretty simple. Seeing as there's obviously no riddle that someone posted above me, I'll start off. With something easy, of course. ovo

'Make 6 with IX. You can only add or remove 1 thing.'

ouo;;

I apologize if this doesn't make sense or isn't any fun. vnv;;

Write an 'S' in front of IX, and you get SIX.

There was a man found dead in the desert. His pack was full, he did not die from animal attacks, starvation, dehydration, heat stroke, or any natural causes. How did he die?

The correct answer is short! So I guess, you got it right? ovo (lol, I dunno.)


@UtauYork  He didn't die from natural causes so obviously, the cause of death is unnatural! >8U
He was murdered by an assassin who had no interest in the pack's contents (I consider that unnatural). OvO"

Next Person's Riddle: I am the beginning of the end, and the end of time and space. I am essential to creation, and I surround every place. What am I?

The letter 'e'

There was a coat you wanted to buy. It cost $100 but you only have $3. You borrow $50 each from your mum and dad. So now you have $103. Buying the coat, you have $3 left over. You give $1 each back to your parents. You keep $1.

Owing your parents $49 each is $98 altogether. Add the $2 you gave back that's $100. Add the dollar you kept that's $101. What happened to the extra $2?

Let's see. (o_O I doubt I guess this right) I owe mom and dad $50 dollars each. I pay them each a dollar. I now owe $98 dollars. I have $1 dollar left.

... I'm confused.
My answer: What extra two? 0_0 Because the two I gave back is already included in the $98.
...Derp.


The more you take, the more you leave behind.

Time or footsteps?

@UtauYork's riddle: Was the man a parachuter whose parachute malfunctioned (still in the full pack), and he died from the impact of falling? o3o

A little easier, I think:
Bobby's mother has four children.... Penny, Nickel, Dime ... and what's the name of the fourth child?

Correct~ Footsteps.

Riddle:

This is a most unusual paragraph - and so is its companion paragraph that follows. This writing may annoy you until you find out why it is so unusual, for you won't find a solution instantly. But don't go into a tailspin about it, for it isn't that difficult. But you will admit that it is most unusual. This writing looks so ordinary that you might think that nothing is wrong with it. And, in fact, nothing is wrong with it. But it is unusual, and you must ask why. If you study and think about it, you may find out why, but you must do it without any coaching of any kind. No doubt if you work at it for long, it will dawn on you...who knows? So start to study it now, and try your skill at finding out what is so unusual about this writing. If you can do it in half an hour, you may claim an approach to wisdom, but if you can't do it in half an hour...find our solution.

Is it strange because it doesn't contain the letter 'e'?

Was his pack was too heavy for him to carry and he died of exhaustion?

@Faeriemagic: A picture of yourself?

A man was found dead in his study. He was slumped over his desk and a gun was in his hand. There was a cassette recorder on his desk. When the police entered the room and pressed the play button on the tape recorder they heard: "I can't go on. I have nothing to live for." Then there was the sound of a gunshot. How did the detective immediately know that the man had been murdered and it wasn't a suicide?

@PurinPuff Because he couldn't of have stopped the recorder after he died.

Take one of me out and scratch my head,
After a while I am now black but before I was red.

What am I?

What can run but never walks,

has a bed but never sleeps?

A river or stream?

I stare at you,
you stare at me.
I have three eyes,
Yet I cannot see.
Every time I blink,
I give commands.
You do as you are told.
With your hands and feet.
What am I ?

A man is going for a holiday. So before he leaves, he does a quick tidy-up: Waters his garden, packs some clothes, turns out all the lights, gets in the car and drives off. Doing these actions causes the drowning of seven people and soaking another eleven. Why?

I think I've heard this one before! Is it a lighthouse he lives in?

Here's my riddle for you~

Mallory can go through the green glass door, but Sara can't.
Apples can go through the green glass door, but bananas can't.
Coffee can go through the green glass door, but water can't.

Why can't Sara, bananas, or water go through the green glass door?

[/quote]

Only words with two consecutive letters (the l in Mallory, p in Apples, f and e in Coffee) can go through the green glass door. Sara, Bananas, and water don't have consecutive letters.

Alive without breathing,
As cold as death can be;
Never thirsty yet
Always drinking.

Clad in mail yet
never clinking;
and drowns
on dry land.
