Her you go!

A horse travels a certain distance each day.
Strangley enough, two of it's legs travel 30 miles each day
and the other two of the horses legs travel nearly 31 miles each day.
It seems that 2 of the horses legs must be 1 mile ahead of the other 2 legs,
but of course this can't be true.Since the horse is normal,
how is this situation possible??? :P

Jonno B)
It's travelling in a circle.

ok, new riddle especially for riddler:

what's bored to death?

:P
:D



I'd cook up a batch of riddles cept I'm so bored, my braincells went back to Italy to continue my vacation. ;)

[callum]

Three people check into a hotel. They pay $30 to the manager and go to their room. The manager finds out that the room rate is $25 and gives $5 to the bellboy to return. On the way to the room the bellboy reasons that $5 would be difficult to share among three people so he pockets $2 and gives $1 to each person. Now each person paid $10 and got back $1. So they paid $9 each, totalling $27. The bellboy has $2, totalling $29. Where is the remaining dollar?

aah i've heard of this one b4
figured it out while on the toilet :lol:

you are not supposed to add 27 and 2

you subtract 27 and 2 to get the actual amount of room
which is 25

Think it through :D

That's about right. It's quite hard to explain the answer to that one.

[Riddler]

Step right up, folks ! See the Bearded Lady ! Marvel at the Tatooed Man ! Match wits with The Riddler and win the little lady a cupie doll ! :P

They are three errers in this puzzle. What are they ?

[chalice]

They should be there.
Errers should be errors.
There are only 2 errors so the statement itself is an error.

Hmmmm, OK, that wins you a "small", plunk down another dollar and see if you can trade up............ ;)


As a keen photographer, I find the best way to capture the portrait of a gazelle is to stand well downwind. I also try to wear clothes which blend in to the background to reduce the chance of scaring the animal.

What country is hidden in the above sentence ?

[chalice]

India.

We have a winnah ! But you really ought to stick around and try for the big pink panda.............. :D



seventy
brawl
clover
proper
carrot
swing
change
travel
sacred
stone

Which word is the odd one out and why ?

[chalice]

I haven't got a notion.
Gimme that panda anyway, I've got kids man.
One cupie doll isn't enough to go around. :)

seventy as its the only number :D

havnt got a clue either!!

[Riddler]

:D Tell you what, I'll give you the Elmo doll if you answer the WHY. The WHAT is................carrot.

[chalice]

Umm.. because its the only word that has one of its letters repeated
in sucession? ie. the double r's? I doubt it though.

[Riddler]

Me too. ;)

[chalice]

Umm....its the only word that splits into two words?
ie car and rot? My doubt deepens.

[Riddler]

Elmo's going.....going..... :P

[Riddler]

OK, then, can't let you go home empty-handed. ;)

Last clue; first and last letters.

[Guillaume]

All the words form other words when you get rid of the first and last letter, except carrot.

[chalice]

i think i see it now.
It's the only word that doesn't contain a word.
Event, raw, love, rope, win, hang, rave, acre, ton.
Cool one Riddler.

[Riddler]

Everybody gets a prize !!! :D

One more before I crash for the night.........

What phrase does this represent ? MIND ..... MINOTND

Here's one i pulled out at random:


If you toss it from the top of a high building
it will not break, but if you throw it into the ocean
it iwll break. What is it?


I know how fast these get answered so i'll put another up

Can a man marry three women in a single
day (without divorcing any one of them) and yet
not break the US laws? If so, how?


Good Luck :P

can you unfold the napkins?
or do they have to stay as they are?

:D Certainly. I&#39;m not being sarcastic, by the way, it was more of a hint than anything. For example, you can turn the napkins back into pulp if you like. :)

Although number 3 can be many things
the one i was looking for was breath but
opinion works with the logic.

Sorry for the long quote, but I figured we&#39;d all like to stop having to go back to re-read the riddles. btw, I&#39;ve followed this thread since it&#39;s beginning (I even recall the original from long ago&#33;) and I Love it&#33; This is my first time responding though. So here goes&#33;

#2: Snow
#4: A caterpillar?? (as opposed to a butterfly)
#5 a): Leaves and snow?
B): Dawn
#7: Arm, leg, eye, ear, toe, gum, lip, hip, rib, jaw (that&#39;s all 10)

*EDIT* Whoops, sorry for the late post, I didn&#39;t see your last one, dlingeverything.
I guess #4 is wrong.......and I also ended up starting a new page anyway, which kinda defeated the purpose of the long quote anyways..... :unsure:

Courtesy of Dling, these are a list of factors that prevented me from
replying to your post: I had to go through the other ones and see who answered right I had to reply to everyone who guessed I forgot which question went with which number so i had to look back and forth I forgot a few answers so i had to look them up I was stuck with dishes FLOOD CONTROL
I hope this makes you feel better 2nd gen

Sorry for the long quote, but I figured we&#39;d all like to stop having to go bcak to re-read the riddles. btw, I&#39;ve followed this thread since it&#39;s beginning (I even recall the original from long ago&#33;) and I Love it&#33; This is my first time responding though. So here goes&#33;

#2: Snow
#4: A caterpillar?? (as opposed to a butterfly)
#5 a): Leaves and snow?
&nbsp; &nbsp; B): Dawn
#7: Arm, leg, eye, ear, toe, gum, lip, hip, rib, jaw (that&#39;s all 10)

*EDIT* Whoops, sorry for the late post, I didn&#39;t see your last one, dlingeverything.
I guess #4 is wrong.......and I also ended up starting a new page anyway, which kinda defeated the purpose of the long quote anyways.....&nbsp; :unsure:
lol thanks for the quote anyways,
i had to have two pages open so i could remember
questions-numbers

Happy that your a fan of this thread as i am too.
Tried to get into the first one but it died down right after
i joined in :(

Here goes:
2. Exactly&#33;&#33; Full Credit&#33;&#33;
4. Nope, see previous post
5. a. Leaves is one of the ones i was looking for&#33; Snow was already mentioned but is also right
b. YES&#33;&#33;&#33; I thought no one would get that one.
7. YES&#33; Exactly all of them&#33; good job :) :)

He was telling the truth but how would this be possible?


Since no one is guesing i will give the answer to this one.

The 100&#39; grass is bamboo.

The method used to determine the sequence is completely off-the-wall.

I doubt that much of anyone could ever determine it without help.

You&#39;re just being mean&#33;&#33;&#33; http://members.roadfly.com/tite-wad/wedgie.gif

[Lamsey]

I have to go to bed... want the answer?

[tite-wad]

I know the answer, but dlingeverything could probably use a good hint from you.

[Lamsey]

If you know the answer then post it, &#39;cos I&#39;m going to bed. :sleeping:

[tite-wad]

The answer is nothing without the explanation of how to get it. :wacko:

[Lamsey]

Oh well...

Just as well I checked in before bedding down then.

Answer:

The next row is 1113213211

Why?
Starting with the second line, every line describes the line before it. In writing, it is:
One One
Two Ones
One Two, One One
etc.
etc.

So the next line must describe the line before, which is 13112221.
So: One One, One Three, Two Ones, Three Twos, One One ---&#62; 1113213211

Now I&#39;m going to sleeep :sleeping:

[dlingeverything]

grrr i thot of something like that at first but
quickly discarded it b/c that would get too complicated
during the large numbers.

Mainly i was just lookiing for patterns in the
numbers in different ways. My whole line of logic was
completely off :(

Oh well, good job of stumping me ;)

Re my name - What is it with you and my name CBB? Nobody else complains... If you&#39;ve got a problem, take it up with my parents...

Now that I think about it. Can&#39;t you just hit one switch and go upstairs and check it out?
Not quite.

[2nd gen noob]

riddler missed out that you&#39;re only allowed to flick 2 different switches and only allowed to check the room once

Actually, I was saving that for a clue, but..........yeah, what HE said. ;)

[dfhsfgjdgjdg]

If you flick 2 switches, you will know which switch controls the light that remains off, but you&#39;ve no way of knowing about the other two...

Damn this is hard

Am I missing something here? You&#39;re allowed to flick 1 or 2 switches, and check the room once, is that right?

You can flick 2 switches and check the room once.

[ilw]

How about flick one switch, leave it for a couple of months till its burned out and then flick another switch. Then when u check the room u&#39;ve got 1 on, 1 off, 1 blown

you are so close....

[Riddler]

:lol: Didn&#39;t think of that &#33; But let&#39;s just say it needs to be done right away.

[dfhsfgjdgjdg]

I think it&#39;s impossible

[ilw]

Can u rewire them at all?

[dfhsfgjdgjdg]

Does it involve removing a bulb?

[Riddler]

nopenope&nope. ;)

[ilw]

these arent fluorescent bulbs are they? The only other thing i can think of is to make one of the bulbs less bright by doing something dodgy electrically, but that probably comes under rewiring?
Edit If theyre fluorescent, leave one on for a while so its fully on, then flick another and leg it upstairs. THen u have one flickering ,one on and one off

[Riddler]

Nope. i can&#39;t really think of any clue I can give you except that 2nd gen was right, you ( ilw ) were almost bang-on.

[Illuminati]

ROFL - This is an old one.

You switch two lights on then after a bit of time switch one of the two on switches off. Then you go into the room - The one that&#39;s lit is obviously the one you left on. The other two, well you feel the bulbs for the heat - As one has been on & off, it&#39;s bound to be hotter than the one that&#39;s never been on.

So
Left On - Lit Bulb
One then Off - Unlit bulb that&#39;s hot
Left Off - Unlit bulb that&#39;s cold

Looks like I&#39;m starting quite a habit ;)

(BTW Riddler - Never really noticed that skinky remark. I did see that clue, and I&#39;m guessing that you&#39;re trying to say it&#39;s water. Please explain the answer to me, because quite frankly it&#39;s confusing me :blink:

[ilw]

bugger never thought of that :blink:

Ummm, where to start ?
Oh yeah.......
1: Stinky = cigars
2: Yup...water
3: Many huge ships in the sea....water holds em up. Sand will eventually settle to the bottom every time.

Ok, someone else get in here with a few. B)

[Illuminati]

Can&#39;t be done....I&#39;ve done the math. :D

[Riddler]

Well I guess it must be my turn again.......... ;)

Here&#39;s an easy one ;

Johnny told the teacher to " blow it out yer arse ". The teacher was furious and demanded that he give her his home phone number so she could call his parents. Johnny replied; " Sure biyatch, it&#39;s : ninety-one, fourteen, sixty-three, seven. "
The teacher knew right away that not only was he in need of a good belt across the ass, but he was lying as well. How&#39;d she figure that out ? :P

[ilw]

it starts with 911 which is american emergency services so the numbers after don&#39;t matter?

[Riddler]

BINGBINGBINGBING &#33; :)

Ok, lets&#39; try a tougher one shall we ?

Every single one of has owned at least a share of a world record according to Guiness, what is it ?

Anyone still looking to stretch out some brain muscle ? Here we go....

General Custer was making his famous last stand. Surrounded by Indians, he didn&#39;t actually die that day ( really &#33; ) Instead he picked up a magic lamp laying at his feet, rubbed it and a genie popped out and offered him 1 wish with the following condition...." Whatever you wish for, your enemy will receive 2 of the same thing. "
What was Custer&#39;s one wish that got him out of that mess and allowed him to live a long and happy life, eventually becoming Colonel Saunders&#39; great grandfather ( all true &#33; ) ?
:P

Let&#39;s just say that he wished for something a little less harmful to himself than being half-dead. ;)

He requested his leg be amputated. He could then hop away as the indians crawled vainly behind him.

Let&#39;s pretend, just for the hell of it, ( mostly because yours truly f**ked up the question again &#33; ) that what the genie said was; " I will grant you one OBJECT to wish for. Your enemy however, will get two of the same object. "

and its an object&#33;&#33;&#33;

[Illuminati]

I&#39;m guessing that he asked for one of his balls to be amputated. No, I&#39;m serious.

Think about it - If he only asked for one, the indians would have both taken off. I&#39;m not sure whether it would have killed them, but the mere shock of both your b***ocks missing is going to distract any bloke ;)

He&#39;d be able to live a longer (due to a reduced chance in testicular cancer) and happier (who wouldn&#39;t want to get it on that bit longer before c**ming? :w00t:), and he would have been able to be Colonel Sander&#39;s great-grandfather (You only really need one sperm in truth for that ;)).

Yes, it&#39;s a little exaggerated but it&#39;s the best I&#39;ve got so far.

[crazy_billy_bats]

i doubt it &#33; read the last page man, we arnt allowed to use body parts&#33;&#33;

me already tried it &#33;&#33;

[TheDave]

a flashbang, he threw it straight away then ran through the crowd of blinded indians before they worked out how to use it.


ok, ok. ill answer myelf

@TheDave good shot but not the answer, go back to bed
