I am a victim of discrimination so please hear my plea
I am equal to my neighbors yet they still shun me
It's the color of my skin, of that I am sure
Why else am I here then...just to even the score ?
I feel like such a square not joining in their game
I look to my brethren but their plight is still the same

What am I ?

[Alucard1475]

A white square on a draughts or checker board. :P

The following are well-known song titles re-worded into literal terms. What are the songs ?

1. The nighttime guide adorned with small, often circular pieces of sparkling metal or plastic used for decoration of a standard.

2. Transport my personage to the exterior, to the amusement involving a small, round, hard projectile.

3. Ancient nonspatial continuum in which events occur in apparently irreversible succession from the past through the present to the future, relatively hard, naturally formed mineral or petrified matter and caused to move forward along a surface by revolving on an axis or by repeatedly turning over.

4. A solid, usually cylindrical mass of tallow in the midst of moving air.

This is one of those " Ask me yes-or-no type questions til someone gets it " riddles.


A man stands on the edge of a ledge outside the window of his office.....62 floors up. He is certain that he has nothing to live for and has decided rather than live the rest of his life like this, he will jump to his death. Just as he steps off, the phone rings and too late he realizes that he has made a horrible mistake. His final thoughts are of profound regret for making this decision.

Why did the man want to commit suicide and why did he want to change his mind when he heard the phone ring ?

Now, to the "riddle".... is the guy a telephone repairman?

[Riddler]

Nope. B)

[Celerystalksme]

Because he was wrongly diagnosed with cancer???

[titey]

Was he deaf and suddenly regained his hearing as he stepped off? :unsure:

:P Or did he think he was deaf... only to realize he wasn&#39;t when the phone rang?

[Riddler]

@celerystalksme.........nope.

@tw..........nope & nope.


He didn&#39;t have any kind of disease or handicap.

[chalice]

Was it because of a business deal or the like?
If a certain phonecall didn&#39;t come before a certain time he went bankrupt and lost his company or some such?

[titey]

:rolleyes: Ok.... on to the stoopid questions then Does the floor number (62) have any significance? :huh:

No. You&#39;ll have to suspend your disbelief on this one. The situation is highly unlikely but it is definitely solveable. Think more in terms of a certain Charlton Heston film. ( no googling &#33; )

The number 62 is only significant in that the fall would definitely kill the guy.

The phone ringing is THE key.

Here&#39;s a quicky to keep things ticking:

King Tut died 120 years after King Eros was born. Their combined ages when they died was 100 years. King Eros died in the year 40 B.C. In what year was King Tut born?

[titey]

Maybe I&#39;m blind, but I don&#39;t see enough information here to make that determination. :unsure:

[dlingeverything]

I dont think you have enough info
mathematically to solve it

however i think there is some
kind of historical clue that is
supposed to help


too bad i dont know what it is :(

[lynx]

You&#39;ve got all the info you need (mathematically).

There are no historical clues, it could just as easily have said that King Eros died in 1940, except that would not have made much sense.

i&#39;ve looked this over, we dont have enough clues

[Mr.Joshua]

Did a google search on it and u do have enough clues :) ,

but even then i had to get it down on paper :lol:

[Illuminati]

Lynx is correct - This is all we need. However, you need to do more than read it - You need to analyse it.

Eros was born - 120 years after, Tut died. They had a combined age of 100. Considering the 100 combined year compared to the 120 years, they could have not be alive at the same time - They lived in seperate time spaces.

The 100 years can be done in any way, but it still leaves 20 years before the death of King Eros and the birth of King Tut. Eros died in 40 BC, so Tut was born in 20 BC.

Easy when you know how ;)

[lynx]

Easy really, all you had to do was pick an age for eros, subtract that from his date of death, add 120 years, then subtract (100-Eros&#39;s age) and you get 20BC, no matter what age you pick for Eros.

Nope. That&#39;s a new one bigboab.....are we allowed to ask you questions on it ?

If we are, I&#39;d ask; Does it have anything to do with a musical instrument ? :huh:

[MagicNakor]

Ah, it&#39;s unlikely many here have heard of it, even though it&#39;s rather old. ;) Maybe if they&#39;re well-read.

No, it&#39;s not a musical instrument.

[Riddler]

Well, hello Wizard &#33; Do you have joint custody of this fine riddle ? ;)
I always enjoy a good head-banging session with you. :D

How about..........what shape are the holes ?

It&#39;s a doozy though. Its a testiment to old wisdom.

Hmmm....well if it has to do with the bible, I&#39;m at a disadvantage. I just don&#39;t know enough about the subject. :( But let&#39;s try another question anyway; What size are the holes ?

[chalice]

The size of the holes are irrelevant.
In fact the size varies quite a lot.

[Riddler]

I suppose &#39; wormholes &#39; is way off, huh ? :huh:

[chalice]

&#39;Fraid so, Riddler.

[Riddler]

I get the impression that if I don&#39;t know the Bible, I might be hooped on this one. :huh: D&#39;ya figure ? B)

[chalice]

Not at all, Riddler. The old testiment is merely the source.
Religion figures nowhere in the solution. :)

[Riddler]

OK. :) Are the holes occupied by anything such as animals ?

[chalice]

Nope. :lol: So tempted to give a clue that would give the game away.

[Riddler]

We wouldn&#39;t want that would we ? :o




Well maybe....... :P



Are the holes used for breathing ? :huh:

The answer to the riddle.
In this case it is not sufficient to give a one word answer.

[Lamsey]

What has ten holes. When one is open the other nine are closed. When one is closed the other nine are open?
The human body has 9 orifices....

Eyes - 2
Ears - 2
Nose - 2
Mouth - 1
Anus - 1
Genitals - 1


Maybe they&#39;re all open if there isn&#39;t a dirty great hole open in your chest, and they&#39;re closed if there is?

[chalice]

Lamsey, you&#39;re on the right track but think harder.

[Illuminati]

I was more thinking about the cruxifiction.

Holes opened then "closed"/filled by the nails.

As each one went in, the ninth (the mouth) opened in pain.

There&#39;s a few things wrong with that, but that&#39;s my best answer ;)

Other than that - I am absolutely f***ing clueless :(

[chalice]

Illuminati, nice guess but wrong.

[Lamsey]

[chalice]

The riddle came from the old testiment and it was one of the things Solomon used to woo the Queen of Sheba. I think it&#39;s used in some Muslim teachings too. Well, there ya go now.

[Lamsey]

Incidentally, it only works if it&#39;s a male baby. You&#39;ll find on closer investigation that females have another hole.

Ok, when I first looked at it, I thought "Allegiance", "Loyalty".... but I&#39;d never heard of "Fealty" before.

So I looked up the word in the dictionary and it is somewhat synonymous to the other to words.

So now we have three words which all mean more or less "Loyalty" split by the / symbol... so I&#39;m gonna guess Divided Loyalties

That&#39;s just plain nasty, I thought there must be something special about it being a 1976 AMC Pacer.
If you were locked inside my car you wouldn&#39;t get out with just a 4"" pocket knife. There are all sorts of little failsafes to prevent you from locking yourself in the car without the keys, but it is possible (with determination) to get round them or for someone else to lock you in.

;) There are "child proof locks" on the rear doors of my truck as well lynx... but those gizmos didn&#39;t exist in the &#39;70s to the best of my knowledge.

Just pull the little lock/unlock bit up and you&#39;re free to go ;)

Here&#39;s one I haven&#39;t heard before:

During WWII, there was a bridge connecting Germany and Switzerland, and on the German side, there was a sentry tower with a guard in it. He would come out every three minutes to check on the bridge, and he had orders to turn back anyone who tried to get into Germany, and shoot anyone trying to escape without a pass. There was a woman who desperately needed to get into Switzerland, and she knew she didn&#39;t have time to get a pass. It would take her five minutes to cross the bridge, but she managed to do it. How?

[Lamsey]

She should walk on to the bridge just after he has checked, and start crossing.

After two minutes, she must turn back and start walking towards Germany again.
The German guard will come out before she reaches Germany and turn her back, allowing her to enter Switzerland safely.

[lynx]

@ Lamsey: That is exactly why that trick doesn&#39;t work on cars that are difficult to steal.

Edit: damn, you&#39;re too quick for me today.

[lynx]

Here&#39;s another then:

A man was found shot 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&#39;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?

[Proper Bo]

He couldn&#39;t have pressed stop and rewind to get the tape in the right place for the police to press play?


EDIT: I mean, it was leprechauns&#33; :ph34r:

Doesn&#39;t half cause a nasty bit of chaffing though. :(

[Riddler]

Well, apparently bigboab&#39;s squeezing a few more drops out of the suspense factor so allow me; B)

I have a "special taste". My first four letters will reveal a plant and
my last three are a fish. Guess what I am ?
The multiple choice given below represents only my first letter.
=============
1) C
2) L
3) V
4) O

[Lamsey]

Vine+Gar = Vinegar :P

[bigboab]

I would say that last answer was right LAMSEY&#33;

I have been unable to get on the Forum due to technicalities (Not mine&#33;). I am only managing to get a couple of pages before it &#39;crashes&#39;. After this next riddle I will probably be barred from the Forum anyway.
All you have to do is crack the following code:-

CA-MM-ANO-MM-OSOAR-MM

It requires a sense of humour, Dialectal freedom and the realization that everything is not what it appears to be.

No further clues possible. Bye&#33;

Okay - We&#39;ve had some challenging ones recently, so here&#39;s a relaxing one. This isn&#39;t meant to be hard, but it does involve thinking logically.

These days, practically anything you see has "My first..." in it. e.g. "My first book", "my first toy", yada yada yada. Although just because you encounter most of the "my firsts" you experience at a young age, it doesn&#39;t mean that all of them are experienced as a kid ;)

What is the one thing that is guaranteed to be the last "first" experienced by anyone, regardless of who, what, why, where, when or how? :)

:P I thought it was about M&Ms too.

I looked at it like this: CA-MM (See they M&Ms)
ANO-MM (They no M&Ms)
OSOAR-MM (Oh so they are MMs)

So my response: OIC-AR-MM (Oh I see, they are M&Ms)

And I just threw in the part about the green ones to be silly.

But apparently, since bb hasn&#39;t said anything, it wasn&#39;t right. :(

[bigboab]

You are extremely close TITEY&#33; The fact that you have got that close means that it is solvable. Just study the original clues.

Do you mean I have the gist of it... just a little off on the words? :huh:

Or something else. <_<

[bigboab]

Just a bit off on the words&#33; Remember it is a daft answer. :)

[titey]

CA-MM (See they M&Ms)
ANO-MM (Ain&#39;t no M&Ms)
OSOAR-MM (Oh yeahso they are MMs)

:huh: ????????? :huh:

Sorry, don&#39;t really know the brogue too well. :(

[bigboab]

Closer the last time&#33;

Remember everything is not what it seems to be&#33;

It might be better if you used a different font.

Sounds as if RIDDLER knows the answer.

[titey]

Ridds is from the mountains... how would he know. :P

[bigboab]

He might be closer to the answer in the mountains.
Which mountains by the way?

[titey]

The OSOAR mountains... of course&#33; ;)

[bigboab]

not the oh so ar k mountains are they. Actually they are not mountains only hills.

[titey]

Of course not..... don&#39;t be silly. <_<

Come on TITEY you are 95% there(On the riddle that is&#33; :rolleyes: ). You have done all the work.

[titey]

Well, I didn&#39;t seem to be getting anywhere with the notion of mountains.

(http://members.roadfly.com/tite-wad/MM.gif is "MM" in webding font - btw)

So I figured I&#39;d try this. :P

No correct answer as yet. Try the &#39;cryptic&#39; TITEY, I know you love them&#33; :) Two correct moves from the cryptic clue and you have the answer. :unsure:

[bigboab]

What could I possibly see out of my window?
Not a permanent fixture by the way.
Just in passing and to add a wee bit of waffle(McDonalds again). There is a country park(With castle) about fifty feet from my house. Trouble is the tall trees prevent me seing a view of GOAT FELL on he island of Arran with the MULL of KINTYRE behind that and the Firth of Clyde in the foreground. A very picter skew view. Anyway the window I was looking out of was on the other side of the house.
