B)
The solution may come from using synonyms or playing with sounds (and possibly homonyms) from the stated expression.
example...... "I'm taking that girl Andrea Walk out tonight to that 'tricky part' of town"
would solve to......
"Take a walk on the wild side" .....
or broken down further:
"Take A(ndrea) Walk on the wild (wiled - Trickery; cunning) side (of town)."
so I can't really give a clue without giving the whole thing away..... hope this helps... :)
Yup, it helps....helps me to realize that I'm sorely lacking in riddle-solving skills ! Now ain't THAT ironic ? :lol:
PS; Hi, how are ya ? ;)
hehe..Quote:

Never !! I am Riddler ! I will not ask for the answer ! Not in a million years !!

....and I'm good thanks. :)
damn... can't find the pm button... :P
the answer uses mainly a rearrangement of the words...... and playing with the sounds within this arrangement.....
a clue.... erm...... the creditors are chasing, you better keep them off your back with this comment...... something easily said to the creditors over the phone.....
and if you don't get it with those hints then I'll just have to tell you the answer.....
:D
hope I haven't given it away cos I would love to stump you well and truly in the nicest possible way of course :lol:

The subject matter for this one's rather morbid but it's a good puzzler....
Gerta's husband left her for another woman, so she decided to make a lethal mixture to take her life. Attempting to make it as powerful as possible, she mixed sodium hydroxide with hydrochloric acid. She quaffed her cocktail of death, but nothing happened. Why?
ok, I used google.... can't lie, had to find out the properties of each to figure it out.... chemistry was not my strong point in school....
they cancel each other out don't they.... it makes salt....
:lol: :lol:
Yup.
You know your Google. :D
John got in trouble in class for throwing paper, the teacher made him clean it up and asked for his phone number so he could call John's parents. John said it was ninety-one, fourteen, sixty-three, seven. The teacher automatically knew it was a fake, how?
Well, if he was American or Canadian, it would be a problem because it starts with 911!Quote:

the eastern-most point Semisopochnoi Island in the Aleutians

Sam Rottenegger got some free tickets to go and see his least favorite band. Sam, feeling a little unruly, stopped at the corner store so he could bring a 1/2 dozen eggs with him to the concert.
The concert was packed and the tunes where so loud that Sam could hardly stand it. He started making his way through the crowd when one of the eggs broke in his pocket and ran down the inside of shirt. Sam squirmed with disgust but thought how great it would be to see that yellow ooze on the band members.
It took him 60 grueling minutes to make his way close enough to launch his attack. Sam chucked one right at the bass player but it just bounced off him without breaking.
"Odd," Sam thought, but every one of the 4 eggs he threw just landed unbroken. He never got to throw the 5th as security removed Sam promptly. Sam, now half deaf, bruised, battered, and confused looked closely at the egg and noticed it wasn't exactly raw anymore. Frustrated, Sam chucked the egg over his shoulder hitting an Officer who gladly gave him a free nights stay at the Bars Inn.
So what happened to the eggs that caused them not to break? Note that they were totally raw when he brought them in.
oooooooo.....toughy
ok... I don't think it was body heat even if it did take 60 mins to get thru the crowd... :unsure:
gonna have to put the thinking cap on for this one....lol.. don't think google will help at all
Yup, this one's a classic science puzzle....you could do a different kind of search if you had to. ;)
AHA..........
high volume sound waves at certain frequencies can cause the proteins in an egg to stick together almost like when it is boiled...... so the eggs bounced like a hard boiled egg instead of breaking.
:P
Hmmm.....I see you found it huh ? :D ;)

Here's another classic....
There was once a man named Harold. Harold was from England. The king would always get upset with Harold because it seemed like Harold never failed at anything and the king was jealous.
So one day, the king was determined to prove Harold a failure. He drew a line across the floor. He said:
"Harold, make this line shorter. You may not erase it in any way".
Harold said
"No problem your highness".
And he made the line shorter.
How is this possible?
did he draw another line that was longer???
