The Riddle Thread

[Drum Thumper]

a valve?

which riddle are you referring to?

[jdbnsn]

to the thing that turns and nothing gets in/out

[jdbnsn]

oooo... what about a lock?

[Luke122]

Actually, if you know the answer hold off on posting it. I want to see if Luke solved it or just googled the damned palindrome list.

Nope, didnt google it. :D
Do you want me to post how I got it?

[Ironcat]

A hill full, a hole full, yet you cannot catch a bowl full. What is it? Smoke...or gas... or air...

Iron roof and glass walls, burns and burns yet never falls.
An oldd fashioned lantern?

A riddle, a riddle, I suppose: a hundred eyes yet not a nose!
Had to look this one up... a Cinder sifter? Could easily be a sieve I suppose.

And yes, the answer to the girls who killed her sister is indeed hoping that she'd see the guy again at the funeral.
The interesting catch is that that question is actually used in psychoanalyzing people.
For some reason, normal people cannot grasp the concept, but sociopaths get it INSTANTLY!
Tell the riddle at work and be careful accepting rides from the quiet guy who gets the answer.

[Ironcat]

The full "Twas Muttered" riddle... may make it easier or harder...

'Twas in heaven pronounced, and 'twas muttered in hell,
An echo caught faintly the sound as it fell;
On the confines of earth 'twas permitted to rest,
And the depths of the ocean its presence confessed;
'Twill be found in the sphere when 'tis riven asunder,
Be seen in the lightning and heard in the thunder.
'Twas allotted to man with his earliest breath,
Attends him at birth, and awaits him in death,
Presides o'er his happiness, honor, and health,
Is the prop of his house, and the end of his wealth.
In the heaps of the miser 'tis hoarded with care,
But is sure to be lost on the prodigal heir.
It begins every hope, every wish it must bound,
With the husbandman toils, and with monarchs is crowned.
Without it the soldier, the seaman may roam,
But woe to the wretch who expels it from home!
In the whispers of conscience its voice will be found,
Nor e'en in the whirlwind of passion be drowned.
'Twill not soften the heart; but though deaf be the ear,
It will make it acutely and instantly hear.
Yet in shade let it rest, like a delicate flower,
Ah... breathe on it softly, - it dies in an hour.
("A Riddle", by Joanna Baillie, 1762-1851)

Yes, I know the answer but didn't put it here so the rest of y'all could get it...

[Drum Thumper]

A hill full, a hole full, yet you cannot catch a bowl full. What is it? Smoke...or gas... or air...

Close...but not quite what I'm looking for. You're on the right track though.


'Twas in Heaven pronounced; 'twas muttered in hell; and echo caught faintly the sound as it fell. On the confines of earth it was permitted to rest; and in the depths of its presence it was confessed.
I am thinking this is some kind of ore or metal?

Nope. Keep trying.


Iron roof and glass walls, burns and burns yet never falls.

Nice work. That is the correct answer.


A riddle, a riddle, I suppose: a hundred eyes yet not a nose!
Had to look this one up... a Cinder sifter? Could easily be a sieve I suppose.

A sieve is the correct answer, a colander fits as well.


And yes, the answer to the girls who killed her sister is indeed hoping that she'd see the guy again at the funeral.

LOL.

I turn around once. What is out will not get in.
I turn around again. What is in will not get out.
What am I?

I was going to go with valve also. A lock wouldn't let either through one way and would let everything through the other. But a valve would allow passage in one way or the other, without necessarily letting anything back. Much like a flowback valve.

[jdbnsn]

Nope, didnt google it. :D

Which post is the riddle for that answer? I spent about five minutes looking for it before deciding to do something else, lol.

[Airbozo]

ha I said light in post #32 but chucked it because it didn't explain the last two.

Not to be a wet blanket here, but...

John Denver singing makes me cry far worse than looking into the sun.
Light does NOT make me pee.
My SO combs her hair way before the sun pops over the horizon.
Celebrities do not need sunlight to look stupid.
Heat turns pancakes brown.
Light does NOT make Champagne bubble, release of pressure does.

I think sometimes I read too much into riddles and stump myself.

[Airbozo]

...
...on a side note. In the Adult Swim Ad to the side of the page, the one that is all static screen looking, is there something there or is it just me? Like one of those pictures you get really close to, then slowly pull away to reveal a picture. Idk, I can just see lines, and they almost look like they form a picture or something...

Hmmm, I can even imagine seeing words now.. maybe not like full actual words, but a collective of hidden lettering or something. Subliminal messaging?? or maybe I just need to go to sleep... lol

I personally think you are staring at it too long. Get some sleep...

[jdbnsn]

If someone looks up the answer to a riddle, let's agree not to post it for the one's racking their brains

eek, that's kinda scary

Agreed, with one exception: If a person finds a longer version of a riddle, please post it! (See the 'Twas Muttered posts on the previous page).

[jdbnsn]

good point, although that didn't help me much, I'm still stumped! :(

[Zephik]

Okay, really? I mean really people? I was gone for.. idk.. 10 minutes TOPS. I come back and there are like 5 more pages!

What have I done? I've created a monster! lol


oooo... what about a lock?

That is, according to my sources, the correct answer.


I was going to go with valve also. A lock wouldn't let either through one way and would let everything through the other. But a valve would allow passage in one way or the other, without necessarily letting anything back. Much like a flowback valve.

Now, according to me, I like this answer much better. lol

I just thought of a neat idea. How bout someone create a riddle where the answer is "a riddle", but try and make it really hard? I couldn't even make an easy one, so good luck with that. lol

[NightrainSrt4]

I don't think making a riddle with the answer being "a riddle" would work, least not to post here. Everyone knows that the answer to one of the riddles would be "a riddle" so just guess that on any riddle. ;)

Be cool to see a riddle like that though.

[Ironcat]

I think sometimes I read too much into riddles and stump myself.
I think you weren't reading into it enough... example the champagne bubbles. yes, it is by carbnation, etc, etc, etc, but in riddlease you could say that it wasn't until the cork popped and light got into the bottle that the bubbles were there... like the dead cat-alive cat in the box thing.


hoping that if another female relative of hers dies she'll get to meet him again?
Needsleep posted the right answer.

...

That's the thing though. I would wager that MOST champagne is opened after the sun goes down. ( I thought the answer was "sunlight")

[Luke122]

How did I get the answer "Never Even" ?

Well, to be honest with you, I had no idea until Jon posted the "starts and ends with N" clue. At that point, I started to rethink the riddle.

I didnt get into the specifics of the chemistry, except for the electrons.. hydroxide (OH) is negative, and all I kept thinking about was that, and how it was always found bonded to something else... never on its own. Then I was like.. never... hmmm.

hehe... totally the wrong way to solve it I guess, but oh well. To quote a great Vin, "It doesnt matter if you win by an inch, or a mile." (I disagree with that by the way. )

[NightrainSrt4]

I didn't even see the begins/ends with an n.

I never would have figured out the...medicines all kicked in, I can't think of the word now.

But, working backwards it makes sense. OH- has 7 electrons. not even. But the Oxygen has a stronger pull on hydrogens electron than it does, so the electron is "pulled" more towards the oxygen, so the electrons are never evenly dispersed.

There is some more thoughts in my head that support it to. But I never would have figured it out.

Nope.

Exactly! Hydroxide is an ion, which is always polar due to the uneven dispersement of electron charges. The sub-atomic particles present in hydroxide include the hydrogen proton & e-, the oxygen has the neutrons, protons, and electrons. The neutron has no measurable bearing on the 3 way relationship in a hydroxide ion. The 3 players are the protons of the oxygen, the protons of the hydrogen, and the electrons shared between them in a covalent bond. The electrons are more strongly attracted to the oxygen because of the higher cummulative power of the larger number of + charges present. So, within the covalent bond, the electron cloud is never even shared between the two atomic nuclei, it is NEVER EVEN.

+rep to the brainiacs!!!

[noopypoop]

Heres a good one i just found on the internet....



A man was to be sentenced, and the judge told him, "You may make a statement. If it is true, I'll sentence you to four years in prison. If it is false, I'll sentence you to six years in prison." After the man made his statement, the judge decided to let him go free. What did the man say?

[Luke122]

Loving this thread. :D

[noopypoop]

did you look it up or heard it before?

[Omega]

did you look it up or heard it before?


Neither. I thought about it (I'm a huge semantics geek btw) and that's the only statement that if it's "true" it's false, and if it's "false" it's true.

[noopypoop]

Another one i found on the internet....


A woman shoots her husband.
Then she holds him under water for over 5 minutes.
Finally, she hangs him.
But 5 minutes later they both go out together and enjoy a wonderful dinner together.
How can this be?



Its a really funny answer:devious:

[Luke122]

She took his picture.

She shoots him, holds the print in the developing solution (not water, but oh well), and then hangs the print to dry.

[noopypoop]

She took his picture.

Damn you!

[Ironcat]

I heard it was that she shot him, held his head under poisonous chemicals for 5 minutes and then under water for another 5, blah blah, blah...

she took his picture.

And the best part is that was in the OLD riddle thread! xD

Negative.

It's not an atlas either, is it?

[Luke122]

Not an atlas either.

The dancing thing... can you clarify something? I'm reading it as rhymes with "A and A". closest I can think of is "layaway"...

[Zephik]

Not an atlas either.

Is it an object? Like something you can hold? Is it bigger or smaller than a globe or atlas?

[Luke122]

it's an Object, smaller.

[Luke122]

This makes sense if you look at it like this...

I dance four feet to ev'ry line,
with A and A I try to rhyme.
And B and B make couples two,
the answer my friend stands in front of you.

The riddle.

The first 2 lines rhyme, and the last two rhyme. The riddle is in front of you.

[jdbnsn]

I think the tip off was that he posted it just after someone said "somebody should make up a riddle where the answer is a riddle"

[Zephik]

it's an Object, smaller.

Ah crap, I just remembered this riddle from long ago. lol dangit, stupid brain and its habit of collecting information and then relaying it to me when I least need it.

My pinpal from across the pond asked me this riddle. It stumped my entire english class. Too bad really, the postage must be killer on those letters!

[jdbnsn]

"I travel the world, but never leave the corner."

Subtle yet effective. Its how I roll. :p

The king wants to marry off his only daughter, so he announces that any prince who wants to win her hand must answer a simple riddle.

3 princes turn up to take the challenge. The king tells them: I'm going to put a hat on each of your heads. Each hat will be either black or white. If you see a white hat, raise your hand. The first one to tell me what colour hat they're wearing gets to marry the princess.

So he puts a white hat on all 3 princes' heads. All 3 princes raise their hands.

After a while, one prince says 'my hat is white'

How did he work it out?

[jdbnsn]

No one wants to attempt mine?

I'm losing track, which one was your's? Or are you talking about the orange (which I thought didn't rhyme with anything)

[Drum Thumper]

Not an atlas either.

Hehehe...I'll put it this way: I'm surprised Jon didn't use something like this when he was creating all the hype leading up to the new site...or did he?:think:

Edit: Damn, I really gotta learn to read through everything. Great job getting this one.

Now, I wonder if I can come up with another before I head to work--I've just about exhausted my supply.

[jdbnsn]

These two words rhyme with orange.

two words.... aren't you?

[Luke122]

So he puts a white hat on all 3 princes' heads. All 3 princes raise their hands.

After a while, one prince says 'my hat is white'

How did he work it out?

Im pretty sure it has something to do with everyones hand is up. So he deduces that all hats are white. But I really can't reason why. It keeps getting stuck in my head.

This one is making my brain bleed.

[Luke122]

I think you got the rest already Jon.

"that mans father is my fathers son". You are your fathers son, so that man must be your son. That's the only logical explanation I can think of.

[Zephik]

This one is making my brain bleed.

Agreed. I think I just imploded a few brain cells...

[Scotty]

Quadruple post, sin him!

That last one though =\

[Scotty]

Hmm could it be himself?

[Zephik]

Hmm could it be himself?

Thats it, it must be. It make sense when you think of it in that way and repeat the riddle.

**
Think of it as if you were talking to your reflection.

[Luke122]

Nope, that doesnt work.

"That man" 's father is my fathers son. You are your fathers son, and apparently an only child, so it's not a nephew. What about some sort of "step child" situation?

For that man's father, to be your fathers son, that would mean that your father is his grandfather.

[Luke122]

Quadruple post, sin him!

That last one though =\

They arent the same post four times, so that doesnt count as a quadruple post. ;)

[Zephik]

For that man's father, to be your fathers son, that would mean that your father is his grandfather.

Look into a mirror, now point at your self when you say "that mans father, is my father son". So your saying that "that mans father" which is your father since your pointing to yourself, is my fathers son. Which is you, since your talking about your father.

Unless I am REALLY confused.. which I totally am. lol

[jdbnsn]

Quadruple post, sin him!

I swear to God I'm going to have to sit you children down and explain what a double, triple, and quadriple post is.

[Zephik]

I swear to God I'm going to have to sit you children down and explain what a double, triple, and quadriple post is.

It could be any variation of posting multiple times in a row, for all I care. SO HA.

lol I really don't care. I just point it out when people do it in any shape and/or form. Its funny if you ask me. :D

By your logic, you would be your own grandpa. There is a song about that btw. ;)

Fine! Then I'm my own damn grandpa! GAH!!! *rips computer in half and throws it out window*

STUPID RIDDLE HURT BRAIN! :mad:

lmao

[Luke122]

I'm convinced that the man is your son (his father is your fathers son, you), or he's your step brother's kid.

[Zephik]

I'm convinced that I don't want another riddle like this one again. lol

Who posted it btw? Has anyone got it right yet? We need to know, its dire to my mental states well being! lol

[BigJohnson]

That man is your father.

[Luke122]

That man is your father.

"that man's father is your fathers son"

So your father is his own father?

[Scotty]

They arent the same post four times, so that doesnt count as a quadruple post. ;)

Thats Jons logic thoguh, which as shown by this thread is seriously flawed.


*RUNS!*

[Zephik]

Well, I cheated. I googled for the answer. What did I get? Both of our answers. Evenly. I go here, its this, I go there, its that. So on and so on.

So I give up. We're both right, we're both wrong. The world will now implode in on itself. Thanks for playing. ^_^ lol

Well, I cheated. I googled for the answer. What did I get? Both of our answers. Evenly. I go here, its this, I go there, its that. So on and so on.

So I give up. We're both right, we're both wrong. The world will now implode in on itself. Thanks for playing. ^_^ lol

Jon, you nailed those that others didn't. I applaud your knowledge of riddling, it far surpasses mine.

Now the real question is, do I reveal the answer or let a few more brain cells implode? You guys are really close.

Brothers or sisters have I none, but that mans father is my fathers son. Who is that man?

The answer is me.

[Ironcat]

Sorry DrumThumper, you got the answer to your own riddle wrong.
The correct answer is "my son".
There are about a dozen of these and you either put in an extra word or left one out...

Brothers and sisters have I none,
but this man's son is my son.
I am "This Man".

Brothers and sisters have I none,
but this man's father's son is my father's son.
I am "This Man".

Brothers and sisters have I none,
but this man is my son.
"This Man" is my son.

Brothers and sisters have I none,
but this man's father is my son.
"This Man" is my grandson.

Brothers and sisters have I none,
but this man is my fathers son.
I am "This Man".

Brothers and sisters have I none,
but this man's father is my father's son.
"This Man" is my son.

Brothers and sisters have I none,
but this man's son is my father's son.
"This Man" is my father.

Brothers and sisters have I none,
but this man's father's son is my son.
"This Man" is my son.

Write it out on paper, etc, and you'll see your mistake.

[Luke122]

That was my first answer.. my son.

*suicide*

[Drum Thumper]

Here's the answer from my source:

I am my fathers son, so that mans father.

Which leads me to believe that the answer is me. Remember, it is from the riddler's point of view.

Sorry for the confusion.

Although...your answer seems to fit as well.

And sorta off topic; RE: the Adult Swim commercial. I see it too. And if it's what I think it is...then kudos to the creators of that ad lol. Looks like a profile shot of a woman.

Nice work on both of em. As soon as I saw the E one, I knew immediately, but didn't want to post, since it was similar to mine.

[Luke122]

And the moment that some of you have been waiting for...


The answer is me.

I still dont agree with this..

If "that man" is me, then I could substitute it into the riddle.

"that man's father is my fathers son" would be "my father is my fathers son".... which he's not.

[noopypoop]

I am greater than God,
I am more evil than the devil,
The richest men want me,
The poorest woman possesses me,

This is the oldest trick in the book!


The answer is nothing.


Nothing is greater then god
Nothing is more evil then the devil
Rich people need(want) nothing
Poor people have nothing
And if you eat nothing you will die

Nothing




Too slow.. Mach already got it!

"that man's father is my fathers son" would be "my father is my fathers son".... which he's not.

Never thought of it that way...I've been looking more at it in sort of a 3rd person perspective for lack of a better term. As in 'that man's father' is pointing at someone else, and just leads towards misdirection.

Three brothers share a family sport:
A non-stop marathon
The oldest one is fat and short
And trudges slowly on
The middle brother's tall and slim
And keeps a steady pace
The youngest runs just like the wind,
Speeding through the race
"He's young in years, we let him run,"
The other brothers say
"'Cause though he's surely number one,
He's second, in a way."
How is this possible?

The middle brother 'keeps a steady pace'.
That pace is faster than the young brother's.

[noopypoop]

Theought I might as well get a good one to revive the thread.....


Police recieved a call from the estate of Mr. Wellington. The maid was the only one in the house. He left to clean dishes about 15 minutes ago. When he came back, he saw the dead body with a bottle of cyanide clutched in Mr.Wellington's hands.It appeared as suicide but they still needed to prove it. After an autopsy, doctors concluded that the cause of death was infact cyanide."Then its settled" said the detective on the case,"Charge the maid for murder"he finished.

Why did the detective come to the conclusion that it was murder and not suicide?

[Trace]

Was it because it was a water bottle?

[Quakken]

If the bottle was full, the it would have been impossible for him to put the cap back on before he died so the maid must have killed him and put the bottle in his bed HA.

[Eclecticos]

Because the maid gave him the cyanide.

[jdbnsn]

Because the maid lied? Why would the maid leave the house to clean dishes?

[noopypoop]

All no but quakken is pretty close.

[Trace]

Well then, I'm lost

[Lord Ned]

Because when cyinade kills you you relax your muscles, thus he would have dropped the bottle and not had it clutched in his hands.

[Trace]

Ohhh didn't know that! Thanks!

[Zephik]

Because when cyinade kills you you relax your muscles, thus he would have dropped the bottle and not had it clutched in his hands.

Max Baxter, the teens best friend had another story. "It was a hot day. I was waiting in the long line for the bank.Finally I decided I would not wait because the line was too long. As I was walking out of the bank, I saw my friend on the other side of the street and the old man on my side. As they crossed,the old man kicked him in the leg. All my friend was trying to do was protect himself"

The detective thought for a while. Finally he said to the police man beside him"Charge Max for lying and assisted crime and charge his friend with assault."


How did the detective know Max was lying?

Yes, it is possible!

Fold it in half.

I have no clue.

Draw the circle, and fold the paper so that the circle touches the center then draw the center.

[Pointy_Stick]

Thats pretty much it. Draw the circle, fold the paper into the center of the circle and draw the dot. Well done.

[Lord Ned]

I r Smurt. Got the idea from some other riddle about connecting abc to each other and not crossing or something.

Edit:

Jim and his older brother kept fighting. Their mother got tired of the fighting and arguments and decided to punish them. She decided to punish them by making them stand on the same piece of newspaper in a way that they could NOT touch each other. How did she accomplish this?

haha thats easy:D she put the paper under a door with side sticking out on each side of the door:P

It was may 30th.The detective had just been called in for a case of a teenager punching an old man. Witnesses say that the teenager went up to the man and punched him in the face. Max Baxter, the teens best friend had another story. "It was a hot day. I was waiting in the long line for the bank.Finally I decided I would not wait because the line was too long. As I was walking out of the bank, I saw my friend on the other side of the street and the old man on my side. As they crossed,the old man kicked him in the leg. All my friend was trying to do was protect himself"

The detective thought for a while. Finally he said to the police man beside him"Charge Max for lying and assisted crime and charge his friend with assault."


How did the detective know Max was lying?

1. It was a cold and/or rainy day. Max said it was hot.
2. It was Sunday and the bank was shut. Max said he was in line.
3. The old man was in a wheelchair and had no legs with which to kick.
4. There was some sort of construction or repairs being done to the pavement on the other side of the road, so Max's friend could not have been there.
5. May 30 is 'International Max is Lying Day'.

Edit:
I'm a riddle in nine syllables,
An elephant, a ponderous house,
A melon strolling on two tendrils
O red fruit, Ivory, fine timber!
The loaf's big with it's yeasty rising
Money's new minted in this fat purse.
I'm a means, a stage, a cow in calf.
I've eaten a bag of green apples
Boarded the train there's no getting off.
