Out of boredom and because its 4am :blink:...

A riddle game :wacko:

Rules: No GOOGLE, you won't have fun that way. Don't just post the answer, we want to see how you arrived at it, so explain.

To try to turn this into a game, the person who solves a riddle will give the answer included with how they figured it out. Wait for the answer then after its confirmed anyone can start the next riddle. Of course the goal is to have the last riddle unanswered.

This one isn't too difficult.

[zig]

the german?
drew 5 little boxes then went through the clues and wrote down the colors of the houses
from decyphering the clues then started adding the owners, drink,pet smokes til I had them
all used up.

[SNOWDAWG]

Came up with the same.

Here is one.


You are about to be executed and the executioner tells you that you can say something.
If you lie you will be beheaded and if you tell the truth you will be hung.

What is the one thing you can say to save your life?

[Scrye]

save your life?

you can`t say anything to save your life cause if you tell a lie then you die and if you
tell the truth, you still die.. so its a trick question...

[Gragoon]

u just dont say ANYTHING..thats it! I guess

if u lie u die and if u dont lie u die too..but if u dont say anythink u cant lie and u cant tell the truth.

ok..Im sure this is correct so here is my question:
u are in a dark room. in the room there is wood stove. u have a cande and one match.
what will u set fire to first? the wood stove, the cande or the match?

[Squish]

the match.

[Miagi]

German one was right.



At 4am the rules kind of made sense, now they don't. I guess it would be better to wait for an answer heh.

It doesn't matter who posts a riddle as long as theres only one riddle to be solved at a time.

Back to the riddle.

Cande=candle?

If its one of those matches you have to strike against the box then you can't light anything since you don't have the box?

[Gragoon]

Cande=candle?

If its one of those matches you have to strike against the box then you can't light anything since you don't have the box?

yes miagi..cande = candle..

its one of the matches u can strike against somethink like the ground or a wall..butr actually that doesnt matter wether u need a box or not..u light tghe match first

[SNOWDAWG]

sorry Gragoon thats not it.
There is one thing you can say that will save your life.

[Miagi]

Is it...

I feel pretty Oh so pretty
I feel pretty and witty and ...
And I pity Any girl who isn't me today
I feel charming Oh so charming
It's alarming how charming I feel
And so pretty That I hardly can believe I'm real

That has to be it..

Is it something like saying "I'm telling you the truth, everything I say is a lie."?

[DragonLady23]

LOL yes that's it Miagi it I feel pretty song right who says u need a "BOX" to light a match:D

[Miagi]

Can we have a hint Snow? :P

[Squish]

Don't kill me?

or, save my life?

[GRITS]

miagi's Im telling the truth that I am lying wasnt the right answer? it is like an infinite loop.

[SNOWDAWG]

Nope Miagi is wrong :P

[Miagi]

I don't think snow even knows the answer.

* Miagi strangles Snow, GIVE US A HINT!.

I think some info is missing from this..

[SNOWDAWG]

The h:thumb:int is in the question. LOL

[Gragoon]

... the executioner tells you that you can say something...

u just say, "something"

[[CAKE]rUsh]

well i don't know about you guys but i'm going to be beheaded.

next riddle

You come to a fork in the road.
One path leads to your destination and the other leads to certain doom.
There are two people standing at the fork.
One of them will always lie to you and the other will always tell the truth.
You can only ask one of them one question to figure out which path to take.
What do you ask them?

[SNOWDAWG]

Woot. Rush gets it:thumb:

[GRITS]

Ask one of them.....If I ask the other guy which road to take what will he tell me?
then ask the other guy which road to take


or I think you could probably figure it out just asking the first question but that takes more thinking:P

like if you ask what will the other guy say.....then just take the other road because
the guy who lies will not tell you the truth about what the truth guy would tell you and the guy who tells the truth will tell you the lie that the other guy would really tell....so yeah take the other one that should work...how many questions do I get...yeah that would be the one

[Miagi]

rUsh,Jan 12 2005, 01:01 PM] You can only ask one of them one question to figure out which path to take.
What do you ask them?

new riddle ?

Three men checked into a hotel room for which they paid $30. The next day, the manager realized that the men had been overcharged. She gave the bellhop $5 to return to the three men. On the way to their room the bellhop decided to keep $2 for himself, and give each of the three men one dollar. The three men had now paid $9 each, or a total of $27. This plus the $2 the bellhop kept makes a total of $29. What happened to the other dollar?
