Riddle

[Torra]

A Little?? Actually, Frizzer, I think it's a cultural thing....In the U.S. Majicians don't usually juggle....that's a clown thing. ;D

Oh, No, now I have to think up a riddle.....who am I kidding, now I have to FIND a riddle....

[Torra]

[rind]

hmmm... ok.

a man walks out his door 50 paces to the south. he walks 25 paces east and sees a bear. he runs 50 paces north and is home. where is he?

[Hermione]

Um. That's got to be the North pole. It's the only place you could do that with. (I liked non-euclidian geometry in school).
But isn't the -no, it's the MAGNETIC north pole that's moving. I was wondering how he could build a home on a moving target!

[rind]

lol that was too easy for you!! even at 330am! ok your up next hun! lol

[Hermione]

Oh, bother. That's right.
Um, okay...
Ha!
This is really an old saying, but it's a fairly good riddle to try and guess what it's referring to:

Nature demands five, custom gives seven; comfort takes nine, laziness eleven.

Hee hee! Solve that!

[rind]

well it would seem....

hours of sleep per night?

ok.... i got one....

There are three words in the English dictionary that end in -GRY. Two are HUNGRY and ANGRY. The third one everyone uses and knows what it stands for. If you listened carefully, I already told you what the word is. What is the third word?

[krondore]

I know im new here, and its not my go , as i havnt solved any riddles here, but i thought i would put this one up , i hope thats okies

Two legs I have, and this will confound: only at rest do they touch the ground!
What am I?

[frizzer]

Yes,,its a play on words (again) oh sorry he did it differently,,its Dictionary,,,,there are 3 words in The english Dictionary,,the 3rd word is dictionary,,

Think of three words ending in gry. Angry and hungry are two of them. There are only three words in "the English language." What is the third word? Everyone knows what the third word means, and everyone uses it every day. And if you have listened very carefully, I have already told you what the third word is. What is it?

The answer has nothing to do with words ending in gry. The third sentence tells us that the phrase "the English language" has three words in it. The third word in this phrase is "language." The fourth sentence asks us about this third word. Thus, the answer to the riddle is "language." Because of quotation marks in the printed version of the riddle, this riddle is only effective when spoken.

[Hermione]

They both have quills?

Hmm, seems to me I've heard this before. But it's probably cheating to look it up.

[rind]

no by all means cheat and look it up!!! for gods sake i have been working on this riddle for YEARS!!!!

that's way too much for me to copy over here. My favorite answer though was "Because Poe wrote on both"

What starts with "e" ends with "e" and contains only one letter?

[frizzer]

Envelope

[foxblade69]

lol....i got one for ya all..

General Gasslefield, accused of high treason, is sentenced to death by the court-martial. He is allowed to make a final statement, after which he will be shot if the statement is false or will be hung if the statement is true. Gasslefield makes his final statement and is released.

what did he say??

Fox

[Hermione]

"I will be shot."

Hmm, if I got it, I have to give the next one, don't I?
Bother!
All right, try this one on for size:

It cannot be seen, cannot be felt,
Cannot be heard, cannot be smelt.
It comes first and follows after,
Ends life, kills laughter.

[krondore]

But the answer too the riddle is a wheel barrow.
(Again im sorry for the lateness of this reply, i had only just seen i had messages in here ) silly old fool that i am hehe.


It cannot be seen, cannot be felt,
Cannot be heard, cannot be smelt.
It comes first and follows after,
Ends life, kills laughter. ( darkness ? )

and if i am right ( not too sure if i am though lol this be my next riddle.

What is greater than God.
More evil than the Devil.
The poor have it.
The rich don't need it.
And if you eat it, you'll die?

[veela]

I believe it's "The rich need it", and the answer is "nothing".

[Hermione]

And "Darkness" was correct, so we're down to one riddle again, which Veela hasn't had a chance to post yet, so anyone who wants to get a second going is more than welcome.

[tharris]
