Zazubat Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 Somebody in the status updates mentioned that there should be a thread, so here it is. Anyways as always in these games the guy/gal who gets it right makes the next riddle. I am not good with riddles, so I just found one online. RULES: Only 1 riddle at a time. Don't post an other riddle until the riddler says it's correct. The person to get it right FIRST makes the next riddle. [font=Arial][size=3]What is greater than god, more evil than the devil, the poor have it, the rich need it, and if you eat it you will eventually die?[/size][/font] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeguBrit Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 Nothing. According to Christianity, nothing is greater than God or more evil than the devil. The poor have nothing, the rich need nothing else and if you eat nothing you die from starvation. I'll do one now: I can run through a marsh and never get dirty. I can swim in the sea and never get wet. I can stay in a fire for a lifetime and never burn. I am bound to the light and sworn to the dark. What am I?

Aix Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 That one is so old... I've heard it sooo many times. Here's two more, they are still relatively well known:[list=1] [*]What gets wetter the more it dries? [*]What has a mouth but does not talk, always runs but never walks?

VictorSempra Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 Edit: The point is to actually answer it, Aix. I'm going to guess a shadow. 1. Towel 2. River. WAY too easy on these two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zazubat Posted December 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 Please wait until the riddlerer says it's correct, even if it's a common one okay? Anyways, yes it's nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeguBrit Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 My turn: Four married men were in a boat on the lake. The boat turns over, and all four men sink to the bottom of the lake, yet not a single man got wet. Why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~British Soul~ Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 Ok my turn: Four men are sentenced to death by firing squad: A, B, C and D. The head executioner is in a good mood and decides to play a game with them and if they win he'll let them live. They're buried neck deep so that only their heads are above the ground and can only look forward and nowhere else. A, B and C are on buried on 1 side of a wall behind each other, facing the wall so that A can see the back of B and C's heads, B can see the back of C's head and C can only see the wall. The 4th man, D, is on the other side of the wall and cannot see the other 3. Hats are put on the men; A gets a black hat, B gets a white hat, C gets a black hat and D gets a white hat. They're told that there are 2 black hats and 2 white hats, but don't know that they were put on in an alternating sequence. The head executioner then gives them five minutes for one person to say what the colour of their hat is. It has to be the first sentence that comes out of any person's mouth; so the men can't communicate with each other. At the last minute one man gets it right. Who is he and how did he do it?

LeguBrit Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 B. Man 'D' certainly can't see anything, so it's up to the other three. Man 'C' can't see much of anything either so he doesn't have a clue. Man 'A' can see the two in front of him if he strains his neck a bit, but he knows that there are four of them in total with two wearing black and two wearing white hats. He sees one of each in front of him and therefore isn't certain which color his is. If he saw two of any color in front of him, then he'd obviously know his was an opposite color. But there aren't, there is one of each. So he keeps quiet. Meanwhile, man 'B' can only see one color in front of him - white - and he initially isn't certain of his color either. But time goes on and he figures that if the man behind him saw two of the same color he'd have yelled out his color by now, but two minutes have gone by and it's quiet enough to hear a pin drop. At this time he realizes that since man 'A' isn't certain then he must be seeing one of each color and it therefore stumped as to his own color. So..... Man 'B,' after two minutes figures that if man 'A' is seeing one of each and he (man 'B') can see a white hat in front of him then he is most certainly wearing a black hat and yells it out.... Man 'B' saves the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
