Title: Riddles
Post by: Felix on May 31, 2009, 03:12:51 PM
I have a riddle.

                 Alive without breath
                    Cold as death
                    Dressed in chain mail never clinking
                    Never thirsty, ever drinking.


What is it? ;) CLUE-A CERTAIN BOOK HAS THE ANSWER; WRITTEN BY TOLKIEN.

3 Businessmen go into a hotel to rent a room. The manager says it's 30 dollars a room... so the three men pitched in 10 dollars each and got the key and went to their room.  (Check the math if it's correct)

5 minutes later...

The manager realizes that the 3 men are going in a convention and as such, shouldve received a discount in the room and shouldve paid only 25 dollars. So he took 5 singles and gave it to the bellhop and to give it to the 3 men. (Check the math if it's correct)

On the way to the room, the bellhop decided to steal 2 dollars and put it in his pocket. He decided to just give each men a dollar each... so he knocks on the door and give them 3 dollars (check the math if it's correct).

QUESTION: If each men got a dollar back, that means each men paid 9 dollars.  9 x 3 = $27  plus the two dollars in the bellhop's pocket = $29.   Where does the other dollar go?


If u know the answer dont ruin it for those who dont :)

GASP -- I'M POSTING A RIDDLE NOT FROM THE HOBBIT. (I heard/saw this one in school :p)

(https://www.cactusforums.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi725.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fww254%2Frawrlolsauce%2Fpainting.jpg&hash=e0026b7bdd4aab35e35e9ec3aa735fed46fbed6f)

As you can see in my drawing, 4 men are buried up to their neck in dirt. Each of them CANNOT turn their head and may only see the people in front of them (A can only see the wall, B can only see the Wall, C can only see B, and D can see both C and B). Between them, the men know there are 2 white hats and two black hats. The men cannot talk to each other nor give each other hints, and each man doesn't know what color of hat he is wearing.

If one of the men does not call out his hat color within the next minute, they all lose the game.

Riddle: Which man called out his hat color, and how did he know?
Title: Re: Riddles
Post by: Rrulez on May 31, 2009, 10:28:08 PM
Riddle #1
"My first, tho’ water, cures no thirst,
My next alone has soul,
And when he lives upon my first,
He then is called my whole."

Riddle #2
When my first is a task to a young girl of spirit,
And my second confines her to finish the piece,
How hard is her fate! but how great is her merit
If by taking my whole she effects her release!

Riddle #3
I talk, but I do not speak my mind
I hear words, but I do not listen to thoughts
When I wake, all see me
When I sleep, all hear me
Many heads are on my shoulders
Many hands are at my feet
The strongest steel cannot break my visage
But the softest whisper can destroy me

Nice, took me a while.

10x3-2 does not equal 9x3.

@everyone, please don't post another riddle till the previous is answered. :P

EDIT: @Caleb, the man on the left is looking in the mirror. That's the only way he'd know two black hats and two white.  ;D

EDIT: @Music Maker, he must have started home cause three lefts would bring you back to the same place?  :-\

Another solution is that the first man took an apple from the tree and each other man took an apple from the last person who had it.  Therefore they all took an apple and the tree still had 49 left.  This is actually more likely than a man having the name "each".

I truly love this riddle:

A bear hunter went walking about with his gun when he spotted a bear which sat 100 yards due north of himself. In order to sneak up on the bear, the hunter traveled 100 yards due east, then he turned and fired his gun due north, and in so doing, he hit the bear!

Now for the question: What color was the bear?

Well not really a riddle but if u can solve it fast then good lol

U have a certain amount of $$ and u enter a casino. There is an entrance fee of $20. Once u entered, u gambled all ur remaining money and doubled it, and u left the casino. There was an exit fee of $20. After that, you went in a second casion. There is an entrance fee of $20. Once u entered, u gambled all ur remaining money and doubled it, and u left the casino. There was an exit fee of $20. Then u went in the third casino. There is an entrance fee of $20. Once u entered, u gambled all ur remaining money and doubled it, and u left the casino. There was an exit fee of $20. When u got out of the 3rd Casino, you have $0.00 left.

Question: How ch money did u start with?
Title: Re: Riddles
Post by: Red Dragon Thorn on June 01, 2009, 10:48:54 PM
I'm pretty sure its $52.50

52.50- 20 = 32.50
32.50 *2 = 65
65-20 = 45
45 -20 = 25
25 * 2 = 50
50 - 20 = 30
30- 20 = 10
10 *2 = 20
20 - 20 = 0

Ok, anyone know Einstein's riddle? Well I stumbled upon it on the net and it was said only 2% of the world's population can solve it.

- In a street there are five houses, painted five different colors.

- In each house lives a person of different nationality.

- These five homeowners each drink a different kind of beverage, smoke different brand of cigar and keep a different pet.

Einstein's riddle is: Who owns the fish?

Necessary clues:

1. The British man lives in a red house.
2. The Swedish man keeps dogs as pets.
3. The Danish man drinks tea.
4. The Green house is next to, and on the left of the White house.
5. The owner of the Green house drinks coffee.
6. The person who smokes Pall Mall rears birds.
7. The owner of the Yellow house smokes Dunhill.
8. The man living in the center house drinks milk.
9. The Norwegian lives in the first house.
10. The man who smokes Blends lives next to the one who keeps cats.
11. The man who keeps horses lives next to the man who smokes Dunhill.
12. The man who smokes Blue Master drinks beer.
13. The German smokes Prince.
14. The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.
15. The Blends smoker lives next to the one who drinks water.

Since the other two could have multiple answers, I will answer this one:
here are three riddles.

#1
ther was a man  running home he took a left then he took another left after that left another left, when he got home ther wher two men in masks waiting for him.

question: what wher the men doing ther? why wher they ther?  why wher they wearing masks?
First, the man was a baseball player who is running the bases and returning to home plate.

The two men were the catcher and the umpire, and they were waiting for the player to run all of the bases.

They were wearing the traditional facemasks of the catcher and umpire to protect them from the flying baseballs. (This question was unecessary because it just falls into place from the aforementioned facts.)

Riddle #1
"My first, tho’ water, cures no thirst,
My next alone has soul,
And when he lives upon my first,
He then is called my whole."

Riddle #2
When my first is a task to a young girl of spirit,
And my second confines her to finish the piece,
How hard is her fate! but how great is her merit
If by taking my whole she effects her release!

Riddle #3
I talk, but I do not speak my mind
I hear words, but I do not listen to thoughts
When I wake, all see me
When I sleep, all hear me
Many heads are on my shoulders
Many hands are at my feet
The strongest steel cannot break my visage
But the softest whisper can destroy me

OK, good news is that I must be in the top 2% of the world's population.
Bad news is that it took me forever to finish this.
Good news is that I don't think anyone else has finished it yet, so I'm not that slow.
Bad news is that I don't know that anyone else tried.
Good news is that I know who owned the fish.
Bad news is that I don't want to spoil the surprise for everyone else by telling.
Good news is that logic puzzles are fun, so have at it.
Bad news is that this is the toughest one I've ever done.
Good news is that it's summer, so you've got plenty of time :)

And even though the moon is bright, it comes out at night and only reflects light from the sun.  So I can call it dark, right?

My riddle (Here is a good one for you pol.)

A king decided to let a prisoner try to escape the prison with his life. The king placed 2 marbles in a jar that was glued to a table. One of the marbles was supposed to be black, and one was supposed to be blue.

If the prisoner could pick the blue marble, he would escape the prison with his life. If he picked the black marble, he would be executed. However, the king was very mean, and he wickedly placed 2 black marbles in the jars and no blue marbles. The prisoner witnessed the king only putting 2 black marbles in the jars.

If the jar was not see-through and the jar was glued to the table and the table was bolted to the floor and that the prisoner was mute so he could not say anything, how did he escape with his life?

               Cannot be seen, cannot be smelt
                  Cannot be heard, cannot be felt
                  It lies behind stars
                  and deep holes it fills
                  It comes first and follows after
                  Ends life, kills laughter.

                    Three guys went in a hotel. One guy claimed to be Superman. One claimed to be Spiderman. The other claimed to be Allah. They all said that they could survive jumping off the hotel, which was five stories high. Superman jumped off and died. Allah jumped off and died. Spiderman jumped off and lived.

How did that happen?

The answer is The Human Brain

Match wits with the Riddler. Batman the Animated series Episode, If you are so smart, why aren't you rich? First episode with E. Nygma Becoming the Riddler.


My riddle (Here is a good one for you pol.)

A king decided to let a prisoner try to escape the prison with his life. The king placed 2 marbles in a jar that was glued to a table. One of the marbles was supposed to be black, and one was supposed to be blue.

If the prisoner could pick the blue marble, he would escape the prison with his life. If he picked the black marble, he would be executed. However, the king was very mean, and he wickedly placed 2 black marbles in the jars and no blue marbles. The prisoner witnessed the king only putting 2 black marbles in the jars.

If the jar was not see-through and the jar was glued to the table and the table was bolted to the floor and that the prisoner was mute so he could not say anything, how did he escape with his life?
Did he pull out both marbles?
He pulled out a marble and ate it then he looked at the other one since it was black the one he picked must have been blue
Correct sir.
