Yes, the riddle thread!
This thread will move along much like the movie picture game, except with riddles instead of movie pictures! And the answer probably isn't a movie. Get it right and confirmed, its your turn with a riddle.
Keep in mind this is not really a "joke" thread, mostly riddles/brain teasers.
Ultimate Rule: IT MUST HAVE AN ANSWER, not one of those "to keep you thinking till eternity's end" things.
I'll start of course:
I'm as small as an ant, as big as a whale. I'll approach like a breeze, but can come like a gale. By some I get hit, but all have shown fear. I'll dance to the music, though I can't hear. Of names I have many, of names I have one. I'm as slow as a snail, but from me you can't run. What am I?

Nope, but you're kind of close.

Now that I think about it, I think you're right. :P Would be nice if the riddle starter would stop by... :peek:
-
Your wish has been granted.
The answer is "A shadow."
Who ever posted that can go next.
-
Can go next by who answered? .. Can somebody by random just post the next riddle?
-
No, Crusty goes next unless you chooses to pass on her go. This way, there aren't 4 million riddles posted at once.
-
Here's mine:
I always point in the right direction. My instructions are written in black and white. Disobey me and pay the consequences. I will never say more than two words at a time. What am I?

I think it's your conscience, but I'll pass my riddle privilege to the next poster If I'm right.

Oh! A one way sign. =3
-
Someone said that already arf
-

Nooo, they said an "exit sign." There's a difference. Exit signs don't have arrows. :umm:
-
Winged Zephyr was right! (Sorry about my absence was a little busy with an exam and stuff)
The answer was a one way street sign.
-
Yay! Okay, here's my favourite riddle ever.  =3
A man is trapped in a box with just a mirror and a chair. How does he get out?
(Oh, and there are no doors or anything. Just the mirror and chair and the man in the box.)
-
The man hits his head with the mirror to make it sore.
Then he uses the saw to cut the chair in half and sticks them together to make a whole.
He then climbs into the hole and climbs out of the box.
He then shouts until he is hoarse.
The he jumps on the horse and rides off into the sunset.

Hmm... where'd the saw come from?

On the chance that I'm right I give my riddle privilege to the previous poster.

He broke the mirror by smacking it on his head, and used one of the pieces to saw the chair in half! I think, anywho.
-
I still need to know where Crusty thought the saw came from.
-
The man hits his head with the mirror to make it sore.
From there. (See the bold.)
-
I get it now I think. I'm just not sure how to word saw into it with him and the mirror though.
....and the mirror breaking as a result.
-
It's a play on the sound of the words.
-
Oh, what I meant was how to make a sentence using "saw" in it to fit this riddle.
I was thinking maybe something along the lines of him breaking the mirror with the chair and something about
because he "saw" himself or something...
-
Okay, well, even though I'm still not quite sure how "saw" comes from "sore" since they don't exactly sound the same... I'll take Crusty's answer, since it was indeed a play on words anyhow and she was the first at being the closest.
The answer I was looking for:
The man looked in the mirror,
took what he saw,
used the saw to cut the chair in half,
used the two halves to make a whole and
climbed out the hole.
The next riddle may commence.
-
He hit his head which made it sore. A homonym for that is saw. (Sounds the same but different spelling)
-
He hit his head which made it sore. A homonym for that is saw. (Sounds the same but different spelling)
That may be true in the UK, but in most parts of the US they sound very different, hence the confusion.

Ah, that would be it. I thought it may have been something like that, but I didn't realize where you hailed from, Crusty. :P
Anyway, now that that's all sorted out... Shall we move on?
-
Yeah, someone else can have my go. Already posted one.
-
Bethanie probably had the second closest answer, so I suppose it'll be her turn.
-
Oh, yay!
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?
-
The man didn't say anything.
Like I've done before, the next poster will get my riddle privilege.
-

Nope! The man did say something.
-
He said he'd get six years in prison. :P
If I'm right, since I just went, someone else can go.
-

Ding ding ding! You got it!
He said, "You will sentence me to six years in prison", which means if the judge sentenced him for six for telling a false statement, the statement would be true, which means it deserved a four year sentence, and if he sentenced him to four years, then his statement would be false, and so he would have to be sentenced to six years. Rather than go against his word, the judge let him free.
NEXT!
-
Well, since WingedZephyr passed her turn, and nobody else is posting, I guess I'll try a riddle.
He who makes it, has no need for it.
He who buys it, cannot use it.
He who uses it, does not know it.
Good luck!
-
a coffin?
-
And Vista is a winner! I guess that was too easy, huh.
-
I can't think of a good riddle...anyone else has a good one? :)
-
This is probably easy and may not even count as a real riddle, but... *shrugs*
What's the longest word you can type using ONLY the first row of letters on the keyboard?
-
I don't know what you mean by the first row, but I do know that the longest word that can be typed with one hand is "stewardesses."
-
By using the first row, I mean using the top row of letters on a standard QWERTY keyboard.
(In other words, using only: Q W E R T Y U I O and P)
So, "stewardesses" is incorrect.
-
Okay, I see what you're asking for now. But I had to cheat to come up with an answer, so I won't post it.
:snicker: In other words...
To peer up to your upper tier query, I require true wit.
I quit.
-
Okay. Anyone else gonna take a stab at it?
-

Please answer the previous riddle before posting a new one.
-

-
Question does the word have to be real ??? just asking :)
-
pretty sure it does. priority?
-
my guess is: "qwertyuiop" (kinda like taking a swing while blindfolded)
-
Yes the word is real, and dongofett's answer is incorrect.
This riddle's been up for a good long time, so I'm going to go ahead and say the answer to avoid killing this thread entirely.
The answer is "typewriter."
Anyone with a new riddle can go next.
-
