Title: The Riddle thread!
Post by: CrevanFox on May 09, 2007, 03:14:34 PM
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?

Post by: crustybread5 on June 05, 2007, 09:54:38 AM
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.
Title: Re: The Riddle thread!
Post by: WingedZephyr on June 05, 2007, 05:56:00 PM
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.)
Title: Re: The Riddle thread!
Post by: crustybread5 on June 05, 2007, 08:16:37 PM
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.

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.
Title: Re: The Riddle thread!

I still need to know where Crusty thought the saw came from.

Title: Re: The Riddle thread!
Post by: ephemral on June 05, 2007, 09:57:36 PM
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.
Title: Re: The Riddle thread!
Post by: tweak on June 05, 2007, 10:50:17 PM
It's a play on the sound of the words.
Title: Re: The Riddle thread!
Post by: ephemral on June 05, 2007, 11:03:11 PM
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...
Title: Re: The Riddle thread!
Post by: WingedZephyr on June 06, 2007, 12:37:53 AM
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.
Title: Re: The Riddle thread!
Post by: crustybread5 on June 06, 2007, 07:17:42 AM
He hit his head which made it sore. A homonym for that is saw. (Sounds the same but different spelling)

Post by: JFPulse on June 06, 2007, 08:11:22 AM

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?
Title: Re: The Riddle thread!

Yeah, someone else can have my go. Already posted one.
Title: Re: The Riddle thread!
Post by: WingedZephyr on June 06, 2007, 02:58:07 PM
Bethanie probably had the second closest answer, so I suppose it'll be her turn.
Title: Re: The Riddle thread!
Post by: BethanieStealsCheese on June 06, 2007, 11:15:09 PM
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?
Title: Re: The Riddle thread!
Post by: ephemral on June 06, 2007, 11:31:20 PM
The man didn't say anything.

He said he'd get six years in prison.  :P

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!

Post by: JFPulse on June 10, 2007, 04:09:46 PM
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!

What's the longest word you can type using ONLY the first row of letters on the keyboard?
Title: Re: The Riddle thread!
Post by: JFPulse on June 17, 2007, 04:06:49 AM
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."
Title: Re: The Riddle thread!
Post by: WingedZephyr on June 17, 2007, 04:39:34 AM
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.
Title: Re: The Riddle thread!
Post by: JFPulse on June 17, 2007, 11:41:12 AM

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."
