Title: Riddle Me This
Post by: Tatter on November 04, 2011, 05:31:39 AM
so in short i beat arkham city and am.. was, drooling over my favorite Batman Badguy, The Riddler, whom i was dissapointed to see isn't in the next movie (bane? catwoman? do we have any badguys with sustanence? or uh, at least a high popularity raiting???)

anyway rant aside, i love the riddler, so here i will post some riddles, i will try to make MOST of them original, of course if i'm, lets say sick, busy, or just being lazy, i might take riddles already made, in any case, try not to cheat, this is a test of your wits, your skill, your sharpness,
googling the answer so that you "look" smart dosen't make you smart  :/

So an original one to start you off with,

???" i am something nobody ever wants, until they have something else first, but nobody can ever have, without having that something else first, and yet that something else is something most do want. What am i?"???

now i may head for bed so ill check on this tomorrow some time

Here is one of my favorites.


"It cannot be seen, cannot be felt, cannot be heard, cannot be smelt. It hides behind stars and under hills, and empty holes it fills. It comes first and follows after. Ends life. Kills laughter."

True. Points for you WhiteWolf (Also, great Christmas themed Avatar).


Since that took nearly no time, here's two to set your brains on. The first will be number 1, the second number 2.


1) I am always hungry and will die if not fed constantly. To some I am a luxury, to others a danger. Don't come to close, for all that I touch I consume. What am I?




[And because I absolutely adore these older ones...]


2)  This thing, all things devours. Birds, beasts, trees, flowers. Gnaws iron, bites steel, grinds stones to meal, slays King, ruins town, and brings tall mountains down. What is it?

This is an unusual paragraph. I'm curious how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it? It looks so plain you would think nothing was wrong with it! In fact, nothing is wrong with it! It is unusual though. Study it, and think about it, but you still may not find anything odd. But if you work at it a bit, you might find out! Try to do so without any coaching!

Why so unusual???
Title: Re: Riddle Me This

what do the snail say when it is on top of the turtles shell?
Title: Re: Riddle Me This
Post by: Otebon Albrecht on November 25, 2011, 11:30:07 PM
to answer Roxy Wolf...


The snail says WEEEEEEEE!!!!! (as the turtle is fast to the snail).


To reply to JC_Shepherd...


The beginning of eternity and the end of time and space is the letter "E".
The paragraph is unusual because it lacks the letter "E", a common letter in the English language.

I love these old ones, but they always seem to be guessed very quickly. Ah well, here's another pair of them...


"Thirty white horses on a red hill. First they champ, then they stamp, and then they stay still. What are they?"


"A box without hinges, key, or lid, yet inside Golden Treasure is hid. What is it?"

You are right about the egg. The egg is a box without hinges and hides a golden treasure.


About the horses though, Macid, you aren't even close. Nice try though!  :P

Otebon12

the answer is teeth
 

An old man wanted to leave all of his money to one of his three sons, but he didn't know which one he should give it to. He gave each of them a few coins and told them to buy something that would be able to fill their living room. The first man bought straw, but there was not enough to fill the room. The second bought some sticks, but they still did not fill the room. The third man bought two things that filled the room, so he obtained his father's fortune. What were the two things that the man bought?

There once was an evil wizard. He took 3 woman from their homes and turned them into rose bushes that looked exactly alike. He put them in his garden. One of the woman had a husband and children and begged the wizard to let her see them. He agreed. At night, he brought the woman to her house. In the morning he came and took her home. One day the husband decided to go rescue her. So he snuck into the wizard's garden. He looked and looked at the 3 identical rose bushes trying to figure out which could be his wife. Suddenly, he knew the answer and he took his wife home. How did he know which rose bush was his wife?

To Winged Zephyr -


Yes, the answer is nothing. Good job.


To JC -


Did the woman take something with her when she returned to the garden? Something like a strip of ribbon or an identifier of that nature?

because the bush she was turned into was still in the pot the wizard used to take her home with
 
either that or its cuz she could talk(it does say "and begged the wizard to let her see them.")

what happens to a plant when it is left outside all night
Title: Re: Riddle Me This

it is dying and wither, it may also spurt... is that the right answer?
Title: Re: Riddle Me This
Post by: JC_Shepherd on November 29, 2011, 09:56:49 PM
no sorry :)

think about what is left on the plants when they are outside all night or what you feel on the grass in the morning and that should help you put the pieces together

hmm, this is tricky... is it an old way of counting time? and if so, is it an hourglass, the stuff in it falls one by one, and when you turn it, it repeats... am I right? my mom told me that I should think about something counting time before the handwatch came... so I came to the hourglass... and I hope I'm right... I dunno if this is a fail...

Your mother was right. It's the sand in an hourglass (I'm not going to make you be that specific).


How about this...


Each morning I appear to lie at your feet.
All day I will follow no matter how fast you run.
Yet I nearly perish in the midday sun.

You know what kind of riddles I really dislike: Word games.


My first inclination was "the horizon" until I read the second half of the puzzle. Nothing seemed to fit as nothing fit both halves of the puzzle. Then I began to count letters...


The letter D begins each dawn.

that's right, the letter D


I'll take one of my own riddles now,


I'm in every mind, in every person, in every being, I exist because of something, as long as that something exist, I will always be here to haunt it, I exist to make ppl suffer, and make them bleed, I am the reason of greed. what am I?

Title: Re: Riddle Me This
Post by: Otebon Albrecht on December 11, 2011, 11:10:25 PM
Then I have to say Evil or Corruption.


Greed is a corrupt desire. That which is pure has (by definition) has no corruption and nothing is pure except the divine.


Am I any closer?


This is a good riddle by the way. Very intriguing.

Here's a poem riddle by Emily Dickinson


I am, in truth, a yellow fork
From tables in the sky
By inadvertent finers dropped
The awful cutlery
Of Mansions never quite disclosed
And never quite concealed
The apparatus of the dark
To ignorance revealed


And if that is too easy, here's one of my own wording. I'm terrible at poems, so...


A symbol of beauty, I am soft and fragile
I reach for the sky, but others desire me
Take care when you touch me, for I draw blood
And then we will show the same colors.

It is a plant.


And (please forgive me for this) but it's pleasing to see you bugged by it.  X3  I based the form of the riddle off of another, but I wrote it. It's making me happy that I created a riddle that's puzzling someone and isn't just a simple fix.

You'd lose that bet Roxy. It's not a carnivorous plant, but it does draw blood. Focus on the last two lines...

I never sleep, I never eat. but I have energy all day. if one ore more of my brains stop working, the other brains can get the job done... and then I can get the broken brains switched. often I dominate others, and I am most likely also one of the reason this forrum is working, what am I?

The puzzle is a word game. The trick is the last line:


"Can you guess the riddle?"


The correct answer is "no". There is no correct answer as nothing does all the things described in the lines of the riddle, so it's impossible to guess. I'll accept nothing however, as it's just trolling The Sad Guy too much.

Stronger than want, greater than desire, can burn, and is central to a person's soul... Depending upon your philosophical views (I'm rather Hobbesian) I would say that it would be one of the seven deadly sins. In this case, Jealousy or Envy.


Eh... I'm rather depressing when it comes to philosophical riddles and the like. I have to stick to the darker answers like that.


Jealousy, Envy, or Avarice.
Title: Re: Riddle Me This
Post by: kivabunny on December 24, 2011, 12:21:45 AM
nope the answer is eluding you ... it is what love is made of and what creates emotions...it is what moves you forward in life
Title: Re: Riddle Me This
Post by: Otebon Albrecht on December 24, 2011, 02:21:43 AM
Well, drat. Me and my Hobbesian views mixed with a practical and scientific mind...


The origin of Love and what makes emotions are biochemical reactions... Surprisingly enough, a different set of reactions also move you forward, but I doubt that's the answer.


This always happens when I'm stumped by something, which is usually what happens around riddles when I haven't heard them before or know their origin and thereby can use the psychological profile of the area / time to think it out... (Yep, I'm that guy)


It is stronger than Desire, and more powerful than Want, but is not a base feeling. It is central to the soul...


Is it thought? The mind? How about Need?

A river or a stream or a creek.
