I have a riddle for you, well more of a scientific quandary, but a riddle nonetheless.

If a tree falls in the woods, but nothing is around to hear it, does it make a sound?
Title: Re: The Karma Of Riddles
Post by: Zinc on April 18, 2009, 05:12:00 AM
Yeah, I guest that was easy wasn't it. I post a much more harder one next time.
 ??? ... I say it does make a sound.
Title: Re: The Karma Of Riddles
Post by: Gabag on April 18, 2009, 05:13:00 AM
Yes it does make a sound because you can catch the vibrations of the fall.

 ??? ... ... ... ... ... huh??? Did you even understand what you just said?
Title: Re: The Karma Of Riddles
Post by: Gabag on April 18, 2009, 05:29:27 AM
Yes with very sensitive equipment you can catch the vibration that a tree sends as it falls to the ground.

 grr ... okay, enough, enough! This one should be a Iittle harder...
A man rides into town on Friday. He stays three nights and leaves on friday.
How is this possible? ???

Post by: Gabag on April 18, 2009, 06:02:21 AM
His horse is named Friday

The pet store owner says that this parrot will repeat whatever it hears. The customer who bought the parrot says that the parrot doesn't repeat what it hears. However the shopkeeper was correct about the parrot being able to repeat what it heard. How is this possible?

How can it be himself? "my father's son" would be him, which would mean he is the father of the person because "this man's father is my father's son" would be "this man's father is [me]" :P Silly.

 :drool: Now this one will really get your head spinning.
Not far from Madrid, there is a large wooden barn. The barn is completely empty except for a dead man hanging from the middle of the central rafter. The rope around his neck is ten feet long and his feet are three feet off the ground. The nearest wall is 20 feet away from the man. There is a puddle of water nearby. It is not possible to climb up the wall or along the rafters. The man hanged himself.
How did he do it? ???

He stood on a large block of ice, which then melted :P

This riddle was donated to us by Gabag! :)
2 fathers and 2 sons go fishing. Each of them catches one fish. So why do they only bring home 3 fish?
 ^_^V GOOD LUCK!!!

Post by: The Bovine Rodent on April 18, 2009, 07:18:07 PM
There is a son, a father, and a grandfather- the son and the father are sons, the father and the grandfather are fathers.

There were two men. After an arduous, week-long hike, they finally reached the top of a never-before-climbed mountain. While celebrating their accomplishment, they came upon a cabin full of people. How is this possible?

 :) Bovine was able to answer both questions! I'll award your second karma when an hour has past.

the ppl got air lifted, or got flown up to the mountian, they didn't climb up.
Title: Re: The Karma Of Riddles
Post by: The Bovine Rodent on April 18, 2009, 07:28:50 PM
Nope ^^ keep guessing
Title: Re: The Karma Of Riddles
Post by: Zinc on April 18, 2009, 07:35:04 PM
The other people took the to the top of the mountain, which means they never had to climb it.

they walked down the mountain and then came across a cabin full of people?
Title: Re: The Karma Of Riddles
Post by: Golge on April 18, 2009, 08:31:07 PM
it was a time warp, the people climbed up the mountain and through a rift in the time space continuum and saw themselves a in the future living in the cabin they would have built...also they had friends over

that HAS to be it XD
Title: Re: The Karma Of Riddles
Post by: Zinc on April 18, 2009, 08:43:30 PM
I mean like those lifts they have on ski mountains where you sit down and they take you to the summit.

They celebrated after climbing back down?

 :th_PyongLlora: Sorry I haven't posted another riddle yet. I lost my sheet, but as soon as I find some more I'll post them.
Okay, okay bovine we don't know the answer, so tell us... please! =3

Post by: Dan Witty on April 27, 2009, 05:50:10 AM
The people at the top never left in the first place, aka natives, and therefore never technically climbed the mountains themselves?
Title: Re: The Karma Of Riddles
Post by: Renaud Magicpaw on April 27, 2009, 12:46:20 PM
I say they may be halucinating due to a lack of oxygen and only think they come across a cabin of people, that or there celebration caused an avalanch and swept them to the botom of the mountain and they stumbled across the cabin of people down there.

What has a bed but never sleeps, it's always running never walking.

@ RoRo's riddle: Umm...a truck?
Title: Re: The Karma Of Riddles

Nope, sorry Vee.
Title: Re: The Karma Of Riddles
Post by: The Bovine Rodent on April 27, 2009, 10:13:05 PM
@ RoRo: a river.

Okay, here's the answer: it was an airline cabin- and, no they didn't technically fly there, they fell. Aka crashed.
