Ivernus
11-05-2009, 05:11 AM
Mmm maybe you should give abit more information rather than give the answer after 5 more tries? Its a rather open ended compared to the others
Edit: Also another go: Bertha was never caught

Sitting across from you are two men, Henry and Paul
You are told that 3 of these coins are real, and two are fake
Also, one of the men across from you can only tell the truth, the other will always lie.
You are then told you must figure out which three are real based on the following statements:
Henry: "If you want to pick all three real ones, dont pick 1, 2 and 3"
Paul: "Mmm you'd be better off picking 1, 3 and 5 to get all the real ones"
Henry: "I would recommend the even numbers those, they're all real"
Paul: "The numbers above three are all real!"
Henry: "Whatever you do though, don't pick the last one"

What could I be?

(Not to sure if 5 is a good one but oh well >.<)

Lovelight
11-05-2009, 07:03 AM
Hmm.. another guess: A poem?
If not: A story

Ivernus
11-05-2009, 07:10 AM
Getting closer :O, heck those ones are almost acceptable answers, almost :P. Try thinking more about the 4th and 5th lines for it, thats probably the only bit exluding those 2 answers

Lovelight
11-05-2009, 07:12 AM
AHA! A test?

Ivernus

Density?

Ivernus
11-06-2009, 12:29 AM
Nope, try to think more about the fourth line, thats really the only part excluding your guesses

Riida
11-06-2009, 12:33 AM
Hmm...
Fire?
Earthquakes?
Water?
Oxygen?
....Dx.

Ivernus
11-06-2009, 12:39 AM

Nah, none of those sorry Riida >.<.
I would say your answer of gravity was on the right track...sorta

Riida
11-06-2009, 01:09 AM
INERTIA!
I can't think of anything else Dx.

Ivernus
11-06-2009, 01:23 AM
Aww, well sorry but thats not it either v.v.
What I meant when I said gravity was close is that, its something you can't see, yet it has a very visible effect on stuff around us. The answer to the riddle is like that aswell (but it has nothing to do with weight, density,gravity)

Lovelight
11-06-2009, 01:38 AM
10: An earthquake!

11-06-2009, 01:40 AM

In regard to the weird word riddle, what definition of weird are we using? Or is that part of the trick to the question?

This one is kinda easy. I made it for the special Bunni community before I leave.

Before a famous detective left, he left the answer in a code.
Your three suspects are Bill, Tom, and Edd.

Here is the code:

710 57735 3H. 5508 51 11|8

Can you figure out the code and who should be arrested? Don't guess, and give me a full answer!

I may tell another puzzle when I come back.

He should arrest Bill, the code needs to be reflected by a mirror which gives:
Bill Is Boss. He Sells Oil

Been awhile since I've done one so

As each second ticks by, I slowly approach
Eventually becoming impossible close
Yet no matter how long you wait
I shall forever elude your grasp
For it is at my approaching that I disappear,
Once more into the distance
My Arrival brings many emotions
Some of fear and others of joy
Yet I shall never arrive,

What am I?

I think its a little vague :S, theres alot of random things I can think of a few random things that fit that description but they don't seem like they'd be the answer to a riddle.

Also another one to keep this thread alive

I cannot be seen
But my passing is apparent
I cannot die
Yet I can be killed
I cannot be comprehended
But I can be measured
I cannot be stopped
But I can run out
I am never ending
But I can be wasted

What am I?

Once there was a knight very brave and strong. He was the first in a war and the last standing. He always slayed any great dragon with ease. But one day, there was a rumor that sent the knight quaking in his boots. They say that when this creature is slayed, your own blood will be splat. What was this creature?

HINT 1: You may have bested this foe before.
HINT 2: It is 8 letters long.

Very correct. This one got my friend beat.

A mosquito would suck up your blood and you would have to kill it. By then, it would be splat all over. So I guess the knight was more creeped out that scared. Good job, Ivernus!

Hey Firefang, we already have a riddle thread, so I've merged yours with it.

Ivernus was going to revive the riddle thread anyway, so this should make him actually do it, instead of just talking about it >_>

@Firefang
:(, i feel silly for not getting that first one

Second one, its the 9 of the 10 statements are false, the reason is, if 9 statements are false, one must be true, and if we assume the statement that 9 of the 10 statements are false, is the true one, then it all fits into place.
The problem with saying all 10 are false is that makes the last one true, which it can't be since if it was true all of them would need to be false.

Third one, bit iffy...a shadow can be bigger than you or smaller so...I dunno, I guess it fits XD

Ivernus:
About the statement true/false riddle. I thought that too. I read it and at first thought ten, but then I realised that ten couldn't be true because it says that all of them are false, including itself. It can't be true AND false. It has to be 9 because it says that 9 are false, meaning all the statements but itself are false. So I was a bit confused/surprised when I opened the spoiler and read that it was TEN!

Well since we're on the topic of Logic puzzles, lets bring out an old classic

You come to a crossroad along a journey, upon one path is your goal, and the other an untimely end. Before you stand two guards, one red and one blue who remain silent as you approach. There also stands a sign which states that one of the guards will always lie, and one will always tell the truth, to which is which you do not know. The guards will not say a word except to answer one question directed at only one of them.
One question to one guard, and it is with this question you can figure out the path that is your goal.

What is the correct question?

i ask the red guard "Are you red?"
i tink hat be teh answer. i do not know XD

If tomorrow's day before yesterday was Saturday, what is yesterday's day after tomorrow? This isn't so much of a riddle as a logical problem.

screwbaII
12-11-2010, 10:15 PM
It's Sunday.

Saturday = tomorrow's day before yesterday, so Sunday would make Saturday yesterday, which would make Monday the day where Saturday is the day before yesterday. Since you know you are on Sunday because tomorrow is Monday to make Saturday the day before yesterday, yesterday would be Saturday, and thus the day after Saturday is Sunday.

If you start the 1st day on the Thursday, it's 10 weeks + 1 day, so Friday.

OR

If you start the 1st day on the Wednesday, it's 10 weeks + 1 day, so Thursday.

It wasn't really specified which day you started counting on XD

Simple riddles that are fun to go through. Only NO CHEATING on these. Rules, you gotta have rules, just go through and answer of the top of your head, AND THEN go back and check your answers, others wise you will definitely get them.


(In a Race) What place will you be in if you pass the 2nd place runner?

Second, duh! xD

(In a Race) What place will you be in if you pass the guy in last place?

That's impossible silly!! xD

Mary's father has five daughters: La, Le, Li, and Lo. Who is the fifth daughter?

Well, Mary of course!

(Get ready to add, as quickly as you can, NO CALCULATOR!!)

Yay, two right =D Firefang I still count that as a win for me =P I was right either way lol.

Draco: The guy's horse is called 'Friday' as he 'rode in on Friday'. Thus he could leave on Friday, either the day or on the horse named 'Friday' =P

Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers, How many pickled peppers did Peter Piper pick?
A Peck! lol....More of a tongue twister than a Riddle...

screwbaII
12-12-2010, 09:20 PM
Actually if you want to be technical about it, a peck is an old measurement:

A peck is an imperial and U.S. customary unit of dry volume,equivalent to 2 gallons or 8 dry quarts or 16 dry pints.

So the more correct answer is he picked approximately 9 litres worth of peppers, give or take by a few decimal places. =P

Yes I am just being a smart4$$
