Not too hard, but it's Friday and late. Don't want anyone overthinking, lol.

Yeah as frothies said, good idea for a thread... so long as there isn't too much googling going on.

Also:
2 Fathers and 2 sons went fishing, and each caught 1 fish each. But they only came home with 3 fish. Why?

Had to think for a second but pretty straight forward

Here we can post riddles and brain teasers to keep us occupied if we need some mental stimulation. One of my personal fav's is:

I am holier than God,
More Evil than the devil,
The poor have me,
The rich envy me,
Who Am I?

I am Higher than god
I am lower than Satan
But if you eat me you die.....


Answer?

I've got one..

2 identical doors; each guarded by identical looking guards.
1 door leads to heaven; 1 door leads to hell.
The guard in front of the door leading to heaven will always tell the truth.
The guard in front of the door leading to hell will always tell a lie.

Assuming you want to enter heaven, you have 1 question to ask either of the guards to find out which door to enter.

There is only one correct question to ask.

What is it?

K, let's hear the answers fellas.

[Spikey]

You can't eat 'nothing'. If that's the answer I'm gonna be very disappointed.

 

[Skeeta Olly]

Spikey, it's a riddle.




Of course you can.

Yanked from the book, no googling...

[FONT=Times,Times New Roman]What has roots as nobody sees,
Is taller than trees,
Up, up it goes,
And yet never grows?


[/FONT][FONT=Times,Times New Roman]Thirty white horses on a red hill,
First they champ,
Then they stamp,
Then they stand still.


[/FONT][FONT=Times,Times New Roman]Voiceless it cries,
Wingless flutters,
Toothless bites,
Mouthless mutters.


[/FONT][FONT=Times,Times New Roman]It cannot be seen, cannot be felt,
Cannot be heard, cannot be smelt.[/FONT] [FONT=Times,Times New Roman]It lies behind stars and under hills,
And empty holes it fills.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times,Times New Roman]It comes first and follows after,
Ends life, kills laughter.[/FONT]




[FONT=Times,Times New Roman]A box without hinges, key, or lid,
Yet golden treasure inside is hid.[/FONT]




[FONT=Times,Times New Roman]This thing all things devours
Birds, beasts, trees, flowers[/FONT]
[FONT=Times,Times New Roman]Gnaws iron, bites steel,
Grinds hard stones to meal,[/FONT]
[FONT=Times,Times New Roman]Slays king, ruins town,
And beats high mountain down![/FONT]

water

 

[Ben the Gooner]

A vagina

Hahaha.

Could you imagine parents reading that version of The Hobbit to their kids?

The last one is time.

 

[Godzke]

lol

Now, this depends on how you interpret the opening line...

This thing all things devours

Does that mean "this thing devours everything" (your interpretation) or "everything devours this thing" (my interpretation)?

On second reading, if it did mean "everything devours this thing" then it would be worded "This thing all things devour" (singular, not plural on "devour"). So I guess your right, otherwise water seemed a pretty good answer.

*bump*. I love riddles. Here's another personal favorite of mine:


Give me food, and I will live; give me water, and I will die. What am I?

 

[Skeeta Olly]

I believe it's an old, old, wooden ship, used during the civil war era. A fire.

 

[Burzum]

A garbage man.

 

[Skeeta Olly]

A Digimon.

How good were they?
