Re: The Riddle Thread

weren't the rules supposed to be that if you got it right then you were supposed to put down the next one? oh well. anyways:

A man loans enough money to a person in order to buy lunch. A year later the person pays him back the same amount of money that was loaned to him and the man uses it to buy lunch. why is it that if lunch is still the relative amount of price per dollar that he cannot afford it?

i know it's easy that or it just doesn't make sense so it is not really a riddle at all.

Perhaps the man got paid back with a lot of change and the restaurant wouldn't accept that or credit cards.

Re: The Riddle Thread

ok that riddle above is worded weirdly, i can't even understand it lol

Here's a simpler one but I didn't figure it out when it was told to me:

Greater than god, more evil than the devil, is needed by the poor, and is not by the rich - If you eat it, you will die

What is it?

Re: The Riddle Thread

the answer to that one is nothing. What's so fragile that when you say it's name that you break it?

Re: The Riddle Thread

That's pretty simple; the answer is silence. Okay, try this one.

Two friends are talking. One asks the other a single question all day long. Each time the question is asked, a different answer is given; yet, the answer is correct every time. What is the question?

Re: The Riddle Thread

"What time is it?"

ps here's my riddle:

You're supplied with 9 ball bearings, one of which has a hollow center. It weighs less, but is exactly the same as the rest when you feel/look at/hold it.

You are also supplied with a balance. The kind where you put an object on each side and it shows if they are equal, not the kind that tells weight >_>

You can use the balance TWICE to determine which of the nine bearings is the lighter one.

Using it means you add any number to each side (the sides can vary but that'd be stupid) at the SAME TIME. You cannot add one at a time to each side, that would count as multiple uses.

- Sorry if that's worded horribly.

Re: The Riddle Thread

Measure three on one side and three on the other
1) If they're equal
Measure two of the others, If they're equal, the last one is it, otherwise whichever weighs less

2)If they aren't equal
Take the side that weighs less, measure two of them, if they're equal, the third one is it, otherwise whichever weighs less

spyke is hanging out on a heavily forested island that's really narrow: it's a narrow strip of land that's ten miles long. let's label one end of the strip A, and the other end B. a fire has started at A, and the fire is moving toward B at the rate of 1 mph. at the same time, there's a 2 mph wind blowing in the direction from A toward B. what can spyke do to save himself from burning to death?! assume that spyke can't swim and there are no boats, jetcopters, teleportation devices, etc.. (if he does nothing, spyke will be toast after at most 10 hours, since 10 miles / 1 mph = 10 hours)

Assume he knows basic survival skills, and that he doesn't want to die, i.e. the answer is not "Let him go drown to death so he won't burn to death"

That is correct, but it has already been answered sorry.

I have another one. What is the beginning of the end and the end of time and space?

Re: The Riddle Thread

The letter "e".

Please, everyone's heard these lame riddles. Come up with more thoughtful ones.

We need Reach for something like this to be succesful.

Re: The Riddle Thread

I was afraid of that too, it's probably more obvious when you write that riddle out lol.

Re: The Riddle Thread

Whoops. Thought DBP's post was just his riddle; didn't see the answer to the one I posted about.
