well done!!

didnt think it would go down that quick!

i like this one from Jodie... an oldie

What do the poorest of people have that the richest of people want, and if you eat it you die?

if you have already heard this one before, please dont spoil for others for at least a while

hum does it begin with N?

sure does

Nothing?

this was what I was thinkin 

ten body parts - three letters. GO!:

toe
ear
eye
lip
rib
arm
leg
hip
gum
jaw

yep.


Three of us and seven of us makes ten.
Four of us and four of us makes eight.
Five of us and three of us makes nine.
One of us and two of us makes six.
Nine of us and ten of us makes seven.
What are we?

the number of digits required to spell the numbers (that add up to the answer)

that was quite tricky
 

If you have a pencil, and you move it, is it still stationary?

nope. is that a serious question?

Well it works better verbally.

If you move it, it may not be stationary, but it's a pencil, so it's still stationery, but it's moving, so it can't be still stationery... 

Quite possilbly the oldest riddle maybe?

What goes on four legs in the morning, on two legs at noon, and on three legs in the evening?

A man. As a baby crawls around, in the middle of life you walk around, and late in life you have a pimp cane.

Yep. Apparently Oedipus was posed this question by the Sphinx, and correctly answering this caused the Sphinx to destroy itself. I'm not sure if this was before or after he started fucking his mum.

 

Quite a hard one this one:

I am sometimes strong and sometimes weak, but I am nobody's fool. For there is no language that I cannot speak, though I never went to school. What am I?

I have definitely heard this before! It seems so easy because of that fact yet I can't grasp it!

Will or Mouth?

Obvious answers there but it's pissing me off because I have heard it before!

Edit: Actually I'm quite sure it's Tongue now...

No, no and no.

Love?

Love sort of fits, but not really with the nobody's fool part. Not the answer I'm looking for anyway.

is it the echo? i used to love riddles. curses the hobbit for getting me interested in them haha. speaking of which;

'Voiceless it cries,
Wingless flutters,
Toothless bites,
Mouthless mutters.'

It certainly is an echo.

Yours would be the wind?

it surely is. : )

It cannot be seen, cannot be felt
cannot be heard, cannot be smelt
It lies behind stars and under hills,
and empty holes it fills
It comes first and follows after,
ends life, kills laughter

Darkness?

Silence?

Nice one.

Cool.


With thieves I consort,
With the vilest, in short,
I'm quite at ease in depravity;
Yet all divines use me,
And savants can't lose me,
For I am the centre of gravity.

Noddy?

Money?
Sin?
Air?

Man this thread is hopeless!

Man.... I think its me whos hopeless hahaha
--------------
I just googled it. Unless people have heard the riddle before there is no way people can get that!

Who the hell know the answer to that

shesh

Is it the letter V by any chance, or something more obscure?

It's the letter V. I'd heard it before so I thought I'd let people keep on guessing.
I worked it out myself the first time I heard it. Took me a while though.

A lot of riddles use that one letter in a word trick. It's definitely confusing but when you know a few of those common tricks and run them through on a particular riddle it becomes clear!


Obviously not! 

Kurko?

this is not "The Riddle Quiz Thread" 

I started it cos I love them and don't remember any

post away

Not really a riddle as such, but it is called Einstein's Riddle none the less. First person to get it without cheating gets cake*. Some proof of working it out would be nice.

- In a street there are five houses, painted five different colors.

- In each house lives a person of different nationality

- These five homeowners each drink a different kind of beverage, smoke different brand of cigar and keep a different pet.

Einstein's riddle is: Who owns the fish?

Necessary clues:

1. The British man lives in a red house.
2. The Swedish man keeps dogs as pets.
3. The Danish man drinks tea.
4. The Green house is next to, and on the left of the White house.
5. The owner of the Green house drinks coffee.
6. The person who smokes Pall Mall rears birds.
7. The owner of the Yellow house smokes Dunhill.
8. The man living in the center house drinks milk.
9. The Norwegian lives in the first house.
10. The man who smokes Blends lives next to the one who keeps cats.
11. The man who keeps horses lives next to the man who smokes Dunhill.
12. The man who smokes Blue Master drinks beer.
13. The German smokes Prince.
14. The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.
15. The Blends smoker lives next to the one who drinks water.


* Please note that there is no cake.

OOOoooOOooOoOooOOOOoooOOoooooOOOooooooo

I like!

I remember doing this stuff in primary school. Would be politically incorrect these days seeing as the ultimate taboo for kids, smoking, is mentioned.

The German owns the fish 

How can I prove working out? It's just a process of elimination!

Congratulations. You get cake. Not really.

The cake is a lie!

I worked out the answer on two pieces of paper at work, then we had a major blackout and the office was pitch black, but before I left I had to try to hide the evidence so when people get to work on Monday they won't see all these five little houses drawn on bits of paper 

More please. I love riddles!

edit: here is one..


 Four men were in a boat on the lake. The boat turns over, and all four men sink to the bottom of the lake, yet not a single man got wet! Why?

Is it because they stayed in the airbubble created by the upturned boat?
Is it because it was a salt lake?
Is it because they were wearing diving suits?

Submarine ?

Nup, it's pretty lame.

It helps if you know the name of the riddle.

"Single Man"

Oh. I guess they were all married then? Ba doom tish!

Yep haha I only just read the answer now....please don't blame me. hahaha I suppose it could be worse..

True that. It was decent!
