Riddles

[justin19954]

ok so what you have to do is solve the riddles posted or create your own i will begin.

What gets wet when drying?

What belongs to you but others use it more than you do?

What fastens two people yet touches only one?

This ones pretty hard.

I am the center of gravity, hold a capital situation in Vienna, and as I am foremost in every victory, am allowed by all to be invaluable. Though I am invisible, I am clearly seen in the midst of a river. I could name three who are in love with me and have three associates in vice. It is vain that you seek me for I have long been in heaven yet even now lie embalmed in the grave. What am I?

[jonfitzsimon]

What belongs to you but others use it more than you do?

[justin19954]

Simple ones:

-What is worth everything, but costs nothing, can be seen by others, but never touched, and can be shared by two people?

[justin19954]

Ok i got one from my friend.

[Jixzer]

[justin19954]

Thats the right answer^ Heres another one

A horse is tied to a 15 ft. rope and there is a bail of hay 25 ft. away from him. Yet the horse is able to eat from the bail of hay. How is this possible

[SoraRikuVGM]

The hay sticks out 10 feet (shut up, I suck at riddles)

[justin19954]

Sorry but thats not it.

[Bobalicious93]

it just says hes tied to a rope, it doesnt say the rope is tied to anything, so im assuming hes just eating the hay with a rope around him?

[Jixzer]

That was going to be my answer.

[justin19954]

Thats the right answer. Heres another one.

A murderer is condemned to death. He has to choose between three rooms. The first is full of raging fires, the second is full of assassins with loaded guns, and the third is full of lions that haven't eaten in 3 years. Which room is safest for him?

[Jixzer]

Well, if the lions haven't eaten in 3 years, they would be dead...so room 3.

Here's one:

Can you name three consecutive days without using the words Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday?

[DShiz1029]

Well, if the lions haven't eaten in 3 years, they would be dead...so room 3.

Here's one:

Yeah...Woodstock...lol


I am no man as I am all man, therefore, what am I?

Yesterday, today, and tomorrow.

Someone can post a riddle for me. I HAVEZ NOFIN

[justin19954]

Thats the right anwser about the rooms and for that riddle above me ill have to think for a while.

[DShiz1029]

Again...


I am no man as I am all man. What am I?

[jonfitzsimon]

Again...


I am no man as I am all man. What am I?

God?..............

[Vilius]

I think it's god too...

[DShiz1029]

Yup, its God. I took that from the movie Caligula.

[Vilius]

Cool, didn't think I would get it right (thought it was something random no one would ever think of :) ). Alright, here's one:<br/> I start with the letter e, and end with the letter e. I contain only one letter, but am not the letter e. What am I?
<br/>(My friend told me this one, and it took me a while to figure out)

[battle_axe_of_doom]

literally took me 1 nanosecond to figure it out

eye

[Vilius]

nope, it's not an eye. good try though (contains only one letter)

[jonfitzsimon]

1 nanosecond? You are teh jeanus!

[justin19954]

Its an envolope right?

[Jixzer]

damn, you beat me Justin...but I've heard that one...so my answer wouldn't have really counted. :)

Here is a toughie

A child is born in Boston, Massachusetts to parents who were both born in Boston, Massachusetts. The child is not a United States citizen. How is this possible?

[DShiz1029]

Cool, didn't think I would get it right (thought it was something random no one would ever think of :) ). Alright, here's one:<br/> I start with the letter e, and end with the letter e. I contain only one letter, but am not the letter e. What am I?
<br/>(My friend told me this one, and it took me a while to figure out)


the letter "E" ?

[FallenAce]

damn, you beat me Justin...but I've heard that one...so my answer wouldn't have really counted. :)

Here is a toughie

A child is born in Boston, Massachusetts to parents who were both born in Boston, Massachusetts. The child is not a United States citizen. How is this possible?
That's easy: they declined citizenship because they want to keep their citizenship in another country... although that's not really a riddle-style answer.

Also, DShiz, the answer was an envelope. It only CONTAINS one letter... Like there's a letter inside an envelope. However, there is no rule that says you can only put one letter in an envelope, so I'm going to have to say this riddle is of flawed logic.

[Vilius]

I suppose so. Never thought of it like that. (I've never tried to send two letters in one envelope)

[DShiz1029]

A large truck is crossing a bridge 1 mile long. The bridge can only hold 14000 lbs, which is the exact weight of the truck. The truck makes it half way across the bridge and stops. A bird lands on the truck. Does the bridge collapse?

[eaglegoalie93]

Three poeple decide to order pizza. They order a pizza that costs $30. When the pizza boy delivers the pizza each person pays $10. (3*10=30). When the pizza boy goes back he is told he charged the wrong ammount and must return $5. On the way back the pizza boy decides to take a tip since he didnt receive one so he takes $2 (5-2=3). The pizza boy returns the rest of the money, $3, to the roomates. So each person put in $10 and got $1 back. So each payed $9. Or did they...

I've heard this one before, but I forgot the answer

[FallenAce]

A large truck is crossing a bridge 1 mile long. The bridge can only hold 14000 lbs, which is the exact weight of the truck. The truck makes it half way across the bridge and stops. A bird lands on the truck. Does the bridge collapse?
No, because the advertised weight is less than the actual supportable weight of the bridge. Also, if he were at the center of the bridge, he'd likely be on a support.

I think I'm just ruining the riddles, because my answers don't contain a clever turn of phrase.

And I think the pizza one was told incorrectly.

[Jixzer]

That's easy: they declined citizenship because they want to keep their citizenship in another country... although that's not really a riddle-style answer.


Actually, that's wrong, and since everyone seems to have moved on..the correct answer is, they were all born before 1776.

[devo193]

Here's a few simple ones.


A plane crashes on the Canada/US border. Where do they bury the survivors?


At night, they come without being fetched, but by day, they are lost without being stolen. What are they?


A man is being held hostage. His captor says, "If you tell a lie, I will shoot you. If you tell the truth, I will slice your throat." What must the man say to save his life?


In a field there is a green house. Inside the green house is a white house. Inside the white house is a red house. Inside the red house are many little black houses. What am I?

[justin19954]

Heres a riddle

Jim has three piles of sand and Tim has four piles of sand. If they put them all together, how many do they have?

[justin19954]

You don't bury survivers

They are stars

[toefer]

One .

[justin19954]

Yeah thats right ^

[FallenAce]

A man is being held hostage. His captor says, "If you tell a lie, I will shoot you. If you tell the truth, I will slice your throat." What must the man say to save his life?

He needs to give the guy a really confusing riddle to distract him long enough to escape.

[devo193]

^Nope.


The other two are right though.

[FallenAce]

Quietly hand him his wallet? Who gets captured by The Riddler these days anyway?

[DShiz1029]

No, because the advertised weight is less than the actual supportable weight of the bridge. Also, if he were at the center of the bridge, he'd likely be on a support.

I think I'm just ruining the riddles, because my answers don't contain a clever turn of phrase.

And I think the pizza one was told incorrectly.

Ok no, it wont collapse, because the truck drove half a mile, thats a half a mile of gas used which equals less weight.

[justin19954]

A man is being held hostage. His captor says, "If you tell a lie, I will shoot you. If you tell the truth, I will slice your throat." What must the man say to save his life?


I think it goes something like "You will shoot me"

[drummer_and_proud]

A man offered a boy 1,000,000 dollars to sing a song that has everbody n the entire world's name in it. In the end he walked away with 1,000,000 dollars.

What did he sing?

This is kinda easy.:p
