Riddle

[_Phantom_]

Dave and Brad, two popular politicians, met at a club to discuss the overthrow of their party leader. They each ordered a vodka on the rocks. Brad downed his and ordered another. He then drank his second in a gulp and decided to wait before he ordered a third. Meanwhile, Dave, who was sipping his drink, suddenly fell forward dead. Both men were setup for an assassination. Why did Dave die and Brad live?

Two sentries were on duty outside a barracks. One faced up the road to watch for anyoe approaching from the North. The other looked down the road to see if anyone approached from the South. Suddenly one of them said to the other, "Why are you smiling?"

A "Wise King" devised a contest to see who would receive the Princess hand in marriage.
The Princess was put in a 50x50 foot carpeted room. Each of her four suitors were put in one corner of the room with a small box to stand on. The first one to touch the Princess hand would be the winner and become the new King.
The rules of the test were that the contestants could not walk over the carpet, cross the plane of the carpet, or hang from anything; nor could they use anything but their body and wits (i.e. no magic or telepathy, nor any items such as ladders, block and tackles etc).
One suitor figured out a way and married the Princess and became the new King. How did he figure it out?

[Chocotaco]

He asked the Princess to touch his hand.

[_Phantom_]

[Roland]

this ones a little bit easy


During WWII, there was a bridge connecting Germany and Switzerland, and on the German side, there was a sentry tower with a guard in it. He would come out every three minutes to check on the bridge, and he had orders to turn back anyone who tried to get into Germany, and shoot anyone trying to escape without a pass. There was a woman who desperately needed to get into Switzerland, and she knew she didn't have time to get a pass. It would take her at least six minutes to cross the bridge, but she managed to do it. How?

[The Max]

is this a logical riddle or an "out of the box" riddle. if it is, then she could just have slit his throat when he was taking a shit or something, or jsut taken a boat across the river. anyway, here are two good ones:

What gets wetter as it dries?

this next ones long, so i will put it in a seperate post

[The Max]

PLEASE DONT ANSWER THIS IF YOU ALREADY HAVE HEARD IT, OR YOU JUST GOOGLED IT, BECAUSE THEN YOU ARE BEING A FUCKER AND RUINING IT FOR THE REST OF THE FOLKS HERE.

Sir, I bear a rhyme excelling
Those of sonnet, dirge or hymn,
Strange in sound and awkward spelling,
Undramatic, uncompelling,
Subdued in tone but never grim.

Hear who will my mulberry tale,
Shun the epic, prose or ode,
Words from gardens blown with braille,
Blind rememb'rance of the Grail,
The end of that uncovered road.

The road to rhyme is paved with bronze
And spondees are the way to Mons
(The second fiend was George, of Fons -
Rough gravel filled his face,
His place).
And scansion's towers o'erlook the fields of sense
And pounds rule over pence
Which pound the wheaten corn
Forlorn.

Sirs, I rear a bear bewildered
By the subtle ways of art.
Shall I name her Jane or Mildred
As the Keeper of the mill did
Ere he 'gan to start?

See, then, Meredith, the maid,
She of smock, of clog, sombrero,
See the joyous cavalcade,
Serpent silken, donkey braid,
Emperor, king and pharaoh.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The ship aflame
We pirates leapt
Upon.
Our soles alight
On virtues home
Charbon.
"O Meredith, my soul is running out,
The myth so dear to mortals is a lie
Which, told but once, atones the sauerkraut
Whose coming is as coinage to the eye
and to the pie."

Beside the line which wanders through the brook
There grows a herb of magic seldom told
And Azimuth has quoted from a book
A tale of woe whose path is paved with gold
and mandibled.

"O Meredith, my soul is running in,
The oil of subtle reason has improved
The working of the wilderness of Zin
Mysterious the ways where Bubbin moved,
and grooved."
Was not destroyed
Complete
Our souls deride
The shepherdess,
So sweet.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Variety may be the spice of life
And plenitude the seasoning of years
But who prefers a wombat to a wife
May live to see variety's careers
Down Asia's hills to crime's reward below:
Who fears the fife is foe.

And in the jail where bigamists await,
Twice loving, living twice within the span,
There is a beggar sitting by the gate
Destroying with his knife each passing van
Through vales of alms to any future goal:
The man will mate the mole.

And mating with a jailer or a judge
Is sin enough for him who longs to know

But who prefers a towing to a trudge
Will suffer much come rain or hail or snow
In delta floods or criminal monsoons:
The foe will fudge buffoons.

This foe who never varies - is he kin
To her who coincides, each part alike
To scrutiny? Whose probers, peering in
Her eyes, see devils; in the dyke
Past drainage's dry culverts, to disguise
The bike whose bin one buys.

ENVOI

Past drainage's dry culverts to disguise
The antelope, we walk in wild surmise.

the wetter and wetter the more it dries one is a towel

[DEFinition]

this ones a little bit easy

He would come out every three minutes to check on the bridge, and he had orders to turn back anyone who tried to get into Germany, and shoot anyone trying to escape without a pass. There was a woman who desperately needed to get into Switzerland, and she knew she didn't have time to get a pass. It would take her at least six minutes to cross the bridge, but she managed to do it. How?

ok i'm gonna say that she walks across the bridge for 1 min 30 secs then turns back nd walks towards germany again (towards where the guard wud b). then when she got there the guard turned her away so she could safely travel to switzerland.

In more understandable terms. She would walk towards Switzerland for 3 min, and just as the guard is about to come out, she turns around walking back to Germany, the guard would see her, ask for her pass, She wouldn't have one and be sent BACK to Switzerland, or in her case TO the country she wanted to go to.

Two sentries were on duty outside a barracks. One faced up the road to watch for anyoe approaching from the North. The other looked down the road to see if anyone approached from the South. Suddenly one of them said to the other, "Why are you smiling?"

How did he know that his companion was smiling?


The sentry facing South was standing to the North & the sentry to the North was facing South?
That's my guess anyway - they were facing each other. I'm new at this.

I think they where facing each other, but looking over each others shoulders or something along thoose lines.

[Bigheaded Chief]

[sNiPe_]

ok a couple just to continue the thread:
4 I never was, am always to be, no one ever saw me, nor ever will. And yet I am the confidence of all to live and breathe on the terrestrial ball. What am I?



tomorrow. i think thats right?

[inferno45]

The guards weren't back to back, they were facing eachother.

[CrazY AsianZ]

For the sentrie one i have to say that the man thats looking down from south is up the road and the man thats looking north is looking at the man thats looking down from the south, so basically there looking at each other.

I guess. :help:

[broken egg]

if the question is why WAS the guard smiling, i think its because the oter one shat his pants and didn't realise

This is a most unusual paragraph. How quickly can you find out what is so unusual about it? It looks so ordinary you'd think nothing was wrong with it - and in fact, nothing is wrong with it. It is unusual though. Why? Study it, think about it, and you may find out. Try to do it without coaching. If you work at it for a bit it will dawn on you. So jump to it and try your skill at figuring it out. Good luck - don't blow your cool!

Uhh, Im guessing there is nothing wrong with it at all

[drag-on]

^Easy you didn't indent it. Also FYI there are some grammar mistakes in your paragraph's. Very incredibly minor mistakes but none the less mistakes.

Such as this sentence:
If you work at it, for a bit, it will dawn on you

It would work if the first comma wasn't there, but it sounds like an interuptor sentence to me. Okay I'll answer the question:

You said it was an unusual paragraph, so therefore it is an unusual paragraph. It's your claim as a unusual paragraph at the beggining of the sentence that makes it an unusual paragraph.

You are stuck in a room with no windows or doors. a solid room. the only things in this room is a mirror and a table. how do you excape?

1. Piano
2. one thousand
3. fingernail
4. was this one tomarrow? cause i can't think of anything else

and the last one in this post was about the mirror and the table. it was something about looking in the mirror seeing what you saw and then using the saw to cut the table in half and putting the two halfs together to make a whole and climbing out the whole. I heard this one before a looooonnngggg time ago.

you take the mirror, you see what you see and you saw what you saw, you take the saw you cut the table in half. take the two halfs, put them togeather, make a whole, and exit out of the hole.

2. A man walks into a pub and sits down at the bar, and simply orders a water. The bartender looks at the man, and then, quickly pulls out a shotgun and points it at the man. The man says "Thank you," and leaves. Why did they behave this way?

[dudeinanigloo]

Here's a fresh one:

A man can make perfect counterfeit bills. They look exactly like real ones, they're made of exactly the same materials, made the same way, everything. So perfect, one could pretty much call them real bills. Anyway, one day, he successfully makes a perfect copy of another bill. However, he gets caught when he tries to use the copy. How is this possible?

[foxter]

he used both the original and copy at the same time - two of exactly the same note...slightly suspicious?

[foxter]

Some more highly original ones:

1. The more I dry, the wetter I get. What am I?

2. I'm full of holes, yet I'm full of water.

3. Feed me and I live, give me drink and I die.

[foxter]

^Easy you didn't indent it. Also FYI there are some grammar mistakes in your paragraph's. Very incredibly minor mistakes but none the less mistakes.

You do realise there's no apostrophe in paragraphs? Well not in that context at least. An incredibly minor mistake but nonetheless a mistake!

[Yo Couch]

You do realise there's no apostrophe in paragraphs? Well not in that context at least. An incredibly minor mistake but nonetheless a mistake!

you spelled REALIZE wrong...if you're going to try to make fun of someone, then do it right.

[ehren]

dude. realise is a correct spelling.

look it up. british spellings are often different from american spellings, but they're still appropriate. colours, practise, connexion, realise, etc.

Wow, I didn't think people were still trying to guess mine...

Well, you're all very close, but those aren't the right answers. Keep in mind that he can replicate any denomination of cash perfectly.

[RickJamesGhost]

he made the counterfeit bill WHILE paying for something. He replicated the money on the spot and tried to use it.

[Osama Bin Laden]

lol ur dumb.

i think he used the same bill, the coutnerfeit and the actuall bill at the same time, and he messed up

[Ebers]

did he use the wrong currency? or had he made perfect counterfeit Monopoly money?

Okay, since you're new, I'll assume you didn't know this: When you post in any thread, it immediately goes to the top of the page, this is called 'bumping' a thread. So when you bumped this month old thread, now it comes back to the top, and all of us members here have already seen this thread. This pisses us off. You might want to read the sticky for new members, it will prevent a lot of mistakes.

[MrSlippyFist]

i guess ill make a stab at the 7month+ old riddle...he copied the same bill many times perfectly, leading to many copies of the same serial number, then tried to pay for something very expensive with all of the same bills, which any non-stupid person could see that they all had the same serial #

[brdispatch05]

This is one my dad told me, so i'll try to tell it right...
Two men were on a boat crossing the ocean, when there ship was struck and sank. Before they got on the life boat, one man was able to grab a rope, a box of cigarettes, and some matches. As they were floating away, the other man wanted a smoke, so the other guy handed it to him, but it was knocked into the water and sank to the bottom of the ocean. Desperate for a smoke with no matches anymore, he somehow managed to make his raft a cigarette lighter, how did he do this?
(Sounds really easy to me since I know the answer)

[unknown-soldier]

A bookkeeper once noticed that there are several words in the English language that have consecutive double letters. He wondered if there was a word in the English language that had three consecutive double letters. Can you think of one?

So, just to check I read this right, the man is offered the matches, but they are cast overboard.

So, he's on the boat with a box of fags and some rope.

He throws a fag overboard, making the boat 1 fag lighter.

[Osama Bin Laden]

Do you really call them fags or are you just trying to be funny?

[TheBeast]

Your sig is trying to tell you something, junior.

Tip: Ask anyone who knows the British idiolect.

[Osama Bin Laden]

I know its british or some fancy european country over there that says it.

I meant are you from there or are you just trying to be funny and say fag?

[Ebers]

I know its british or some fancy european country over there that says it.

I meant are you from there or are you just trying to be funny and say fag?

Yes, he thought it would be hilarious to slip in the word 'fag'...i mean, everyone finds the idea of throwing homosexuals overboard hilarious, right? (!)

Seriously, now...are you an incredibly stupid little boy, or are you just trying to be funny?

Anyway, Beast is right...I remember seeing a simplified version of this riddle:

There are three men in a boat with four cigarettes but no matches. How do they manage to smoke?

Answer: They throw one cigarette overboard and made the boat a cigarette lighter.

[unknown-soldier]

anyone know what the longest word in the english language is?

[Ebers]

as far as i know, the longest word in any major english dictionary is pneumono*ultra*micro*scopic*silico*volcano*coniosi s (45 letters).

I suppose you could claim that DNA molecules, if written out, would be the longest words, cuz they could run into the thousands

and for the record...the forum added all the asterixes and the space at the end, between the 'i' and the 's'

[TheBeast]

Hooray, I been sigged!

Anyway, is the longest word in the english language 'language'?

[Shay]

Hooray, I been sigged!

Anyway, is the longest word in the english language 'language'?

Heh, clever.

Anyway, what has no arms, no legs, runs up walls, and eats scouse?

[brdispatch05]

So, just to check I read this right, the man is offered the matches, but they are cast overboard.

So, he's on the boat with a box of fags and some rope.

That doesnt sound right...

Anyone know the answer to one of the first ones about the guy with the business into wordplay??

[Mattjam]

I made this one up myself, so if you think it sucks, then fuh-q.

Tom and Jack are in high school. They both have math class 4th period every day, but none of them ever knew it, and they never saw each other come 4th period.

It's a regularly sized classroom with a normal amount of kids, and no, Tom and Jack are not blind or dead.

[glytch]

They're both in high school, just not the same one?

My answer was actually that they were in different grades, but yours works equally as well. Good job.

There are 5 women sitting together in a room, all around the same age. They've all recently come to understand that a man none of them have met before has been murdered. None of the 5 women in the room know who the murderer is.

About 30 minutes go by, and suddenly a phone in the next room starts ringing. All 5 women know the phone call is probably important, but no one answers it.

Approximately 15 more minutes go by, and suddenly one woman in the room knows who the murderer is. She announces her discovery, and all of the other 4 women know with 100% confidence that she is correct.

Afterwards, all 5 women take off. None of them report the murderer and the murderer is never arrested or charged.

Are you a judge on a murder trial? Your one word was 'guilty'?

[detinith]

i say the answer to the counterfeit bill riddle is he told the cashier how perfect a counterfeit the bill he was using is.

The boy takes the pencil and makes two marks.
The girl takes the pencil and makes one mark.
The boy takes the pencil and makes two marks.
The girl takes the pencil and makes one mark.

They continue this pattern until the girl eventually makes two marks. The boy then becomes very upset. Why?

New ones:

1. In a state where all persons in a motor vehicle are required by law to wear a seatbelt or face a strict fine, there is one man in a motor vehicle who is not wearing one. The vehicle is travelling down one of the busiest parts of the city. The vehicle passes by at least two police cars who both know he is not wearing a seat belt. Neither police officer stop the vehicle. In fact, one of the police cars begins to follow the vehicle. When the vehicle stops, the man is removed from it, but nothing is mentioned about him not wearing a seat belt. Why not?

Was he running away from the cops because of a more serious crime (bank robbery, murder, etc...)?

It was a dead guy being escorted in a hearse.

Tic Tac Toe perhaps?Or X's and O's,whatever u call it!?!?
He was the X's (two strokes),she was the O's (one continuous mark) and she beat him
The initial 6 marks were him drawing up the board thingy ! !

[rsnyper]

it only takes 4 lines to make a tic tac toe board

FUCK ! !
Im all outta ideas then
I guess i never read or thought about it properly,I just read the "2 marks,1mark,2 marks,1 mark,he's upset" bit and automatically thought of X's and O's


My Bad

[glytch]

it only takes 4 lines to make a tic tac toe board

And to make his first X makes 6.

[rsnyper]

which makes 3 x's OHHH i get it now

[dudeinanigloo]

Sorry for the bump, but I wanted to take a shot at this one seeing as no one got I think.

He makes a perfect copy of an already counterfeit bill?
That's correct!

Holy shit you guys, I didn't think it was that hard. :rolleyes:

[glytch]

Woot.

A farmer with 17 camels dies. In his will, he specifies that the camels be divided among his three sons as follows:

-- The oldest son is to receive one-half of the camels.
-- The middle son is to receive one-third of the camels.
-- The youngest son is to receive one-ninth of the camels.

It also states in the will that ALL camels must be divided as directed without cutting any of them. How is this possible?

[Anita Bidet]

1/2+1/3+1/9=17/18, so just pretend there are 18 camels.

Eldest gets 9
Middle gets 6
Youngest gets 2

9+6+2=17

[glytch]

Yep.

A woman has a 12 by 12 living room that she wants to get a carpet for. She drives to her nearest carpet store and picks out the style she wants. The associate then informs her that the carpet only comes in one size: 16 by 9, so she buys it anyway.

She calls up her neighbor and explains her problem, and the neighbor tells her she can get the carpet to fit her 12 by 12 living room by cutting through the carpet only once.

How is it done?

[xyzman123]

She cuts 4ft from the 16ft and pastes it to the 9ft?

[rsnyper]

She cuts 4ft from the 16ft and pastes it to the 9ft?

that is 13 feet

[Allergic]

Easier to draw than explain.

Yep.

Horses Alice, Bob, and Calvin are entered in a three-horse race and ties are not possible.

The odds against Alice winning are 3-to-1.
The odds against Bob winning are 2-to-3.

What are the odds against Calvin winning?

[Allergic]

Assuming it's not a trick question, is it 6 to 1?

[glytch]

No tricks, and no, that's not correct.

Here's a hint:
If the odds against a horse winning are p-to-q, then the horse's chances of winning are q/(p+q).

[glytch]

And here are some new ones:

Your friend has a huge collection of rock and jazz CDs. He places a bunch of rock CDs in one box. In another box he places a bunch of jazz CDs. In the last box he places a mixture of both rock and jazz CDs.
Your friend then prints out three labels for the boxes: "rock", "jazz", and "rock and jazz". However, your friend is a little slow and accidently places the wrong labels on all the boxes.
You have one chance to help your friend. You are allowed to reach into one box only, pull out only one CD, and listen to it. Can you successfully determine the correct placement of all three labels?

Next, to reward you for your help, your friend has two jars. One jar is full of dimes. The other jar is full of nickels. He offers you two choices: you can reach in and take 1 handful from the dimes jar or you can reach in and take 2 handfuls from the nickels jar. What do you choose?

Finally, by now, your friend is able to accurately predict the choices you are going to make, so he makes a game. Here's how the game works:
Your friend has 2,000 dollars cash and two boxes, one labelled "A", and one labelled "B". You watch him place 1,000 dollars into each box. He tells you that you will be given one of three choices:
1. Take what's in box A.
2. Take what's in box B.
3. Take what's in both boxes.
But before you can choose, he asks you to leave the room. While you're out of the room, your friend predicts what choice you are going to make. If he predicts that you will select both boxes, he empties them both, otherwise he leaves them be.
Afterwards, he lets you back into the room and gives you the three choices as listed above. What do you choose and why?

[Anita Bidet]

Pick a CD out of the "Rock and Jazz." Since ALL boxes are labelled wrong, it has to be only rock OR jazz.

If it's rock:
R&J=R
R=J
J=R&J

If it's jazz:
R&J=J
R=R&J
J=R

I'd take one handful of dimes for being such a genius. Dimes are smaller than nickels, so I could get more in a handful.

The last one, I think I'm missing something. I'll come back to it later and see if it makes more sense when I'm not distracted.

[TheBeast]

The third one is a classic example used in arguments against free will. Typically, though, only 1 extra dollar is placed in B.

Anyway an evident answer would be to say take box A or box B based on the supposition that I know he will empty both boxes if I choose A and B. However, I don't know what will happen (presumably), so I might choose both. I predict that in such an example, a lot of people would take both boxes.

On the other hand, suspicions should be roused. Why do we have a choice of A and B, along with A or B? Surely, if it were that easy, he would just give me the 2000 dollars? Suspecting a catch, I would then take either box A or box B.

If this is the riddle I think it is, there's an error somewhere. The first two choices can be reduced to one, viz.

A. Box A or Box B
B. Box A and Box B

BUT, since I'm out of the room he might empty one box into the other. What he actually does is irrelevant, since I don't know what he will do.

But now for my answer. If he predicts I will choose both boxes, then I get nothing regardless of which box I pick. On the other hand, if he does not make such a prediction, then I stand to gain double money. Hence I can either win 2000 or nothing or I can win 1000 or nothing.

Nothing is nothing, doesn't matter how many boxes I pick. On the other hand, 2000 is twice as much as 1000, so if I lose, I lose. If I win and only pick one box, I lose what's in the other box. If I win and pick both boxes, then I win.

I would, thus, pick both boxes.

[glytch]

So far so good. The horse race isn't really a riddle, it's just straight computation.

Odds against Alice are 3-to-1, so Alice's chance of winning is 1/4.
Odds against Bob are 2-to-3, so Bob's chance of winning is 3/5.

Since ties are not possible and it's a three-horse race, Calvin's chance of winning is 1 - 1/4 - 3/5 = 3/20.
3/20 = q/(p+q) implies p = 17k and q = 3k where k is an integer, so odds against him are 17k-to-3k or 17-to-3.

Here are other ones similar in concept:
A square floor is tiled with congruent square tiles. The tiles on the two diagonals of the floor are black. The rest of the tiles are white. If there are 101 black tiles, what is the total number of tiles?

A hallway has 2000 lockers. Intially, all the lockers are closed. 2000 students, one at a time, walk down the hallway. The first student stops at every locker. If it's open, he closes it. If it's closed, he opens it. The next student stops at every other locker and does the same thing, opens it if it's closed, closes it if it's open. The next student does the same thing for every third locker. The next student does the same thing for every fourth locker, etc. The last student stops at every 2000th locker, so he stops at the very last locker and does the same thing.
After all the students have walked down the hallway, how many lockers are open?

hello i was courious about your puzzle and i am sure you made a mistake because the right answer would be that the GERMAN owns the fish

[kiketennis]

[kiketennis]

Britain.

This is a really bad guess.

hi, thats a good riddle but you made a mistake, cause the right answer is the GERMAN owns the fish

[Allergic]

Germans aren't permitted to keep fish as pets, it's in the Maastricht Treaty. They can only be used in agriculture, where they are the optimum choice for bearing medium to heavy loads.
