Riddle Me This

[Anon22]

A riddle thread :)

basically I'll post a riddle, and the next person has to answer the riddle(correctly) and post another one(so don't answer and post the riddle in the same post because the answer may be wrong) :) try to make the riddle as well(your own riddle... you created it) I'm so anxious to post the riddle I recently created... but I feel like starting off easily:

Me before you
You after me
Me
Me
Me
this is what it's all about
what is it?

[el01ks]

roman numerals?

[Reichenbach]

Age before beauty??? (I'm sorry if that implies to you that you're old!)

[Anon22]

nope neither

[samercury]

The hokey-pokey.....

[Anon22]

lol, nope not that

[Nightshade]

a mirror
the riddle made me think of narcisas( you know who I mean even if I spelt it wrong the guy who was doomed to love himself) and so there is narcassist
ego??

[kelby_lake]

A man is found dead on an island. There is no food or water but he did not die of starvation or dehydration. He was young and healthy. How did he die?

[Lioness_Heart]

Do we need any more information about the island and what is there?

[Nightshade]

he drowned , he washed up ashore which is how he was found on the island


:D

[Amundsen]

He was drown in water? Ocean.

[Argus]

Alone.

[AimusSage]

Aliens accidentally mistook him for a wanted interstellar criminal and zapped his arse from outer space causing him to become quite dead. After they found he had nothing to do with the actual criminal except for the freakiness of the universe that made him identical to the criminal. They teleported him to the island to mask their mistake and not get arrested by the space police, who wouldn't have bothered anyway, if it weren't for the fact that the guy was originally a donuts seller.

[iluvdaughtry4]

Did the man die on the island?

[kelby_lake]

Okay, I'll answer your questions:
the man did not drown and he wasn't already dead when he was on the island. there are no other animals or plants on the island. he did not get dropped down by an aeroplane and die. he was young and healthy. So how did he die?

wait no, are you sure it wasnt the master criminal who did it himself when he was disguised as an alien so that the real aliens would think he was dead and he could then retire to a nice comfortable moon somewhere with his own cheesecake factory?

:p

[Pendragon]

suicide...

[Bakiryu]

he had a heart attack? sunstroke? sand poisoning?

[AimusSage]

no, you silly people, thing logically!!!! :D
The whole things was a mix-up, where the guy thought he was on island A. but turned out to be on Island B, which is filled with deadly dinosaurs like velociraptors. These little buggers just shredded the guy into pieces, and that is how he died.

[kelby_lake]

No suicide, uninhabited island.

It's very simple if you think outside the box.

[Equality72521]

But the box is a wonderful place to think....

He died from eating too many smores.

[Dori]

Alone.

Whether or not this is the answer you're looking for, it is right.

[Nightshade]

sun stroke
lonliness
intrente withdrawl?

[Nyu001]

Err, what is? if is not alone? o_0

[Bakiryu]

pneumonia
food poisoning (from fish)
heatstroke

um, lupus?

some inherent genealogical condition hitherto gone undiagnosed?

It doesn't say he died on the island. He could have been killed on a helicopter and pushed out, eventually washing up on the island.

[kelby_lake]

He died on the island.

[Niamh]

The island was infact a small vocano, which was smoking at the time, hence why it was uninhabited and the person died of carbon monoxide poisoning from the smoke ash and soot. he was rescued before being burnt to a crisp by molten lava.

[kelby_lake]

you are thinking outside the box but you are wrong. it's a perfectly simply rational answer.

[Nyu001]

Ok, My wife said he died of old age. What about that? ;)

I think my wife got it right!

Is it right? Died of old age?

Edit:

I got something wrong. But I will go with her answer!

I think the clue words are "Young and Healthy".

[kelby_lake]

No, sorry. Would you all like to know?

[barbara0207]

I haven't the faintest idea. So - out with the truth!:D

[Amundsen]

God killed him!!!

[Nyu001]

No, sorry. Would you all like to know?

Yes!!! :P

[Tournesol]

Is kelby_lake still on? Cause I really want the answer to this riddle!!!

[Nyu001]

I want to know, what is? I am very curious and I am sure is a simple answer. One that I have no idea!

[Lioness_Heart]

Is it a clue that there is no food or water? Because given that he did not die of starvation or dehydration, this seems irrelevant otherwise...

[Lioness_Heart]

Please answer, kelby_lake!!! This riddle is really bugging me!

[Nyu001]

I already know the answer to this riddle. I pm him asking. Lol.

[Lioness_Heart]

Ooooh what is it??????

[lauristhebest]

I thought loneliness.

[Nyu001]

It was a traffic island. He died in an accident. A car crashed on him... lol

[Lioness_Heart]

Seriously??

[jekan blazer]

simply tell a riddle...

[pussnboots]

here's a riddle:

Whoever makes it, tells it not. Whoever takes it, knows it not. And whoever knows it wants it not.

Let's see if anyone can guess the answer

[Zee.]

Okay, I'll answer your questions:
the man did not drown and he wasn't already dead when he was on the island. there are no other animals or plants on the island. he did not get dropped down by an aeroplane and die. he was young and healthy. So how did he die?


A coconut fell on his head.

[Sapphire]

@Pussnboots
Either simply "a lie" or a more materialistic lie in the form of "counterfeit money".

@Kelby_Lake
Is it really a traffic accident? For that seems as logical as any of the other "outside the box" answers :) I really hoped it was something more ... I don't know. :brickwall I guess riddles are always obvious when you know the answer.

Another riddle:
I am large as a castle, yet lighter than air. Hundred men and their horses cannot move me. What am I?

[BienvenuJDC]

A Shadow

I can build castles, tear down mountains...
I can blind men, and help men see...

[MarkBastable]

Another riddle:
I am large as a castle, yet lighter than air. Hundred men and their horses cannot move me. What am I?

Fog. Or clouds. That sort of thing.

[Sapphire]

@ BienvenuJDC
Indeed :D

And thinking in the same direction for your riddle: a bright light, or more particular the SUN (rays)

@MarkBastable
Not the answer I had in mind, but I guess that would be right too!

[BienvenuJDC]

@ BienvenuJDC
And thinking in the same direction for your riddle: a bright light, or more particular the SUN (rays)


No...I don't think so...works for the latter part, but it doesn't apply to the first part of the riddle

[Sapphire]

@BienvenuJDC
Hmm... I was thinking like building the shadows of castles and tearing down the mountains to small shadows - maybe I got stuck in a way of thought too much ;)

What about money then? You can use it to buy everything you need to build a castle, buy dynamite to blow up a mountain. It can definitely blind people, but it can also open people's eyes for possibilities...

I think it's probably something else, but MONEY is the only thing I can think of :)

[BienvenuJDC]

Literal castles literally being built (of)...literal mountain being torn down (by)
Literally blinding men (by)...literally helping men see (with)

[PabloQ]

Sand?

[crystalmoonshin]

Sand?

I've been thinking of this, too.

[jekan blazer]

what is broken the moment it is named?

[crystalmoonshin]

what is broken the moment it is named?

silence?

[jekan blazer]

silence?

correct!!!!!!!!

[BienvenuJDC]

Sand?

Sorry it took so long...I had forgotten...Yes that is right!!

[kingoflombards]

What is behind the Green Glass Door?

Wood is behind the Green Glass Door; log is not.
Trees are behind the Green Glass Door; branches are not

[NikolaiI]

About Kelby's... he didn't die of dehydration or starvation, but perhaps both?

[kingoflombards]

Another hint for mine.

Kittens are behind the Green Glass Door; Cats are not.
Puppies are behind the Green Glass Door; Dogs are not.

[jekan blazer]

A man is found dead on an island. There is no food or water but he did not die of starvation or dehydration. He was young and healthy. How did he die?

did he eat himself?

[FallingWings]

Another hint for mine.

Kittens are behind the Green Glass Door; Cats are not.
Puppies are behind the Green Glass Door; Dogs are not. Waterfalls are behind the Green Glass Door and water is not; Winners are behind the Green Glass door and losers are not; Weddings are behind the Green Glass Door, and funerals are not; I (FallingWings) am behind the Green Glass Door, but you (kingoflombards) are not. Have I proved to you that I know what is behind the Green Glass Door?

[kingoflombards]

Yes! Good job! You deserve a cookie-trophy!(That was a lot faster than I thought!)

[MarkBastable]

Spaghetti is but lasagne isn't, though noodles are generally. Mutton is, but lamb isn't and neither is pork unless it's chopped. Omelettes are (but not in America).

[Scheherazade]

Spelled with a letter doubled?

[kingoflombards]

Yep, double letters.

[jekan blazer]

what goes around the world but stays in the corner?

[kingoflombards]

A person in a square missile!

[jekan blazer]

no...

[crystalmoonshin]

what goes around the world but stays in the corner?

a postage stamp? (But does the world have corners???)

[jekan blazer]

yes! a postage stamp goes around the world, but stays in the corner of an envolope

[kingoflombards]

I liked my answer better, but I suppose that works too.....*grumble*

[jekan blazer]

it was clever galzraa

[jekan blazer]

Brad stared through the dirty soot-smeared window on the 22nd floor of the office tower. Overcome with depression he slid the window open and jumped through it. It was a sheer drop outside the building to the ground. Miraculously after he landed he was completely unhurt. Since there was nothing to cushion his fall or slow his descent, how could he have survived the fall?

[kingoflombards]

He was cleaning the windows from the OUTSIDE of the window. He jumped inside.


This trumps my square missile theory!

[jekan blazer]

did you cheat?

[kingoflombards]

I've heard it before.


I have a pocket knife with five tools. It has a screw driver attachment, a bottle opener, a saw, and scissor attachment.

What is the fifth tool?

[crystalmoonshin]

He was cleaning the windows from the OUTSIDE of the window. He jumped inside.


This trumps my square missile theory!

LOL! And I was about to say that a truck happened to pass by and he fell on that truck. (Just remembered a scene from Garfield the movie.)

Oh, and that square missile theory was ingenious! :D

[kingoflombards]

OK, my turn for a riddle!!


I have a pocket knife with five tools. It has a screw driver attachment, a bottle opener, a saw, and scissor attachment.

What is the fifth tool?

[Nikhar]

A pocket knife. :p

Anyone can ask a riddle instead of me.

[jekan blazer]

What can run but never walks, has a mouth but never talks, has a head but never weeps, has a bed but never sleeps?

[Scheherazade]

A river?

[jekan blazer]

aww did you honestly guess?
cause your right...

[crystalmoonshin]

A man is found dead on an island. There is no food or water but he did not die of starvation or dehydration. He was young and healthy. How did he die?

Victim of a shipwreck washed ashore...

[Nikhar]

What occurs once in a year, twice in every month, four times in every week and six times in each and every weekend?

[crystalmoonshin]

The letter "e" of course! :D

[Nikhar]

Suppose thatw as too easy and well known! :)

[kingoflombards]

Nothings going on so I'll just chuck a riddle out there.


What happens once in a minute, twice in a moment, and never in a thousand years?

[Nikhar]

The letter 'm'.

[kingoflombards]

You're good at this. Lets see if you can come up with a better riddle than that!

[jekan blazer]

Can you read the following? Yy u r yy u b I c u r yy 4 me.

[kingoflombards]

too wise you are, two wise you be, you be too wise for me!

I'm out of riddles!

[crystalmoonshin]

too wise you are, two wise you be, you be too wise for me!

I'm out of riddles!

More like "Too wise you are, too wise you be, I see you are too wise for me." :D

[jekan blazer]

goodie.... too easy!!!

[Nikhar]

Well, how did one deduce "too wise" from Yy?

[kingoflombards]

Two "y's", too wise. Just say it how it looks.

[Nikhar]

Oh...that was a good one! :)

[kingoflombards]

How about this....

"Round like an apple, deep like a cup, yet all the kings men can't pull it up."

What is it?

[Nikhar]

A well?

[jekan blazer]

here is a good one...
If a boy is spanked by his mother and his father, who hurts the most?

[Nikhar]

the thing by which the boy is spanked?

[jekan blazer]

no...

[Buh4Bee]

the little child?

[kingoflombards]

The person who spanked the child with his parents! :lol:

[Nikhar]

How about this....

"Round like an apple, deep like a cup, yet all the kings men can't pull it up."

What is it?

What's the answer of this?

[jekan blazer]

the little child?


yesssssssssss

[jekan blazer]

Round as an apple,

Yellow as gold

With more things in it

Than you're years old.

[kingoflombards]

The answer to mine was a well.

And to Jekan's is a pumpkin! Si o no:D?

[Nikhar]

Heya...I was correct!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (about the well)

Cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!:):D:idea:

[jekan blazer]

yes.... you are right kingy

[kingoflombards]

Kingy....that's new!:lol:

Try this....

Only one color, but not only one size, stuck at the bottom, yet easily flies, present in sun, but not in rain, doing no harm, and feeling no pain.

[kingoflombards]

Fine! The answer is a shadow! You win this round Orville Redenbacher!

Try this one on for size!

Black we are, and much admired,
Men seek for us if they're tired,
We tire the horse, but comfort the man,
Tell me this riddle if you can!

[Nikhar]

a cabby?

[kingoflombards]

That works, but it is not the answer.

[crystalmoonshin]

Fine! The answer is a shadow! You win this round Orville Redenbacher!

Try this one on for size!

Black we are, and much admired,
Men seek for us if they're tired,
We tire the horse, but comfort the man,
Tell me this riddle if you can!

Night?

[kingoflombards]

Nope! :D

[kingoflombards]

Okay, I'm going to try to resurrect this thread, but I forgot the answer to my riddle. Mind if I just post another one?

Here it is anyway!

Paul’s height is six feet, he’s an assistant at a butcher’s shop, and wears size 9 shoes. What does he weigh?

[iamnobody]

Meat!

[kingoflombards]

Great! Your turn!

[iamnobody]

Four, five, six, then one, then two.
I think someone can't count, don't you?
Far-off lands with far-off people.
A religion with no church or steeple.

All this is from the past, but then,
Seems futuristic to us men.
In '77 it was born.

What is this?
