Yet another riddle set, courtesy of my "Finast" brand "Frosted Flakes". They're smart for your health and now they challenge your mind as well.

1. What is the biggest ant?
2. What asks no questions, but always demands an answer?
3. What gets wetter the more it dries?
4. What grows larger the more you take away?
5. What can you hold without touching it?
6. What bow can never be tied?
7. What kind of coat has no buttons, sleeves or pockets, and can't keep you warm?
8. What has 3 feet and is unable to walk?
9. What always enters a home through a keyhole?
10. What kind of cap can't you take off?
11. What is the beginning of eternity and the end of life.

The person to solve all 11 riddles gains the satisfaction of successfully solving a children's puzzle (but to be fair there were 11 pictures on the box that you were allowed to match up to help you solve the questions).

An electric train runs north at 80 miles per hour. The wind is blowing from the east at 20 miles per hour. Which direction will the smoke go?

What do you get when you cross an elephant with a rhinocerous?

If a blonde and a brunette (same exact weight) both jump off a 300' building at exactly the same time, who would hit the ground first?

If an airplane crashed on the border of Canada and the US, where would they bury the survivors?

1st one: ?

2nd one: Weight doesn't matter, but the Brunette; the blonde had to stop for directions.

3rd one: Why would you bury survivors?

1) He starts and ends 2 common English words. One painfull in love, One painfull in everyday matter. Do you know what 2 words I must be?

2) If you're in a race and overtake the dude in second place, what place are you in?

3) What kind of cheese is made backwards?

4) There is a common English word that is 5 letters long. Each time you remove a letter from it, it still remains an English word - from 5 letters right down to a single letter. What is the original word, and what are the words that it becomes after removing one letter at a time?

5) I saw a man in white, he looked quite a sight. He was not old, but he stood in the cold. And when he felt the sun he started to run. Who could he be? Please answer me.

well i don't know if we are supposed to answer these but grifter2 I belive that the brunette would hit the ground first because the blond is full of hot air.
and i'm pretty sure that they haven't started to bury survivors yet lol

who knows what walks on four legs in the morning, two legs in the afternoon, and three legs in the evening??

good guessing to you,:evilsnik: heheheheh

grifter2

02-26-2002, 07:35 PM

God:
1.) heartache and headache
2.) You'd be in second place.
3.) ?
4.) Is that supposed to be a 5-leter word or 9-letter word? Or is that part of the trick with the question?
5.) Frosty the Snowman?

Winged Hoarse:
Quietstorm got the blonde and brunette answer correct. Scroll up to see it.

A human being is the answer to your question. Crawls as a baby. Walks as a teen and young adult. And uses a cane later in life.

very very carefully I would assume ;)

winged hoarse

03-26-2002, 06:33 PM

L! yes very carefuly would be a good idea ;)

but the correct answer would be..... cut a hole in the ice, but peas around the hole and when the polor bear comes to take a pee kick him in the ice hole.

warning do not try this at home!!
