The Riddle Game

[Gregory]

... as inspired by entimp's thread.

Rules of the game:

One person posts a riddle.
--Everyone may take a guess.
--If they are stumped, the "riddler" may post the answer, and post another riddle or choose someone to post the new riddle.
--If someone guesses the answer, it will be his/her turn to post the riddle.
-- If people need help, give clues

Got it? great! I'll post the first riddle, starting off with an easy one:

What is the only thing you cant get rid of by losing it?

[Kitti]

my guess....

your temper.;)

[Gregory]

i knew it was too easy:P

your turn, post a riddle.

[Kitti]

A farmer and his hired help were carrying grain to the barn. The farmer carried one sack of grain and the hired help carried two sacks. Who carried the heavier load and why?

[Gregory]

it depends on how much grain was in each sack.

[DannyB]

The Farmer because he carried his sack alone. The help carried one sack at a time together.

[Kitti]

So close guys!!
Keep thinking...you're getting warm.:smug:

[Dr. Web]

the hired help carry two sacks, because there are two of them, at twice the weight of the farmer. Else, the hired help is a donkey/mule/horse/work animal that carries two sacs.

[Jokerman]

The farmer hired two guys, each carried a sack.

They all are holding the same weight.

[DannyB]

The farmer carried one sack of grain and the hired help carried two sacks.

.....as in two empty sacks??????

[Kitti]

Okay....nice job guys.
The farmer carried more weight. He carried a sack of grain and the help carried two sacks....empty sacks. Read the second line again.

DannyB. it's your turn....

[DannyB]

Another Farmer......a little more complicated.

Everyday the farmer carries things to market to sell or trade.

Today he has a live chicken, a live fox, and a sack of feed(grain).

The market is on the other side of the river but that's okay because he has a small rowboat that is just big enough to carry himself and only one of the other items at a time across the river.

in what order would the farmer take the items to get all three items to market safely?

hint: if he takes the fox first, the chicken will eat the feed while the farmer is gone. If he takes the feed first then the fox will eat the chicken.....so obviously he needs to take the chicken first because the fox will not eat grain.

.....now what?

[kevin]

using your clue:


chicken first (leave fox and feed)

take fox next return with chicken

leave chicken, take feed next, return with nothing

take chicken next


:rocker:

[kevin]

How can a man living in Florida legally marry 30 woman without ever getting a divorce or being widowed?



Hint: don't think about it too hard! :D

[Jokerman]

He's the priest.

But, someone else can say the next riddle if I'm right... I don't know any riddles. :D

[Kitti]

Don't you have to pick the replacement?

[Dr. Web]

how about we give him a short (few hours) duration to either pick a new poster, or to come up with a new riddle.

Close enough! I was thinking justice of the peace, but a priest will do. :D


kittick can post the next riddle if she would like to. :)

[Kitti]

Thank you Kevin...

Here goes.........

A boy was at a carnival and went to a booth where a man said to the boy, "If I write your exact weight on this piece of paper then you have to give me $50, but if I cannot, I will pay you $50."

The boy looked around and saw no scale so he agrees, thinking no matter what the carny writes he'll just say he weighs more or less.

In the end the boy ended up paying the man $50. How did the man win the bet?

[kevin]

hehehe.... because the carny wrote: "your exact weight" on the paper! Its a rigged game, the carny always wins! :P

[Kitti]

That would make this a corny carny joke, right?
Good job Kevin!

[kevin]

OK, this one is tricky but obvious at the same time, sort of like kittik's last riddle:

Sam said he can hang his hat, he can then walk 500 feet, and then shoot a hole through the hat with his gun, all while blindfolded. How can he possibly do it?




edit: I added the word "all" before "while blindfolded" to make it more obvious that Sam is blindfolded the entire time, not just when shooting the gun.

[Jokerman]

He walks around in a circle?

[kevin]

Originally posted by Jokerman

hehehe.... not a bad guess, but unless he was a homing pigeon, I think the blindfold would pretty much prevent such an exact feat of walking in a circle and returning to the exact position you were before. Sorry, but your answer is wrong, the answer is obvious, like kittiks last riddle, its staring you in the face...... :eek:

[Jokerman]

I figured he had a shotgun :D

How bout, he hangs the hat on his head and just shoots up?

[kevin]

Originally posted by Jokerman

LOL.... the gun is nothing special, could be a small pistol or a machine gun, the answer will still be the same.

And no, he does not hang the hat on his head...... :cool:

[leoo24]

erm, he hung the hat on the end of his gun, wlaked 500 feet and shot a hole in it?

[kevin]

Originally posted by leoo24

I'm not sure what "wlaked" is ;) but you got it, he hung his hat on his gun. Jokerman was so close to the answer!

:gunner: :pimp:


your turn leo! :banana: :banana:

[leoo24]

hehe, it's your faulkt for introducing me to these damned cadillac margaritas :D :P

ok, fairly easy one:

What lives in winter, dies in summer, and grows with it's roots upward?

[kevin]

that is so friggin easy.......


Kevin after the 6th cadillac margarita! (its not a pretty sight)

[leoo24]

:P
turn yourself up the right way and lend me some bar salt, i've only got the table variety left again :P:loopy:

[Gregory]

so what was the answer to leo's riddle, kevin:confused:

or was that the real answer?

i suppose its kevin's turn to post the riddle

[DannyB]

Originally posted by kevin

WWWWWAIT I think I know the answer to this one!

[DannyB]

What is the largest possible number you can write using only 2 digits - just 2 digits, nothing else?

[kevin]

well, since nobody wants to answer.....


the obvious answer would seem to be 99, but since there is no restrictions on how to use the two digits the answer must be 9e9 (9 to the 9th power) which would be a very large number indeed! :rocker:

[kevin]

OK....making one up on the spot....


I am always going around in circles, but I can take you in a straight line, what am I?

[Kitti]

A wheel.


These three things have just one thing in common. What is it?

Superman
The Cabbage Patch Kids
Moses

Thinking is not my best attribute! :P

[kevin]

here goes a feeble attempt.....


they are chronologically and alphabetically ordered the same!


1 - Moses
2 - Superman
3 - The Cabbage Patch Creeps


If thats not correct I'm going to mix up a large batch of margaritas and get this day off to a good start! :rocker:

[Kitti]

Nice rename on the Cabbage Patch. Never did like those things anyway.
Get mixin' I guess 'cuz you're not even warm.
by history I mean where they come from.
Regression?@rollover

[DannyB]

For those of you who don't know about cabbage patch kids
look here (http://www.1-toy-store.com/cabbage-patch-kids/)

Basically they are simple dolls made from stuffing panty hose.

[leoo24]

what wierd voodoo doll kinda things :loopy:


kev - love the new avatar!!

and seeing as you mixing a few up :D

[Kitti]

okay, my appologies. I took for granted that everyone knew who the cabbage patch kids were. A look into who and what they are....
You know how some parents tell kids that kids come froma cabbage patch? Well, these kids really are. After they are "born" they find homes with people that look like them (ie. hair color, skin color, country, etc.). They have almost as many accesories as Barbie and they are ugly. Small children adore them and they are everywhere.

Let's take a quick poll....should we wait for someone to find the answer or should I just tell you guys and pass the torch?

No cheating, after reading kittiks explanation about cabbage patch dolls the answer leaped into my fermented brain.

[kevin]

Remembering that real riddles contain the answer in the words, here is one submitted by my son:




What do you call it when you drop an axe on the hood of your car?

[DannyB]

[Kitti]

Bert, Karen, and Dave are drinking soda.
George, Helen, and Steve are drinking coffee.
Using logic, is Elizabeth drinking coffee or soda?
Explain your logic.

Alright...so I'll give you a clue.

People have a strange habit of hanging around people who are like them, right?
Maybe you should look for things these people have in common. Don't be afraid to find the things that "count".

I have to recuse myself... I already read this one in Parade magazine in that real smart ladies column, Marilyn Von somebody-or-other. ;)

i think Elizabeth dosent exist and she was made up by parents to warn little children about the dangers in consuming soda and coffee, therefore she is drinking neither

[kevin]

I guess this thread has run out of steam, nobody seems to want to answer the riddles (or the logic puzzles).


The answer is coffee. And the logic is simply because all the people drinking coffee have two e's in their name, as does Elizabeth. Not much logic in that but I know its the answer having read this riddle before in "Ask Marilyn".


But, I guess I'm burned out on the thread too, so if anyone else wishes to pickup the torch and continue the thread, be my guest! :rocker:

That's because you are the Jokerman not the riddlerman!

[DannyB]

I've got one for ya!

"Think of words ending in -GRY. Angry and hungry are two of them. There are only three words in the English language. What is the third word? The word is something that everyone uses every day. If you have listened carefully, I have already told you what it is."

[Willy Duitt]

OK, lets look at the riddle. Its a classic case of misdirection like the guess your exact weight riddle. Angry and hungry both end with Y, the GRY is just to fool you into thinking the word must end with all three letters but really has nothing to do with the answer.

here is the clue and the answer:


There are only three words in the English language.


There are only three words in: "the English language"

whats the third word? "language"

we use it everyday!
and the riddler already told us what it was!

the answer is "Language". :rocker:

[kevin]

I'll try and make one up, its probably not going to be too hard to figure out.....


you teach it to talk and then constantly tell it to shut up? You teach it to walk and then tell it to sit down. What is it?

[DannyB]

You spend the first 2 years teaching them to walk and talk and then spend the next 16 years telling them to sit down and shut up!

pretty scary stuff

i suppose ill post the riddle then


Stopping along the trail to rest, Judy saw that one-third of the rest of the group from the Girl Scouts was behind and three-fourths were ahead.
Not counting Judy, what was the total number in her group?

[DannyB]

It would be easier to figure the exact trajectory of the path to Mars

[Gregory]

oh, come on.... should horus kol venture in here, he' should figure it out in a breeze

[kemikalfire]

.333333 behind
.75 ahead
add Judy, you're getting into over 1.000. Or some weird looking people. :D

I'm going to say Judy is by herself....no indication that she's part of the Girl Scouts.

If I'm right, I delegate anyone else interested to tell my riddle. I'm much better at guessing than telling.

If not.....well.....then.....bugger off.

rob! (not kate!)

[Gregory]

erm... the answer is more than one and less than 100

[DannyB]

The answer is 9

[Jokerman]

4 people...

3 ahead
1 behind

[Gregory]

you're all wrong, the answer is 15

wrong! the answer is 9

greg - do you really want that question answered :P

[RobRoyRogers]

I'm still gonna stand behind the fact that it's a "riddle" and not an "algebra problem." It's full of holes and unverifiable information, including whether or not Judy is even a part of the group of Girl Scouts. As far as I'm concerened, it's just a variation of the old "As I was going to St. Ives..." riddle. So hmph. :mad: :P

I know my riddles aren't too good but here's another one I am making up on the spot.....


What do these words have in common:

out
tree
quite
wet
your
up
trout
pot


(the answer is not that they are all English words, the answer has to be less trivial than that)

edit: I guess this is not really a riddle but it shouldn't be too hard to figure out.

Kevin got it right.


For those who still don't get it, each row describes the previous row.
1 is followed by
11 = 1 one
21 = 2 ones
1211 = 1 two and 1 one
111221 = 1 one, 1 two, and 2 ones
312211 = 3 ones, 2 twos, and 1 one
13112221 = 1 three, 1 one, 2 twos and 2 ones
1113213211 = 1 one, 1 three, 2 ones, 3 twos, and 1 one

A sheik announced that a race would decide which of his two sons would inherit all his wealth. The sons were to ride their camels to a certain distant city. The son whose camel reached the city last would be given all the sheik's wealth.

The two sons set out on the journey. After severals days of aimless wandering, they met and agreed to seek the advice of a wiseman. After listening to the wiseman's advice, the two sons rode the camels as quickly as possible to the designated city.

What was it that the wiseman told the two sons? They did not agree to split the wealth, and their father's decree would be followed.

hmmm.... I've not heard this one before and a good answer escapes me. I see a clue in the riddle, at least I think I do: "The son whose camel"

its the camel that must reach the city and not necessarily the son, but I can't think of how that plays into a good answer.

I'm stumped. :confused:

[kevin]

OK I think I understand the riddle now. But its not a riddle really, its more like a brain teaser, where the answer makes logical (but not obvious) sense instead of a play on words or a funny solution.

The wisman must have told the sons to change camels, that way they could run to the city in a race (as said in the riddle) instead of trying to go really slowly and getting there last. The one that got there first would win because his camel would come in last.

Is that the right answer?


side note: I drew a little picture on a piece of paper to visualize the problem and that made me see the solution.

[Kitti]

Question 1)
How on God's green Earth did you figure that out?

Question 2)
How did you draw a picture of it?

Makes perfect sense though.

[ExtraDog]

The wise man told the two sons to exchange camels.

Kevin got it.

You can see my thought process in work. I found the first clue "the son whose camel" , the second best clue was that they then went as quickly as possible to the city, most likely meaning it no longer mattered who got there last, but not necessarily meaning it mattered who go there first. That was the tricky part.

The picture was crude:


boy A
camel A ---------|
|
|---- wise man ------- city
boy B |
camel B ---------|



applying the logic of its the camel that arrives last that mattered and not the boy made the solution jump out at me when looking at the picture. If camel "A" arrives first, but boy "B" is on camel "A", he wins the contest because his camel arrives last with boy "A" riding it. And the same is true in reverse and all other conditions of the riddle are met.

I will have to post a riddle later, I am just doing a drive-by right now. If anyone wants to go ahead and post one please do!

I already know the answer to this riddle, and its not a good answer or a good riddle (IMHO).

The answer is:

the 5th guy is in a coffin.

as in the other 4 guys are the pall bearers, but how you can run carrying a coffin, and with only 4 guys instead of 6, escapes me. See the clue is they were going to church, not much of a clue.

Okay, A man walks into a bar 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. After a tense moment the man says "Thank you," and leaves. Why did they behave this way?

hmmm.... I've not heard this one before that I can remember. Is this a riddle? I really see no clues in the riddle to figure it out. Is this like that 5 guys riddle?

Man enters bar
sits at bar
orders water (which is odd in a bar)
bartender looks at man (doesn't seem to talk to him)
quickly pulls out a shotgun (indicates he was afraid of something or suspected something, or?)
and points it at the man
a moment later the man says "Thank you" and leaves.


the only clue I can think of is the ordering the water which is out of place for a bar, but what does it mean or hint at?

drink water because you are thirsty
order water because you have no money?

so why quickly pull a shotgun?

I'm stumped! :confused:
