What goes up a pipe down, but not down a pipe up?

the itsy bitsy spider?

nop that's not the correct answer XP this is what i like about riddles and still analyzing yours

It's an umbrella.

your close to the answer

ASDF, RAIN?!

That's all I could think of considering umbrella, because water keeps you living but you could also drown.

I'm also confused by pipe down and pipe up, is that the direction the pipe is going? o_0

a fruit of some sort?
If people are what they eat then are canibels the only real people?

>>12 I got it! Teeth!

>>13 Well for one thing, they could lock up the store for lock-downs or lock-ins, sometimes power outages; If you buy a fridge and don't use the freezer, would you spend more money to buy a fridge without a freezer? Apply the same logic to doors and locks; And they close on Christmas day, so they need to lock up the store then. Seems more like a literal question than a riddle lol

A prisoner is told "If you tell a lie we will hang you; if you tell the truth we will shoot you." What can he say to save himself?

Water

A man walks into a bar and asks for a glass of water, the Barman takes out his shotgun and fired a shot just missing the man's head. The man said "thankyou" put a tip on the table and left.
Why the tip?
Why did he say "thank you?"
Idk about the tip
'thank you' for not killing me

I can rum swiftly and silently when you want me to stay still.
I can move slowly and cautiously and I am yours to fill.
You look at me often and yet you always forget me.
I am the most feared killer and yet you can't live with out me.
Sometimes you have me for all to spare.
And yet when you need me I am not there.
You can waste me, or cherish me, you choose the track.

Dude, I'm into riddles. I'm very good at them. It can be cracked, it can be made, it can be told, it can be played. What is it? Answer: Joke!
Just keep saying "Riddle Me This". How 'bout... Demonic Riddles?

>>46 For you, Azazel, the answer is always god.

If spiral equals star, and star equals 12^15, and 12^15 equals star pentagram, and star pentagram equals skull with snake, and X equals fire unicorn getting nuked, what does spiral equal?

>>50 star

What weighs a ton forwards and not backwards?

>>51 No.

It equals:

1,540,702,156,574,586,368

One pentillion, five hundred forty quentillion, seven hundred and two trillion, one hundred fifty-six million, five hundred eighty-six thousand, three hundred sixty-eight.

>>53 there is no way you did all that complex math

>>54 My calculator went up to 12^14, but I had to do the final part myself.

I am hopes and wishes and wants.
I am fears and tears and taunts.

I live as a portal
To subconscious minds.
Oh, the wonders will be your finds.

I may visit in the form of Queen Mab
As told in a story so fab
By Shakespeare himself.

What am I?

I some thing you cannot escape.
The more you see of me

>>58 I guess darkness?

>>12 From the Hobbit, really?

>>29 Time (again).

>>33 Faucet.

>>Ton? (spells n-o-t backwards)

Here's a simple one:

What has a bottom at its top?

>>60 A baby on it's head. Gotta do better than that to get me.

Lol no. The answer is much simpler.

Legs since butt is like bottom and butt is on top of the legs.

What starts with T ends with T and full of T?

>>65 A teapot!

>>1 I was thinking of DNA...

>>64 Yes.

i haven't read all the posts so im not sure if this has been posted....here we go...

"What goes in dry,comes out wet and gives warmth?"

>>69 I can't help it. It's



















A penis.

>>70 ....ewww you're so dirty~ it's a tea bag. XD

>>71 ..Iced Tea

YOUR ANSWER IS INVALID

Since when do tea bags give warmth

>>69 White clothes?

>>69 A towel?

Or Crisis's answer. That works too.

>>72>>73 lols, idk my friend told me that one XD

I'm sure this is easy
"I have a head like a cat
I have a body like a cat
I move like a cat
I sound like a cat
But am not a cat"
What am i?

>>77 A Pussy.

>>77 Kitten

>>77 Tsuki

>>78 Lol but wrong
>>79 Correct
>>81 Wrong
It's kitten

>>82 But a kitten IS a cat. Invalid.

It's obviously a robo-cat.

>>84 That would technically work

How is a Raven like a writing desk?

>>86 They both stand on sticks. :P

>>86 that is not a riddle it's a quote from Lewis Carrol's Alice in Wonderland. There is no answer.

A teacher write this equation,but he see that the answer is always the same number.What is this number and why its always this number? (the ... is for all the letter of alphabet.So it continue with (d-x)(e-x)...)
(a-x)(b-x)(c-x)...(y-x)(z-x)=?

>>89 0

>>90 Bingo.

>>88 it is indeed a riddle whether it was in a story book or not it is still a riddle none the less.

>>87 while indeed correct, it is not the answer i was given which is "They are both Nevar backwards" have to say that yours does make more sense.

bump

What creature goes on four feet in the morning, at noon on two, and in the evening on three?

>>86 Because it can produce a few notes, tho they are very flat; and it is nevar put with the wrong end in front.

>>48 A coffin!

>>94 a human? the morning symbolizes being a baby and crawling. Noon symbolizes midway through life so you walk on 2 legs. evening symbolizes being old and needing a cane to walk.

>>94 Love that Sphinx's riddle.

This is a pretty common one,
What does a dead man eat, a rich man need and a poor man have?

>>97 Brain

>>98 Nope

>>97 Nothing. I think I saw this riddle in Deltora's Quest a while back... that's why I can remember the answer, lol.

I don't know any riddles, though .-.

>>97 Right! and soul?

>>97

Absolutely nothing at all

>>97
a soul

What can you catch but not throw?

>>103
A cold?

>>104
right :3

>>104
right :3

>>104
right :3

There is an idiot between the Y and the I on your keyboard can you see it?

>>108 yes u

which is correct: The yolk of an egg IS white, or the yolk of an egg ARE white?

>>110 Both, because it can be used as a singular or a plural. That isn't a riddle, it's just common sense..

Actually now that I think of it "The yolk of an egg are white" is incorrect. It would be "The yolk of eggs are white" because it is being used in the plural sense.

>>111 Nope ^_^

>>88 WAIT Anubis, there is an answer to that!

It's a play on words. The answer is, "Egdar Allen Poe writes on both" because he writes on a writing desk and he writes about ravens. I was confused by that riddle for so long but then I saw the answer on the internet and my life was complete.

>>110 I just realised how fucking stupid I am. Neither is correct, the yolk is yellow. Nice one by the way.



Okay, a father and his son are in a car crash, the son is grievously injured and is rushed straight to hospital but when they arrive the doctor says "I can't operate on this boy, he's my son". How does that work?

>113 The Doctor is his mother :P

Okay, here goes
"I am the beginning of the end, and the end of time and space. I am essential to creation, and I surround every place. What am I?"

>>114 Light?

>>114 THe letter E.
Here's one. What, like a garden, never stays the same?

>>114 The letter E of course.

okay, another one. What is the longest word in the dictionary?

>>117 Well, I'm guess it's "Smiles," because there's a mile between the two S's :P

>>117 Well, I'm guess it's "Smiles," because there's a mile between the two S's :P

Dammit, running out of them.

Okay, this is the last one that comes to mind. Take away my first letter and I still sound the same. Take away my last letter I still sound the same. Even take away my letter in the middle I will still sound the same. I am a five letter word. What am I?

This one is the hardest one I know in terms of thinking inside the box.

>>124 How would Queue work?

Not sure about that riddle but the answer wouldn't just be 'bricks', would it?

>>124 Glass

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooh, greenhouse. That makes sense.

I knew that one because my science teacher used it. But I suck at riddles soo

>>125 yeah, I posted without really thinking about it, silly me D:

So yeah, I really have no clue about yours, Solace xD

It confused me for ages, I ended up googling it (Don't though)

It's one of those rare ones where it's actually really inside the box. You just need to think logically about words with two sounds. (Clue clue clue)

>>130 The?

D: Come on, intellectual people, where are you when we need you most??

>131 He said it's five letters long :P

>>133 Oh, right. Dammit

>>133 Just a quick note, you have to do two >'s to make it a reference. You can also duplicate that effect simply by clicking on the number to the left of Name:.

Not getting this doesn't make you dumb, it's a super hard one that I doubt many people would be able to get unless they were crazily logical/happened to be thinking of the word at the time

>>135 What about "their"? That's the only word I can think of with 5 letters that might be it lol...

Oh man I'd love to be the one to get it without English even being my first language, but I probably won't.

>>135 Yep I know that, I just didn't notice that I only did one ">" sign that time :3

and nope, still can't get it... Ham! it's all up to you now, I can't get this one D:

uh, eight?

>>139 Nooooope

>>137 What is your first language

******************Hint for anybody who wants it***********
It's certainly not full.

Why do I post things in a hurry, ight is obviously not the same as eigh.

Anyway, I'm off to bed. Try to guess it without google whilst I'm asleep.

Aisle?

Empty?

>>140 Romanian.

I think I give up, long words that make up only a few sounds have always been weird to me. >>143 looks good though.

>>144 Thou art correct.

>>146 FCK YEAH.

How does mpty sound like empt?

>>148 Idfk lol

>>148 Probaby if you say it m-pty and emp-t they sound sorta similar...? idk this stuff's confusing T_T

>>145 Do you live in Romania? ;o

well, since there's none here, may as well :D
"man gave one son 10 cents and another son was given 15 cents. What time is it?"
This one took me a really long time to solve when I first heard it... I just hope someone doesn't get it instantly and make me look retarded >.>

>>148 Mpty: You say the M as em, like you do during the alphabet. Mpt: Same with T. MT: Obvious.

If a cup has 1/2 of it filled with water, how full is the cup?

>>152 Half full...? this seems too easy so I guess I'm wrong...

>>152 100% full. The other half is full of air.

>>154 Yus.

>>151 Yes, but that's not how you usually pronounce words. You don't pronounce the 't' at the end of that word as 'tee'. Like I was saying I'm not a native speaker, but if 'empt' were suddenly a word it would most probably be pronounced like in preempt wouldn't it?

The man who invented it doesn't want it. The man who bought it doesn't need it. The man who needs it doesn't know it.
It's...???

>>156 It would have a 'ta' sound rather than a 'tee' sound unless you had an accent.

>>157 a coffin :P

>>148 Probaby if you say it m-pty and emp-t they sound sorta similar...? idk this stuff's confusing T_T

>>145 Do you live in Romania? ;o

well, since there's none here, may as well :D
"man gave one son 10 cents and another son was given 15 cents. What time is it?"
This one took me a really long time to solve when I first heard it... I just hope someone doesn't get it instantly and make me look retarded >.>

D: answer my riddle peoples!

>>156 The stress is on the second syllable, causing the T to be "tee" at all times.

>>157 My cousin told me this one a few days ago, it's a coffin.

>>159 10:15.

>>160 Doesn't a syllable have to contain a vowel? Since empt has only one vowel isn't it one syllable?

>>162 Nope :P

>>163 If we're goin by that logic, then "empty" would be one syllable.

Here's one!!

White, black, white, black, white, black, white, white, black, white, black, white.
Guess what this is?
Hint: You see this in school.

>>165 Not really, y can be a vowel and a consonant.

I'm sorry I'm so hung up on this, but I am.

>>144 >>143 It was intended to be Empty but actually it looks like aisle is correct as well.

>>168 Technically, empty is wrong because you actually pronounce the "p" and with that sound it wouldn't fit into the riddle but eh xD

>>169 (69lel) technically Empty is actually the certified answer. Whilst saying it in a sentence, you only say Emtee, it's pretty impossible to pronounce the P.

>>159 is it 1:50, 2:50, or 1:15?

>>171 Nope :P

>>159 That isn't currency specific, is it? Because I only know about the Australian dollar system. Quarters and pennies are not my thing.

OH MY FUCKING GOD *revelation moment*
A quarter is 25 cents, right? He's giving a quarter to his two sons so the answer could be 'A quarter to two'. Unless I'm retarded and that's not how American currency works.

>>174 Nope, a quarter is 25 cents I think you got the right answer.

>>174 I looked it up a while ago; that's the answer.

>>173 Well, it did involve Quarters, so I guess it's sorta currency specific >.> Sorry!

>>174 Congratulations, you got it! :D Yep, since he's giving 10 and 15, to two sons, it's giving "A Quarter to Two," (:
At least no one made me seem stupid by guessing it really fast :3

Anyone else got riddles for us? D:

What's red, blue, yellow, purple, white, is a rock, and can fly?

>>178 A multicolored flying rock, obviously.

>>178 A flying rainbock?

>>178 Earth?

Ohhhh, I got a tricky one for you people today.
A house has 4 walls. All of the walls are facing south, and a bear is circling the house. What color is the bear?

Now, I saw the answer as soon as I read it but I imagine it might take people as retarded as me a while to get it.

>>182 Crimson red from the blood of its enemies.

>>183 If that isn't a legit answer, it is almost an unintentional reference to the Chat Quotes thread. If it is a legitimate answer, it's good, follows the same kind of logic but no, isn't correct.

>>182 is it white? i think i've heard of that one before ^_^

Mmmm, maybe. I want a solid reason as to why before I will accept an answer, though.

>>182 The bear is white, because if all the walls are facing south that means you're on the north pole = polar bears.
thanks my guess :P

This made my remember another one, but the reasoning is somewhat similar, so I"ll wait a few weeks for this one to drown out first ;)

----

----

----

rebumping, once more because my mistake.

^

>>187 Yep, that's totally correct. Seeing as I never had to guess the answer, I still can't tell if it's a hard one or not. Just depends on the person, I guess

>>178 I know that >>181 is correct but I still wouldn't really say that Earth 'flies' as such. Nor is it entirely made out of rock.

Mine is not Earth. Is is something you will never guess unless you know what I have played lately.

>>194 Is it something to do with pikmin, then?

>>194 If its from Pikmin then I really don't know.

>>196 It IS Pikmin.

Red Pikmin, Blue Pikmin, Yellow Pikmin, Purple Pikmin, White Pikmin, Rock Pikmin, and Flying Pikmin.

----

>>198 Which one of those are all of those things at once?

The Pikmin as a species.

Or, if you won't accept that: Onions, the Pikmin's homes, are theorized my Olimar to be Pikmin who weren't plucked long enough to grow into what they are. In Pikmin 3, they all fuse together into the Master Onion, causing it to be every Pikmin sub-species at the same time.

That is true only if Olimar's theory is correct.

Bump

it can be stolen but never bought.
it can be given but never taken.
it can be stepped on but cannot walk.
it can fly, but has no wings.
it can sing, but has no voice.
it can be broken, but still it works.
it can be left, even while it follows.
and though its easily controlled, it cannot be demanded.
what is it?

if noone figures it out after a day ill post a different one

>>203 My best guess is a heart...?

correct. how bout this one.
a man was captured by cannibals. they told him if he guessed how they would kill him they would boil him alive and if he guessed wrong they would chop his head off. he made his guess and they were forced to set him free. what was his guess?

>>206 He guessed that he would guess wrong.

>>206 He said they'd chop his head off.
They couldn't chop his head off, because then he'd have guessed correctly.
Anything else, and they'd have to cut his head off.

Pretty sure paradox or not, they would have just killed him, though.

right? gotta love contradictions. (said noone ever)

>>208 got it right. and im out of riddles for now

>>207 He guessed that they would chop his head off to be more specific. Also, the question contradicted itself in the first place because it would have been impossible to guess wrong. Any guess that he made would then be up them to decide if it was right or wrong because the way that they're going to kill him is determined by their reaction to his answer, making it impossible to have an answer until an answer exists. The question would either require a set future which would then render the choice pointless or a variable defined prior to the question.

>>211 Yeah, it doesn't really make sense when they literally tell him if you guess it right, we'll boil you.

Also, they could just say 'Yes, you guessed it right, we were going to chop your head off, so now we're going to boil you'. Even though you guessed it right, guessing it right changes the situation.

true. i got that out of a riddle book and it sounded odd when i read it.

true. i got that out of a riddle book and it sounded odd when i read it.

The version that makes more sense would sound more like "if you say something true, well strangle you. If you say a lie, we'll chop off your head."

You could then respond with "you will chop off my head" and get off scot free.

>>215 Same kind of thing applies there, too. That only becomes truth or a lie after they do it. If someone tries to predict the future and fails, are they lying? I think lying requires knowing you are doing it.

You're brought before the grand high inquisitor, and he tells you that he will leave it to God to decide your fate. He brings out a cup with two folded pieces of paper. He tells the crowd that one says guilty, and one says innocent, and the verdict will be random, whichever you pick. However, you saw him prepare them, and know they both say guilty. If you accuse him though, you know you will be put to death on the spot. If you pick guilty though, you know you'll be executed. You MUST pick one. How can you stay alive?

>>217 Take both and open them both up simultaneously, showing the crowd they the inquisitor wants to play God.

>>217
Take one and destroy it without reading it. When the other is revealed, the only option is that you picked innocent.

>>216 That one makes more sense because the variable that determines his fate is the answer itself, not their reaction to it. It does require some exceptions of logic for the lies, like you said, assuming he says something like "all cows are purple" and not "my grand mother's middle name is frank". His answer breaks the system because their reaction (previously determined by what he said) contradicts itself eternally. It's never going to be a full proof riddle but it works.

>>218 Is a good one but I think >>219 has it.

>>220 Agreed.

>>219 is correct.

A man lives on the tenth floor of a building. Every morning he takes the elevator down to the lobby and leaves the building. In the evening, he gets into the elevator, and, if there is someone else in the elevator - or if it was raining that day - he goes back to his floor directly. Otherwise, he goes to the seventh floor and walks up three flights of stairs to his apartment. Can you explain why?

>>222 He was only tall enough to reach the 7th button.

>>223 And the "or if it was raining that day" part refers to him having an umbrella handy to press the higher buttons, right?

>>224 That's right.
Could just get a cane, though.

>>219 That happened in Gamblefish if anyone reads that.

What you could do is try that trick on someone that already knows it but make both of them say inncent just to mess with them XD

>>223 >>224 Si.
I'm learning Spanish!

>>225 Yea, you would figure he would get on that...but riddle guys are never very smart.

What word becomes shorter when it is lengthened?

>>229
"Short"

too easy, bro

>>230
Was doing to bump meaningless thread off. First one I could think of.

I pull others to me, but with them I no longer exist. What am I?

^

Bump because riddles are awesome

>>231 The answer's so obvious...It's the mothers!!! I pull "others" towards me and with "them" I know longer exist. Them others...The Mothers XD
Okay I wasn't serious but I had to just cus it's mothers day.

It's not a mirage is it?
Maybe silence or space?
I have no clue but I have a feeling it's going to have something to do with biology like electrons or dissaccharides. Something that adds to make it something else.

But just to put a new riddle out there...or at least I think it's a riddle.

8 kids are playing tennis and the coach brings over a basket with 8 tennis balls in it. Each of the kids take one ball each. There's one left in the basket. Why?
I hope I said that right but I heard it a while ago.

I think the answere is Birth
......

My Riddle :
I Look Like You
But Feel No Pain
I'm In The Sun
But Not The Rain

>>233 They already had one ball, so they only needed seven more.

>>234 My reflection.

>>234 a mirage? I suck at riddles...

>>234 A shadow.

I can be created by humans, though they cannot control me. I suck on wood, paper, and flesh alike. I can be more of a hindrance than a help at times. To my creators, I appear to be everywhere at once.

What am I?

>>238 images of hearts withinitials of a duo from a now-dead relationship on them?

>>235 Nope.

It was forgotten in the mix, but the answer is 'vacuum'.

If broken, I work.
If touched, I can be caught.
If lost, nothing matters.
What am I?

>>249 I hate riddles... What is this...

>>249 "If broken, I work"- A glow stick
"If touched, I can be caught"- Something in a Venus fly trap
"If lost, nothing matters"- ....Air

"What am I?"

A Venus flytrap and glow stick in a vacuum....

>>249 your heart?

My life can be measured in hours;
I serve by being devoured.
Thin, I am quick;Fat, I am slow.
Wind is my foe
What am I?

>>253 a candle.

>>249 has been pissing me off for days, too.

A man goes on a journey, in his pack he carries something precious that he knows he must never throw away. The more tired the man feels the lighter the pack gets. What is in the pack?

>>255
Water

>>256 Yes. T.T

>>249 Yo Aeterna, if you're still around, my guess is sticky tape or glue.

I don't think I'm right but meh.

what starts with b and rhymes with chump

Bump :D

If one man can dig a hole in one hour,
Two men can dig 2 holes in 2 hours,

How much time would take one man to dig half a hole?

>>261 The only answer I come to is half an hour.

But that doesn't seem right...

Also, "half a hole" is still just a hole. For some reason the way that was worded bothered me.
And the fact that there's a mix of spelt and non-spelt numbers in there.

What is cold but feels hot, heavy but feels light, sharp but feels round?

>>261

1 hour, because half a hole is still a hole right?

A quarter hour, because it would take half a man half an hour for half a hole, and one mans performance is double half a mans, so the time would be half

that is a really common riddle with a stupid answer.
"no time because you can't dig half a hole "

>>266 oooooooooooooooooooohh XD

mind=blown

>>266 I had a feeling it was going to be something stupid like that.

I feel cheated.

>>268 haha well here is an easy one:

What's black and white and red all over?

>>269

an embarrassed zebra

yuno in a black and white version of mirai nikki XD

>>269 The doujinshi I bought in middle school?

>>269 y'know, there's a difference between a joke and a riddle.

>>270 nooooooo the real answer was supposed to be a "newspaper" (black, white and red (read) all over)
But I was thinking of an embarrassed zebra =(

>>272 why not both?

>>273 Because this is the riddle thread. You should be able to figure out the riddlw posted here by thinking about them.

And that riddle doesn't exactly work in written form. Misspelling the word "red" changes it. I actually thought that "an embarrassed zebra" was supposed to be the answer for a bit there.

>>274 don't be such a fussypants, hard or not, funny or not it was a riddle joke in the RANDOM section.
Go find another place to whine please.
You want hard? answer this without googling
"There is a story that a man and not a man
Saw and did not see a bird and not a bird
Perched on a branch and not a branch
And hit him and did not hit him with a rock and not a rock" How is this possible?

>>275 No need to be rude.

I made a mistake and thought that that "embarrassed zebra" thing was the answer, and assumed you'd made a joke. I'm kinda kicking myself now since I realised after that I'd heard that one anyway.

But my point about your riddle stands. When you say the word "red/read" aloud, it can have two meanings, but when you spell it with one of those words it rules out the other. In your case, it rules out the solution, making the riddle redundant.

And this being the RANDOM board doesn't mean you can just post whatever you want in whatever thread and it's cool. There's a joke thread somewhere, but in this one you post riddles.

>>276 It is still a riddle, be it intended as a funny riddle doesn't matter, it being easily solved doesn't matter.

>>275 WTF dude, what the hell is with that riddle
Answer, it isn't a story. Also I see that it is lacking, where is the "and did not perch"?

>>278 nope.
There is no "and did not perch" part, at least in the version I was told.

"I am something you need to live, but the world must share me. What am I?"

>>280 Oxygen

>>281 that can have so many answers, even porn.

"There is a story that a man and not a man
Saw and did not see a bird and not a bird
Perched on a branch and not a branch
And hit him and did not hit him with a rock and not a rock" How is this possible?

A woman saw a bat that perched on something then was hit with a diamond

>>283 you get the gist there almost but not almost (pun not intended)
Sorry to say... Nope

When is a door not a door?

>>285 When you don't have a door. (Kokkuri-san, sorry)

>>286 Okay, I'll give that.
What has a neck, but no head?

>>287 A bottle.

>>287 dullahan?

It's a bottle. Name gets the prize.

I’m tall when I’m young and I’m short when I’m old. What am I?

>>291
The annoying snow lump in Frozen. can't remember his name.

>>292 Actually, it's Benjamin Button

It can also be a Candle. New candles are tall and grow shorter the longer you use them.

Poor people have it. Rich people need it. If you eat it you die. What is it?

>>295 Mother's love.

>>295
Nothing.

What walks on 8 legs in the morning, 4 legs in the afternoon, and 2 legs in the evening?

>>297 Kumoko??? I have absolutely no idea.

>>297 That reminded me of a similar/simpler one.

What walks on 4 legs in the beginning, 2 legs for the middle, and 6 legs in the end?

>>297 Correct, it's nothing.

A spider that is slowly being devoured by ants as it tries to get away until it finally perishes in the evening.

>>299 (This is under the impression that the animal in question is a vertebrae) So from 4 legs, we can tell that it's a lizard or a mammal. From 2 legs, bird or human. 6 legs, insect.

Answer: That pokemon that creeps the fuck out of you.

>>300 HOLY FUCK THAT IS MORBID

>>301 + >>299 The answer is man, he crawls on all fours as a baby, walks on two legs for adulthood, and then... well, maybe it is the pokemon.

>>303 I'm always right.

>>304 We'll see...

How do you make the number one disappear?

>>305 Wish for it. It'll come true, we have a thread for it after all.

>>303 An elderly person with a walker would be using 6 legs.

>>306 Curses, I've been foiled.

You could also just add G and then one becomes gone. (Probably easier then trying to make a wish...)

>>308 That's doesn't actually remove the 'one' because it's still there

>>307 .......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................Oh

>>307 You know, I don't think there were walkers when the sphinx was around...

We see it once in a year, twice in a week, and never in a day. What is it?

>>310 The Letter E

>>311 I need to come up with harder riddles.

>>312 I was going to say 'time-space anomalies', oh well

What's the worst idea that ever existed?

This thread???

A horse is on a 24 foot chain and wants an apple that is 26 feet away. How can the horse get to the apple?

>>314 Close 'nough

>>315 Break the chain?

>>315 Teleport, or neigh like a fucking badass till someone gives him the apple.

The chain isn't connected to anything.

>>320 Still think teleporting is a better option.

>>321 Why? The apple is only a few feet away why would you teleport to it when you can literally take five steps.

>>322 Conservation of energy. Also more time effecient

>>298
>>299
It's the Weasley Twins.

>>324 Aha aha, ha ....ha............That's just sad

>>315 It didn't say that the horse is tied with a chain, it just says "on" a chain. So the horse can just walk away from the chain and get the apple.

>>315 And assuming that the chain is 24 feet, the horse would be 5-8 feet lenght, the horse would still be able to reach the apple.

>>326 If you look at comment >>320 you'll see that I already said the chain isn't connected to anything. ;)

A man leaves home and turns left three times, only to return home facing two men wearing masks. Who are those two men?

>>328 I thought this was going to be some reference, went to google it. I WAS RIGHT.

Catcher and umpire

>>329 I literally just google riddles. I copy and paste them... Can someone else come up with riddles?

Ok, I googled hard and got one that I think will trip a few people up.

Why is a raven like a writing desk?

>>332 What an asshole, don't go around using unanswerable riddles

>>333 It is completely answerable :)

"LEWIS CARROLL himself proposed an answer in the 1897 final revision of Alice's Adventures. "Because it can produce a few notes, though they are very flat; and it is never put with the wrong end in front!" The early issues of the revision spell "never" as "nevar", ie "raven" with the wrong end in front."

>>335 No, that is completely off and way too complicated.

>>332 Because the raven's color can be used as an ink and its feather for a pen?

>>337 Nope.
Since two people have guessed and failed I will give the answer...
Edgar Allen Poe has written on both of them.

What never starts but also never ends what never speeds up but also never slow downs?

>>339 Creativity?

Humans

>>339 Newton's first law of motion

>>339 time?

>>342 Your answer sounds legitimate... Will NZPIEFACE solve yet another riddle? Tune in whenever Dollars decides to give the correct answer!

>>343 and I have the same answer

>>339 something that isn't moving in the first place?

>>342 Wrong, Newton's law of motion requires a starting point thàt will keep an object on constant speed, and its impossible for an object to have a constant speed without the help of outside force. If were taking a ball as an example, the main factors for its accelaration would be mass, gravity, force and velocity, but there are other factors like the friction and air resistance that makes the object slows down an stops. So inertia does have a starting and an ending point. It also speeds up based on the terrain or the force, and slows down with friction and air resistance.

So your answer is invalid

I come to a rigid point yet am pointless,
I am devoured by zombies,
and I cause pain when idiots say my name.
What am I?

>>348 Obviously, "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious"

>>347 "An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force"............

>>349 I understand that but how will an object be on a same speed if it slowly slows down as it touches more floor or move a greater distance between the initial point and current point?

>>350 "unless"

>>348 The answer is yaoi. I made a riddle! No one answered it except NZPIEFACE... My life.

Why can't someone living in Maine be buried in Florida?

>>353
Generally people who are living don't get buried anywhere, much less hundreds of miles away.

>>354 That is correct. You bon't bury people who are still alive... *evil voice* You burn them.

>>355
You just insulted Enma Ai.
Now she will haunt you.

>>356 Oh fuck.
