Riddle Me This!

[Gunshin]

Yes, I'm bored...So let's do some riddles, shall we?

Nothing really official yet...But...

Basically, who ever has the most points at the end of each round (10 questions) They shall get an interesting Pokemon...Possibly a rare pokemon, or maybe a little prize from a different game. All will be explained to the winner in a PM.

You have unlimited guesses! Since I doubt many people will play XD

If the winner leaks information about the Winning PM, they shall not be able to compete or get their prize.

So, with that all cleared up...SOLVE THIS RIDDLE!!!

Play the detective - solve this murder mystery :

A man was found murdered one Sunday morning.

His wife immediately called the police.

The police questioned the wife and staff and was given these alibis:


The Wife said she was in bed reading a book.
The Cook claimed she cooking breakfast.
The Gardener claimed he was planting seeds.
The Maid claimed she was getting the mail.
The Butler claimed he polishing the silver.

The police instantly arrested the murdered. Who did it and how did they know?

I was rather happy when I solved this in 2 seconds XD

[Trombones13]

I am supposed to post and not PM, right? *crosses fingers* Sorry if not.

It's the maid--there is no mail delivery on Sunday. :-D

[Trombones13]

Before I try this, am I allowed to answer again?

[Gunshin]

Before I try this, am I allowed to answer again?

Of course, you're not limited to an amount of guesses.

[LovelyStrife]

Because he isn't dead?

[meeker]

First of all, if we get the answer wrong, are we allowed to guess again?

My funny guess: he is still alive. :) he he he (no, a second sooner and I would have gotten it if it is correct.)

The little dog is the son of the fat dog, but the fat dog is not the father of the thin dog.

The three wisest sages in the land were brought before the king to see which of them were worthy to become the king's advisor. After passing many tests of cunning and invention, they were pitted against each other in a final battle of the wits.

Led blind-folded into a small room, the sages were seated around a small wooden table as the king described the test for them.

"Upon each of your heads I have placed a hat. Now you are either wearing a blue hat or a white hat. All I will tell you is this- at least one of you is wearing a blue hat. There may be only one blue hat and two white hats, there may be two blue hats and one white hat, or there may be three blue hats. But you may be certain that there are not three white hats."

"I will shortly remove your blind folds, and the test will begin. The first to correctly announce the colour of his hat shall be my advisor. Be warned however, he who guesses wrongly shall be beheaded. If not one of you answers within the hour, you will be sent home and I will seek elsewhere for wisdom."

With that, the king uncovered the sages' eyes and sat in the corner and waited. One sage looked around and saw that his competitors each were wearing blue hats. From the look in their eyes he could see their thoughts were the same as his, "What is the colour of my hat?"

For what seemed like hours no one spoke. Finally he stood up and said, "The colour of the hat I am wearing is . . ."

[Vott]

Is it blue?............

[cowmoo83]

bleu??? Oops.. accidently typed wrong... blue XP

darn.. I lost to vott...

otherwise they wouldnt have to think about it for so long

I am something whose echo cannot be heard

I am something that lives in the water

But I also live in the air, and land

And yet... i am always floating on water

[meeker]

gunshin, you put no question down. you only stated what you are. And you are the riddle master?

anyway, are you oxygen? (oxygen is in water. It is in the air. and plants produce it, and have it inside of them. and oxygen does not make sound, so it can not echo)

[Trombones13]

Ohh! I get it now. It's blue--if he sees two blue hats, the other one would have to be blue. The others would have seen that one was blue and one was white, and known that theirs was blue (because they all knew that there were at least two blue hats).

[cowmoo83]

a duck??? IDK XP

there quacks dont echo (random fun-fact I learned)
they live in water, but can fly, but usually floats on water XP

[Trombones13]

Too slow on that one, but this one is a duck. I learned something new!

[Gunshin]

a duck??? IDK XP

Oh that was a little hard.

[cowmoo83]

this thread is fun! Great job gunshin!:)

[meeker]

are you light? (light is sent from many stars throughout the universe, being sent flying through space, every which way. It is an inanimate substance, therefore it can not see and light, when shown through water, which breaks it down into visible light, forms a rainbow)

[Gunshin]

Well, I knew somebody had to enjoy riddles as much as I do ^^;

In the lowercase stuff, it says "x y x &" instead of "x y z."

[cowmoo83]

wait, I said that... x &. stuff, I think XP or maybe my edit was like a second slow, cause I changed it and nobody had posted below me when i checked to see if youd updated the pic
@vott- yeah, i noticed that too, but I figured it was just the font XP

[Trombones13]

Holy Toledo! Was that accidental? The only thing different was the & you added; I didn't put it there because it wasn't in the uppercase portion. :o

There's not a kingdom on the earth,
But I have travell'd o'er and o'er,
And though I know not whence my birth,
Yet when I come, you know my roar.

I through the town do take my flight,
And through the fields and meadows green,
And whether it be day or night,
I neither am nor can be seen.

Here's a real tough one X3

My friend and I from home did part,
Of whom I had some way the start:
So on we ran, ten miles or more,
And I same distance was before:
Now tell me how that this could be,
As I ran twice as fast as he?

Well Whitd, I just didn't want to make it seem like I was being mean to Meeker ^^; Like, if someone else got it, she might have protested that the sun is a star and what not.

Two bodies have I, though both join'd in one;
The stiller I stand, the faster I run.

[meeker]

The figure I have... Hourglass! (the top part contains the sand, and the bottom the sand goes into. when it stays still and flat, the sand falls faster)
yeah, you should really not allow people to answer if they get the previous one correct.

My form is beauteous to the ravish'd sight,
My habit gay, my colour gold or white;
When ladies take the air, I, without pride,
A faithful partner, am close by their side;
I near their persons constantly remain,
A favourite slave, bound with a golden chain;
And though I can both speak and go alone,
Yet are my motions to myself unknown.

[meeker]

A pocket watch. (they are shiny gold on the outside, and white in the center where the clock is. they are found in pockets, always with people, they hang from loops on shirts, or in pockets, by a chain. and it can not tell time it needs someone to tell it for it.

[Gunshin]

Someone's on a role...

Meeker has 5 points now...(what a land slide..)

If Meeker can answer this last riddle (even though anyway has a chance) correct, then she wins! ^^


My head is struck by a forging hammer,
Sheared close by a shaping blade,
Honed smooth by a fierce file.
Sometimes I swallow my tempered foe,
When bound by rings, I heave from behind,
Thrust a long limb through a hard hole,
Catch hard the keeper of the heart's pleasure,
Twist with my tongue and turn back
The midnight guardian of my lord's treasure
When the conquering warrior comes to hold
the gift of slaughter, the joy of gold.

[meeker]

a key??? hardest one. (they are hooked on rings with others. They are long, and at the end have little patterns. They go into holes to unlock them; things such as treasures.

[Gunshin]

man, well congratz meeker! Hey, do the scores reset each time and are there set times for the sessions?

[Gunshin]

Yes, Scores do reset ^^ other wise we'd have people who would win every 10 rounds XD

But I'm done for the night, I'm riddled out...I'm thinking 10 riddles every night along with a chapter a night...which probably wont happen when I get a DSi!

[cowmoo83]

hey. are you going to set the amount of time when the next set of questions are coming on, cause I think that that would make it more fun, more competition, etc. Well, I wish that I could have finished, but I decided to go to my friends house and hang out... great idea, and I forgot to post my thoughts on your story... the last chapter was... interesting- meeting a random gym leader XP
