That's it.

There is a frog, dead in the middle of an island. If he swims north, the distance to the mainland is 2 metres. If he swims south, the distance to the mainland is 3 metres. If he swims east or west, the distance is 4 metres. Which way does he swim?

On your riddle:

Nice alliteration (think that's the term). Correct

Hmm...can't think of much for your riddle...water?

Three playing cards in a row. Can you name them with these clues?
There is a two to the right of a king.

Now, identify all three cards.

After some hard work, I think this is the answer:
AK2
DHS

Sort of close, but expand on that. How does water normally burn the mouth and sting the eyes?

Ravager · Post by **Ravager** » Mon Sep 26, 2005 5:16 am

Correct.

Hmm...something to do with acid? I don't think I know this one

One word in this sentence is misspelled. What word is it?

dj_venom · Post by **dj_venom** » Mon Sep 26, 2005 5:21 am

Well mine, the answer is either acid or salt. Both answers will do.

'Misspelled'..... it is the word 'misspelled'.

Is this one of those riddles that have a stack of answers...

Eg. A mat, milk, money and some state?

Ravager · Post by **Ravager** » Mon Sep 26, 2005 5:29 am

No, you use the clues from the riddle to get a one-word answer.

Matmilkmoney

Ravager · Post by **Ravager** » Mon Sep 26, 2005 5:41 am

You're close, but it's not milk.

watsaguy2do · Post by **watsaguy2do** » Mon Sep 26, 2005 5:56 am

A man carefully stepped through a seventh story window and swiftly reached the floor unscaythed.............. how?

Ravager · Post by **Ravager** » Mon Sep 26, 2005 6:02 am

The RI is rye.

@wats, I posted something similar to that ages ago, so I won't answer it.

dj_venom · Post by **dj_venom** » Mon Sep 26, 2005 6:03 am

Yeah, I will let it stand too.

Not to sound like an idiot, but what is rye?
