Yeah, I can understand why you don't want people just to answer straightaway. Spoils it for others. That's part of the reason I asked people to post answers in black, so they're still solvable without accidentally finding an answer

.
I wasn't going to give people a clue as the game, but I may as well say it (you'd still have to find it in-game). This is one of the few riddles that wasn't in BG

, it was in Neverwinter Nights instead.

Wrong answer on my riddle.

Second guess:As much as can grow (and regrow) on an orange tree

Ravager · Post by **Ravager** » Wed Aug 31, 2005 9:46 am

Nope. Keep going.

Hehe, but my last answer would make more or less an interesting answer on itself, don't you think?

Okay, let's look at it in a less complicated way: you just have one orange, as 3 - 2 = 1

Ravager · Post by **Ravager** » Wed Aug 31, 2005 10:04 am

That's still not it

TheAmazingOopah · Post by **TheAmazingOopah** » Wed Aug 31, 2005 10:06 am

Blast, dj venom would have the right answer at the first guess...

Two?

Ravager · Post by **Ravager** » Wed Aug 31, 2005 10:09 am

Yes. Third time lucky. After that thing about the orange tree, I thought you were just going to go off on some weird tangent. Keep the riddle going for an hour or something

A new one:

Which word in the English language becomes shorter when it is lengthened?

TheAmazingOopah · Post by **TheAmazingOopah** » Wed Aug 31, 2005 10:18 am

Well, fourth time actually...

I think your riddle already got posted before, though I'm not sure. Is the one with the answer:

Few? (---> fewer)

Ravager · Post by **Ravager** » Wed Aug 31, 2005 10:20 am

I think there may have been a similar riddle, but that's not the right answer.

TheAmazingOopah · Post by **TheAmazingOopah** » Wed Aug 31, 2005 10:35 am

In that case: Short?

Ravager · Post by **Ravager** » Wed Aug 31, 2005 10:36 am

*nods* That's right. Well done

TheAmazingOopah · Post by **TheAmazingOopah** » Wed Aug 31, 2005 10:46 am

Perhaps I have another riddle, but it's in German. Well, let's see if you guys can understand it (and answer it...):

Was ist tiefer: teller oder tasse?

(fingers crossed that Xandax won't ban me for ignoring the forum rules regarding the English language...

)

A box without hinges, key, or a lid, yet golden treasure inside is hid.

Solution: egg?

EDIT: And for the foreign language: I don't think you'll get banned, unless you are a repeated offender or use foreign language to camouflage profanity. Nah, just a light friendly flogging with scented bootlaces would be OK for you.

Phew, so the punishment itself will be not so cruel. Still, it's a punishment based on bodily harm, so the question remains: who will serve it to me? I can trust no one!

*backs away to the wall, while looking around with paranoid, swift gazes*

Anyway, correct answer to the Neverwinter Night/The Hobbit riddle

I know that you guys have not finished your last riddle yet...well, maybe. But Ill put up another anyways.

A man is lying on his bed, terribly wounded after a spar fell on him. The doctor tries to help the now delusional man up, and ask him where there is pain. to which he replies, "Chop a quarter off a boat, and you will find what is broken."

Where is he injured?

Did we give up on my crappy riddle? lol

[QUOTE=Ravager]If you have three oranges and you take away two, how many wil you have?[/QUOTE]
--> 2 of course, because that's how many you took!

Then it wouldn't have been a guess.

As for hill, maybe the answer is....stern, sternum?

TheAmazingOopah · Post by **TheAmazingOopah** » Thu Sep 01, 2005 1:51 am

Well, it still could be a guess, which is just inmediately the right one. Or are you saying that you never guess and just always *know* the answer?

[QUOTE=Chimaera182]Did we give up on my crappy riddle? lol[/QUOTE]
I did a little bit, though it seems like a good riddle to me. However, if you say it's crappy, the answer probably will be something lousy...
But let's give it a try: 'y'?
