Boohoohoo!


But I still haven't got Chimaera's one unless it's I.

Well that's just no fair .

Here's the deal, I won't answer riddles I know, however if there is one that I don't know, I will have a go at it.

As such, I don't know Chimaera's, so I'm allowed to have another go.

In? or possibly EveryI'minvolvedthing. This is because you said 'I'm involved' in everything.

Yes, let's all only answer the riddles we don't know already. That way, it will be fun for everyone (how great: it rhymes).

About the barber riddle: didn't the question say "does the barber shave himself"?

And another guess at Chimaera's riddle: God? or otherwise Life? No, that's probably not it.

lol Lestat got it. Like I said, it was dumb and something I thought up myself while I was oxygen-deprived (swimming), but at least it stumped people.

Venom was close, though; I hadn't considered the "in," but then "in" isn't involved in everything in the riddle.

OK so now I'm definitely going to be booted out of this thread.

Don't forget Nar! He'll turn up and solve our riddles without competition (especially now I mentioned his name)- Curses! .

My riddle was a paradox- so Venom was right.

I'll stick that in the rules of the first post at some point. See how receptive I am to feedback?

A new riddle:

A large truck is crossing a bridge 1 mile long. The bridge can only hold 14000 lbs, which is the exact weight of the truck. The truck makes it half way across the bridge and stops. A bird lands on the truck. Does the bridge collapse? Give a reason.

You answer to my crappy riddle 2 pages ago was wrong. It isnt the sternum, it s not a quarter, but your on the right track.

Hrm. I'll say no. The bridge's estimated (estimated, mind you; it's not exact) weight which it can hold is 14,000 pounds. But that also has more to do with the weight being evenly distributed over the bridge, not all in one spot (this sounds wrong now that I'm typing it). Plus, the truck could have stopped over one of the bridge's support columns).

Wrong reason. Anyone else?

--> Of course not. Every engineer knows that bridges are designed with a certain security factor, so if the nominal allowed load is 14k lbs, the bridge will hold (nominal allowed load)x(security factor) load...

I suppose that's not the answer you are looking for <---

Truck riddle: I believe it doesn't collapse, because the truck's on the middle of the bridge, so that bridge can bend a little bit, seeing that it's just the little amount of weight of a bird. But since 14.000 is the *excact* limit, and also the *excact* weight of the truck, that's probably not the answer you're looking for

Got it The truck needs to use petrol to get to the middle of the bridge. This is subtracted from the trucks weight!

giles is right. Well done

I'm sometimes white,
Although sometimes I'm black.
I take you there,
But never bring you back. What am I?

No that's not it. Keep on guessing.

I'm not sure about this one, but would it be... a hearse?

Congratulations! That is the correct answer!
Too much?

I am a three digit number.
My tens digit is five more than my ones digit.
My hundreds digit is eight less than my tens digit.
What number am I?

This seems quite easy..........194?
