My riddle is solved...

(The proper one anyway)

I know what my job is,
The point has been made.
You say I have a big head,
And you're right, I'm afraid.
Put me in my place,
And then leave me alone.
What I need most,
Is someone to drive me home.

Yes. Well done

I have a hundred legs, But cannot stand.
I have a long neck, But no head.
I cannot see, and I'm neat and tidy, As can be.
What am I?

Is this an actual animal? In that case itd be a millipide or centipede.

Ravager · Post by **Ravager** » Sun Sep 11, 2005 11:23 am

Nope. Wrong answer....

This is an odd guess, but I'll say a racetrack?

Is that a guess to my riddle? If so, that's wrong.

This seems similar to another riddle.... is the answer broom?

Great work, I didn't even think about expanding it from boat to ship...

You're good...like usual.

A man kills his wife. Many people watch him doing so.
Yet no one will ever be able to accuse him of murder. Why?

Two possible answers:

Was she sentenced to death and he was the executioner...

Other than that maybe he gave her peanuts when she was allergic or something along those lines.

Hmm...close enough. Given answer follows- He is a hangman and she happened to be sentenced to death.

A man was digging and found a block of ice with two people in it. Immediatly, he knew it was Adam and Eve. How did he know?

Hehehe, close enough's not good enough...this time it'll be perfect

Yeah that's right, I thought that was quite a good riddle

Assign every letter of the alphabet its numerical value: A=1, B=2, C=3, and so on, up to z=26. Can you think of a familiar 7 letter word whose letter values total only 21?

I believe it would be .... CABBAGE (I think you really need to have heard this one previously, unless you've had a hint. Last time I heard this I had the hint of 'you can eat this')

Ravager · Post by **Ravager** » Mon Sep 12, 2005 10:03 am

It did have a hint with the riddle., but I thought you'd solve it anyway...

And, gosh, I was right...

What expression would these letters describe?
T
E
K
R
A
M

Falling market ?

Ravager · Post by **Ravager** » Mon Sep 12, 2005 10:28 am

No, that's not it. Good guess though.

Fiona · Post by **Fiona** » Mon Sep 12, 2005 1:59 pm

Doh.

rising market

Ravager · Post by **Ravager** » Mon Sep 12, 2005 2:02 pm

Nope. Keep going...

I'll say if anyone's correct in the morning as I'm going now.
