Is this a variant on the Sphinx riddle? And if so, Man, though it can be argued Man is weakest on three.

Guildmaster · 07-06-2007, 10:42 PM

That's the correct answer,and I agree with that statement.
Your prize is the sum of 50pts.

NEXT RIDDLE.the reward 70pts.

which way will the smoke travel and how long will the trail be?

PS:I'll get the points to you when and if i can.

Firestorm · 07-06-2007, 11:01 PM

Is this a riddle or math problem?

-------------------
edit:

Nevermind, it's a riddle.

Electric trains don't have smokestacks.

Guildmaster · 07-06-2007, 11:04 PM

correct. next!!!

you've probably heard this one, but oh well.

A rooster lays an egg on the top of a barn. The roof of the barn is facing Northeast to Southwest. If the egg is on the exact center of the roof,
which way will the egg roll?

Firestorm · 07-06-2007, 11:05 PM

Having grown up on a farm, I speak with utmost certainty when I say that I have never seen a rooster lay an egg.

Could be wrong, though.

***Ace Mercury*** · 07-06-2007, 11:42 PM

Is this an anthropomorphic rooster? Because anyone can just put eggs wherever they want.

Guildmaster · 07-07-2007, 12:01 AM

FS got it.
Now this one's a bit more tricky.

While exploring the wilds of Canada, Wild Man Dave was captured by hostile wood fairies. Brad, the powerful chief of the fairies told him he could make one final statement which would determine how he would die. If the statement he made was false, he would be boiled in water. If the statement were true, he would be fried in oil. Wild Man Dave found neither of this options too his liking, so he made a statement that got him out of this seemingly impossible situation. What is the one statement he could have made?

***Ace Mercury*** · 07-07-2007, 12:09 AM

"This sentence is false."

***CaptHayfever*** · 07-07-2007, 12:24 AM

While Ace has already given the official correct answer, my own "The cheese is yesterday" would also be effective.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

Firestorm · 07-07-2007, 12:27 AM

^^Never heard that one before. I like it.

***Ace Mercury*** · 07-07-2007, 12:33 AM

Alternative answers are "Colorless green ideas sleep furiously.", "I'm going to be boiled in water.", and "I'll give you maple syrup and Canadian Tire money."

Guildmaster · 07-07-2007, 02:52 AM

Finally.
It's I'm going to be boiled in water.

Okay now someone else can post a riddle.

In case you're wondering this is how it works.

wild man dave said: "you will boil me in water." The faeries were faced will a dilemma. if they boil him, than he would have to tell a lie, but since he wasn't, they should boil him, but the fact still remained that he had said something neither truthful, nor deceitful, so they had to let him go, for they couldn't make a verdict.

***Ace Mercury*** · 07-07-2007, 01:44 PM

Neither is "This sentence is false." It's a statement which is neither true nor false.

Firestorm · 07-07-2007, 10:17 PM

Couldn't Wild Man Dave just use any statement that can not be verified?

For example,

"My favorite color is blue."
- The fairies can't tell if that's true.

"I'm going to live to be 80."
- They would have to wait till he turns 80 to see if that's true.

"I will not make another statement."
- They would never know until he speaks again.

Anyways...

Not really a riddle, but still funny:

How long should a person's legs be?

You get a cookie if you can tell me where I got that from.

A Scatmanson · 07-07-2007, 10:23 PM

Bigger than a foot.

Firestorm · 07-07-2007, 10:26 PM

^Probably true, but not the one I'm looking for. There is a specific answer.

Firestorm · 07-09-2007, 12:51 AM

Answer below.

Q: How long should a person's legs be?

A: Spoiler Below

They should reach from his waist to the ground.

A comment made by Abraham Lincoln.

Someone else's turn.

Lucas · 07-09-2007, 12:52 AM

^^^^ They're fairies, duh.

A Scatmanson · 07-09-2007, 10:59 AM

Here's an easy one for people who watch a certain medical comedy involving a character named John Dorian:

Two coins make thirty cents, and one of them is not a nickel. Name the two coins.
