Let's see who can solve it.

While exploring the wild highlands of Scotland, Crazy Rob was captured by hostile wood fairies.

Smazze, 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.

Crazy Rob found neither of these options to his liking, so he made a statement that got him out of this seemingly impossible situation.

What is the one statement he could make to save himself?

Please don't do it?

Logic ?

You will boil me in water?

I know the answer. Ask me for it if all else fails.

Logic ?




He told them he liked fairies?

He told them he liked fairies?

She didn't say it was in San Francisco!!

She didnt say it was in San Francisco !!!

:D:D:D He said okay?

I'm sticking with "you will boil me in water"


If they boil him in water that would make his statement true which means he should have been fried in oil. They can only fry him in oil if he makes a true statemen

I'm sticking with "you will boil me in water"

I'll say the same thing bella did. Do they have microwaves:eek: No wait he wanted a different kind of death. He wanted to be hung.

Aww shucks WG!

Aww shucks WG!

More alty more:D

If your meeting a man sporting wood lets hope your friends with him ;)

An unborn baby?

LOL nope to all. :)

Bella got it. :)

How long was I gone? I posted it, went to have dinner, came back, and 24 posts! Holy crap!

Okay, going to look at Ohso's riddle now.

Okay, another one. This one's easy, just use logic.

A horse is tied to a 15 ft. rope and there is a bail of hay 25 ft. away from him, yet the horse is able to eat from the bail of hay. How is this possible?

Okay, another one. This one's easy, just use logic.

The horse is ten foot long?

One especially for WG.

The paragraph below is most unusual. How quickly can you find out what is so unusual about it? It looks so ordinary you'd think nothing was wrong with it - and in fact, nothing is wrong with it. It is unusual though. Why?


"Gatsby was walking back from a visit down in Branton Hill's manufacturing district on a Saturday night. A busy day's traffic had had its noisy run; and with not many folks in sight, His Honour got along without having to stop to grasp a hand, or talk; for a mayor out of City Hall is a shining mark for any politician. And so, coming to Broadway, a booming bass drum and sounds of singing, told of a small Salvation Army unit carrying on amidst Broadway's night shopping crowds. Gatsby , walking towards that group, saw a youg girl, back toward him, just finishing a long, soulful oration ... "

The above passage is taken from the book "Gatsby" written by Ernest Vincent Wright in the late 1930's

The horse is ten foot long?

No Kit. :p

Again, use logic. There's nothing mystical about this. The horse is a normal horse, the rope is a normal rope, the hay is an average everyday bail of hay.

So what makes sense?

Read it again. :)

Okay he only has to go ten feet to eat it.

Okay he only has to go ten feet to eat it.

No. Everything in the riddle is true. The length of the rope ,10 feet and the distance of the hay, 25 feet are accurate

Ordinary horse, ordinary rope, ordinary hay, rope 10 feet long, hay 25 feet away. The rope is tied to the horse. How is he eating the hay?

It's really simple. Don't over think it. Go with the simple solution. Remember, the rope is tied to the horse. Hint, hint.

Gosh... Okay " old one here.. "A man rides his horse to town, yet he walks".. . Easy

Now try the Gatsby one. That one made me mad. I was looking for grammatical errors (not qualified but looked anyway, couldn't find any), or spelling (qualified but found none), and everything else I could think of. I even started to question whether the story was accurate, but that wasn't it.

When I finally figured it out I wanted to smack my head on a desk. So simple, but something I didn't look at until 2 days after I heard the riddle.

If you don't get it by tonight, I'll tell you. I'm hoping WG will take a look, see if she figures it out. :)

Again, it's simple.

Want a hint or do you want to mull it over for a bit first?

You're getting colder.

Nothing is wrong with the paragraph. Everything is perfect with the paragraph. There's just something unusual about it.

Hint: The thing that makes it unusual has nothing to do with an error, not in the grammatical sense or the story being told. The thing that makes it unusual is barely noticeable, but once you notice it, you'll want to bang your head up against a wall repeatedly for not having seen it before.

Hint #2: When you read it, does it flow easily off the tongue? Wonder why? That may lead you in the right direction, or it may not. It depends. :) No, I'm not being cryptic. ;)

Maybe something about "his Honor"... Let me think about till tomorrow.:)

None of the words are wrong. It has nothing to do with punctuation, capitalization, grammar, any of that. It's just unusual. :)

If there is a grammatical error, that's my fault, not the riddles. Don't look at grammar or any mistakes. There is no mistake. The paragraph is perfectly written.

It's just unusual. :)

Where's WG? Where did everyone else go?

Come on people, take a crack at it. :)

Here's the paragraph again, so people don't have to go back to find it.

Any spelling errors or missing punctuation and the like, that's my fault. There is nothing wrong with the paragraph. Nothing! It's just unusual.

Can you give me another hint?

It rhymes?

I don't know if this is it based on your clues, but I noticed there are no e's in it.

Can you give me another hint?

Big hint!

Something is missing. Not from the sentence, not punctuation or a capital, or anything of that nature. But something very common is missing.

I don't know if this is it based on your clues, but I noticed there are no e's in it.

WINNER!! :) :) :)

E is the most common letter in the English language, yet this entire paragraph doesn't have even one "e" in it.

Yay JLO! :)

There is no one in a lake. 20 people jump in. 24 heads come up. All heads human. How is this possible?

And yes all heads were on their shoulders!

That's it?? :rolleyes: :)

Conjoined twins?

I emailed this to my daughter and she said it was one of the things they studie in Creative writing... You'll never guess... No E's in the entire book.

Oops - deleted due to reading comprehension problem :p

There were already 4 people in the lake?

Yes, I said there is no one in a lake, 20 people jumped in...

Heheheh

They were dead people weren't they?

LOL. No, no dead people. Want another hint.

Look for a play on words.

LOL. No, no dead people. Want another hint.

There was no one but there were 4... :eek:

20 people jumped in, and the other 4 entered some other way - dove, swam, walked?

There is no one in a lake. 20 people jump in. 24 heads come up. All heads human. How is this possible?

The 24 heads that came up weren't in the lake. They were on the beach. They looked up when the 20 people jumped in the lake.

Am I close?

20 people jumped in, and the other 4 entered some other way - dove, swam, walked?

Thrown... :eek: They were already there not one but 4?

Nope. Do you guys give up?

Does Stringer know?

Nope. Do you guys give up?

Does Stringer know?

Stringer! If you know, than tell! We're dying here! ;)

Okay, I give up.

20-foreheads came up.


LMAO.

Stringer! If you know, than tell! We're dying here! ;)

Okay, I give up.

Come on Stringer:)

Bella... LOL>>>I would have never guessed that.

HAhahaha I am seriously laughing out loud, while ducking, glad no one is in arms length of me!

20-foreheads came up.


LMAO.

Oh that's bad! That's really bad! :rolleyes:

Run! :p

Okay, here's the riddle from Die Hard. When we watched it, I solved it while it was happening on screen, then I spent 3 hours explaining it to hubby. To this day he still doesn't get it. See if you do.

You have a 5 gallon jug and 3 gallon jug and more than enough water. You need exactly 4 gallons of water in order to defuse a bomb. Not one drop more than 4 gallons.

How do you get exactly 4 gallons?

DON'T spill a drop.

LMAO. Of course Bella, but how do you get exactly 4 gallons of water when you only have a 3 gallon jug and a 5 gallon jug, and you can't guess, it has to be exactly 4 gallons.

How do you get exactly 4 gallons?

Do the jugs have the amount of each gallon and ounce like you would have on a measruring cup.

This one is too easy lol. I'll wait and see if someone else gets it.

I'll take a stab at it.

I'd fill the 5 gallon jug, and pour it into the 3 gallon. What is left in the 5 gallon jug is 2 gallons. Dump the 3 gallons of water. Mark the point on the 5 gallon jug that is 2 gallons. Pour the 2 gallons into the 3 gallon. Fill the 5 gallon to the 2 gallon mark and between the 2 jugs, you have 4 gallons - or pour the 2 gallons in the 3 gallon jug into the 5 gallon jug and there are now 4 gallons in the 5 gallon jug.

I've lost all of you - huh? :p

OR...

Ok, they filled the 3 gallon jug and poured it into the 5 gal. jug. Then filled it again and poured the 3 gal into the 5 gal until it was full.
This left exactly one gallon in the 3 gallon jug.
Then they poured out the 5 gallon jug and put the 1 remaining gallon into the 5 gallon jug. So now there is one gallon in the 5 gallon. Now all you have to do is fill the 3 gal. up again and pour it into the 5 gallon.

I'll take a stab at it.

I've lost all of you - huh? :p

And then BOOOOM! Sorry Alty, you Bella and jlo make me laugh so hard I can't concentrate.:D

I think you've got it JLo, but there's no marking involved.

Here, maybe this explanation is easier.

1. Fill the 5 gallon jug to the top.
2. Pour water from 5 gallon jug into 3 gallon jug, leaving you with exactly 2 gallons in the 5 gallon jug.
3. Empty the 3 gallon jug.
4. Pour the 2 gallons you have left in the 5 gallon jug into the now empty 3 gallon jug. You now have exactly 2 gallons in the 3 gallon jug, leaving 1 gallon of space.
5. Fill the 5 gallon jug to the top again.
6. Pour 1 gallon from the 5 gallon jug into the 1 gallon of empty space in the 3 gallon jug giving you exactly 4 gallons in the 5 gallon jug.

Okay, that sounded easier when I wrote it. ;)

OR....

Ok, they filled the 3 gallon jug and poured it into the 5 gal. jug. Then filled it again and poured the 3 gal into the 5 gal until it was full.
This left exactly one gallon in the 3 gallon jug.

All I know is I want a drink now. :D

LMAO!

Okay, no more math questions. ;)

My head hurts, and I knew the answer. :p

LOL, I'll take a glass of water.

Ok we need more!

Someone else has to come up with one.

Google baby, or as Ben would say... STFW. :p

Okay, super easy one.

I am lighter than a feather, yet no man can hold me for very long. What am I?

Air. Or his breath.


You throw away the outside and cook the inside. Then you eat the outside and throw away the inside. What did you eat?

Air is close. To be specific, it's breath. :)

Yup, or chicken. K Kitty, it's your turn.

So easy my kids could do it.

Can you name five days of the week without saying (or writing) Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday or Saturday?

Even easier. My husband could do this one. ;)

Count every " F" in the following sentence (What could be easier than that?):

Finished files are the result of years of scientific study combined with the experience of years.

There are three words in the English language that end in -GRY. Two are HUNGRY and ANGRY. The third one everyone uses every day and knows what it stands for.

6 f's... where's the news letter? :p

Not sure on the first one...

But there's seven?


And I counted 6 f's

6 f's... where's the news letter ?? :p

Not sure on the first one...

The news letter thingy was put there by accident. Do not count the f's in that. This is what you get when you copy and past. :o

Did you count the F's in the newsletter part?

This is the sentence;

Finished files are the result of years of scientific study combined with the experience of years.

Sorry about that all. I did edit it. :o

Sorry, I was off getting strokes from my buddy Vanheart. ;)

I'd say the days in Spanish. Is that cheating?

Lol aww sorry, I was just kidding...

Nope I didn't count those F's. Just the ones in the sentence.

There are three words in the English language that end in -GRY. Two are HUNGRY and ANGRY. The third one everyone uses every day and knows what it stands for.

Language?

You googled... you googled.:eek:

Sadly I've heard this one before, and it drove me nuts. There are a few answers to it. I'll give you one of them. :)

First, there are only two actual words in the English language ending in "gry". That part of the puzzle isn't important. The part that is, is this;

There are only three words in "the English language" what is the third word.

The answer is language. It's the third word in "The English Language"

Lol aww sorry, I was just kidding...

Nope I didn't count those F's. Just the ones in the sentence.

Well you're right. There are 6. Interesting fact though. Most people only count 4. For some reason the f's in of don't register for most people.

I give up with that one Alty.

That'a it.:cool:

Trust me, I'll never forget that one. When my friend first told us the riddle, he made us think about it for two days.

I even started going through the dictionary looking for another word ending in gry. ;)

When he finally told us, I was really mad.

We visit his grave often. After all, it's in my yard, just a hop skip and a jump. That'll teach him to mess with Alty. ;) :)

i give up with that one Alty.

Not a riddle, but in honor of our tired brains and the blondes, brunettes, and redheads on this board:

There's a blonde, a brunette, and a redhead and they found a magic mirror. The mirror told them that they it would grant each of them one wish.

So the brunette walks up to the mirror and says, "mirror mirror on the wall, I wish...I could fly." Immediately the brunette started to fly.

Then the redhead walks up to the mirror and says, "mirror mirror on the wall, I wish...I could sing beautifully." So the redhead started to sing.

Next the blonde walks up and says, "mirror mirror on the wall, I wish...I could...ummmm...oh crap!"

Lol!

Lol...

LMAO!

How's everyone's brain feeling today? Ready for another?

Well here it is. I'll start easy. :)

Yup nose is it. I guess thought coming from the brain.

Bu Heart like kit mentioned might fit too.

R said fart.

He doesn't know why. ;)

Arg, I was so close... but the 'symmetrical' and 'palindrome' are the same for me. Palindromic words have a line of symmetry along the middle letter or between the middle letters.

I made one, maybe it's got flaws though...

What flows but never drips
Can be seen but never heard
Defying time, it is said to remain/stay for many years?

The sun? But that wouldn't make sense with the first line...

That's not what I had in mind ^_^

Can I have a hint?

Um... right now, you see it, but don't do it... I know, it's difficult to explain without giving out the answer.

Ok, it can be a verb or a noun.

More?

Bah, I guess I'll just tell. I was thinking about 'writing'.

A piece of writing can flow in the sense that it's easy to read and the ideas fit well.
You see a writing, you don't hear it unless it is read aloud, but then, it's more of a speech.
We always say that words fly, but writing stay, or something similar right?

:o

That was a good one Unky, I would have never gotten it.

You have a goat, wolf, and cabbage that you need to get across the river. You can only have one thing with you on your boat at once. You cannot leave the wolf alone with the goat or it will eat it. You also cannot leave the goat alone with the lettuce or it will eat it. How do you get all three to the other side?

Send the wolf and the cabbage first?

Take the goat first. The wolf won't eat the cabbage.

Send the the wolf and the cabbage first?

You can only bring one with you at a time, and you have to come back to get the other things

Take the goat first. The wolf won't eat the cabbage.

Then what? You still have the cabbage and the wolf to bring over

Okay, put the wolf and cabbage in the boat, you swim behind with the goat on your back.

Solved. :)

LOL
Give up?

Take the goat, drop it off at a different river bank.

Come back, get the wolf, then go back again and get the cabbage.

Then you can go to the other river bank and get the goat.

Voilà.

Am I right this time?

Heyyyy that's what I said Alty! Oh never, mind no I didn't.

heyyyy that's what I said Alty!!

But you left the goat. I have the goat on my back. :)

I like my last one. I think that's it. :)

Lol. Yea I edited.

Maybe eat the cabbage and than take the wolf over?

Oh, another solution.

Take the goat across, then go back, pick up the wolf, drop off the wolf and on the return trip you bring the goat with you. Leave the goat, pick up the cabbage, take the cabbage across to the wolf, then go back and get the goat again.

That's got to be it!

Oh I got it. Take the goat across, and then come back and get the wolf. Drop the wolf off but bring the goat back. Drop the goat off on the other side and pick up the cabbage. Drop the cabbage off and go back for the goat once again

YESSS

I am so smart, smrt, smrt!

It's
1. take goat to other side and drop it off
2. go back for cabbage and swap it for the goat
3. take the goat back and swap it for the wolf
4. take the wolf over and leave it with the cabbage
5. go back and get the goat and take it to the other side

Oh, another solution.

Take the goat across, then go back, pick up the wolf, drop off the wolf and on the return trip you bring the goat with you. Leave the goat, pick up the cabbage, take the cabbage across to the wolf, then go back and get the goat again.

That's got to be it!


Crap.

YAY! You win, an invisible cabbage

Give us another Emop. That was fun. :)

I guess you'll have to post one Alty.

That one was from history class in 7th grade
Okay try this one (it's easy) but so neat

Cross out six letters

I guess you'll have to post one Alty.

Sorry, my internet went nuts!

Mine too!

Mine too!

Try the riddle?

Ohh jessh. My brain is hurting, but Im looking at it. Probably too hard, and can't see it.

You may just over thinking it, pay close attention to the instructions, "cross out six letters"

Crap, we posted at the same time.

Another Emop. :)

Stop stealing my brain waves Alty!

I think so too Bella. Where's alty? Alty do one like you did the other night. The paragraph with no E's.

imagine

yup =)

okay you are on an island and you come across two men standing there at a fork on the road. One road leads to death, the other leads to your plane out of here! One brother tells only lies, the other brother tells only the truth. You can ask one question to the both of them, what is the one question that will surely tell you which road to take

Will this road lead to death, to the one who can tell the truth? And than ask the liar if he was telling the truth. He will say no, which means that would be a lie.

You can only ask one question to both of them. And you don't know which one lies and which tells the truth

I think so too Bella. where's alty? Alty do one like you did the other night. The paragraph with no E's.


I think Cats has her trapped in his dungeon. Last I saw she was selling fire crackers to the kids down the block and Cats picked her up on a misdemeanor.

What did I just say? I don't know.

Ohh something simialr was on the Labrynth.

Point to one of the two ways and ask one brother "Would your brother say that this is the way to death". If he answers "Yes" it's the way to the planbe, if he says "No",than it's death.

Be back in a few minutes guys.

Okay, and I think you are right Bell, but I kind of forget

The brother who tells the truth... yeah

I'm here.

I had to do my frontier on FB. I'm addicted.

What we doing now?

A plane crashes on the border of canada and the us, where do we bury the survivors?

That was a good one Kity, I hadn't even thought of that!

You don't bury survivors;)

Yay!

I told that one to my friend, he stood there confused

Okay, I have 35 cents, two coins make up my 35 cents.

One of them is NOT a quarter. What two coins do I have?

A quarter and a dime.

Only one of them is not a quarter, the other one is. :)

I quit.

Jack, Jil, John, Jose, and Andy are in a race.

if Andy overtakes Jil, the person in last place, what place is he in?

I quit.

Aww why?

4th.

You sillies! How can someone overtake last place?

Aww why?

It's after 3am for her. That's probably why. :)

It's after 3am for her. That's probably why. :)

Night guys sweet dreams.

Ah, it's 2:13 here, and I get up in an hour. Teehee

Night night

you sillies! how can someone overtake last place?

Oi!

That was bad!

You got me. :)

Teehee I'm a bad one!

I should hit the sack too.

Night Emop. It was fun. :)

Nighty night

Nice ones Emop, enjoyed all of them :)

I go up, but at the same time go down.
Up towards the sky, down towards the ground.
I'm past tense and present tense too,
Come for a ride, just me and you.

Spread? Set?

Nope. Look at the clues again and think of something that applies to all four.

We need more math ones. I solved the 4 gallon one quickly. And I can't believe it took so long for everyone to do the goat. (There's a gazillion versions of that out there.) And I already knew about the missing E's. And kitkat's aren't fair. (The forehead one needs done vocally, not in writing.)

Did anyone ever solve the rope/horse one? Oh yeah, they did, OK. But no one ever solved the wood one.

And some of these are very, very old. I think some of you must be too young. :-)

Unless Unky's still up, am I the only one who has the opportunity to think about this last one?

Oh wait, Unky's on the other side of the world. It's not the middle of the night there.

Well, I can't find a word which matches all of the 4 conditions :( or my english vocabulary is too low...

I just learned two weeks ago that English is the language among all the existing languages that contains the greatest number of words (nearly a million I think now, or something like that)

We need more math ones.

I thought this was kind of interesting:

What row of numbers comes next in this series?


1
11
21
1211
111221
312211
13112221

I know this one! I've done this one. Should I tell?

I know this one! I've done this one. Should I tell?

No - let's see if someone else can get it.

I know the answer to Hexxie's riddle but I don't want to spoil it for someone else.

Does it involve the Fibonacci series?

does it involve the Fibonacci series?

I had to look that up to see what it was. No, I don't believe it does.

I guess I asked for it wanting more math ones. But I'm terrible at sequences. :rolleyes:

Space occurred to me, except that doesn't fit the present & past tense thing, even if it's also a verb.

A hint for the sequence. Read it aloud ;)

And there is no Fibonacci in this.

Smoke? Hint!

Nothing I was trying, mathematically, was working. Then last night my daughter was counting out her dolls in a way that had not occurred to me.

Is the next number:

1113213211?
