I always run, but never walk,
Often murmer, but never talk,
Have a bed, but do not sleep,
Have a mouth, but never eat.
What am I?

A river

Too easy for you.

Ok, how about this one:

You hear me before, yet you hear me again, then I die. Until ypu call me again.

An echo

Ok. One more:

I cannot be seen and I weigh nothing, but when put into a barrel, I make it lighter.

Four cups of coffee...


A hole

These are way too easy for you.

Yeah, guess they are.

Here's one

Two in a corner,
1 in a room,
0 in a house, but 1 in a shelter. What am I?

I need to come up with a difficult one for you, yet I am now tired. All right, I'll give it one more shot:

A king sits at a table with three glasses in front of him. Two of the glasses are full: one with rum and one with ale. What is the king's name?

Here's one

Two in a corner,
1 in a room,
0 in a house, but 1 in a shelter. What am I?

The letter R?

Yes.

I'll have to think about your last one.

Here's a toughy

This is a most unusual paragraph. 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? Study it, think about it, and you may find out. Try to do it without coaching. If you work at it for a bit it will dawn on you. So jump to it and try your skill at figuring it out. Good luck - don't blow your cool!

Ok, OK. Gimme, gimme.. . please:D

It's really tricky.

I'll give you mine if you give me yours.

Yours first.

You mean you want the answer?

Should read (punctuation):

This is a most unusual paragraph:

Has nothing to do with punctuation.

All right, but where is the paragragh?

Right here...

I think I just fiqured it out, about the paragragh I mean. Is the above the paragragh. LOL! I must be tired!

Well, what's the answer?

What does it say inside the triangle?

http://www.businessballs.com/images/paris_spring_puzzle.jpg

I got it!

There are no "E"s in it. Right?

Put me out of my misery so I can go to bed.

"This" is a word not a paragraph.

Oh my. I think no "E"'s is right.

I got it!

There are no "E"s in it. Right?

Good job. That's it!! :D:D

Now get some sleep!

What does it say inside the triangle?

http://www.businessballs.com/images/paris_spring_puzzle.jpg

Paris into the spring?

No!

"This" is a word not a paragraph.

Ok, I missed this post. A word.. . Hmm.. .

Try again for what's in the triangle.

I'm thinking.. .

Words?

What words?

All right, you win.:)

I'm tired and need to go to bed. So, what is the answer?

Go to bed. Wake up fresh. Try again.

Owww.. . All right.

Goodnight.

And KISS, thanks for playing.:D

Goodnight Hexxie, I'm unsubscribing now. Have a good sleep.

Oh my! See what late night combined with a glass of wine does to me? (lol)

Forgive me J_9, I forgot to thank you too. :o Not sure you'll get this, but wanted to put it out there anyway.

KISS,

The words inside the triangle are:
"Paris in the the spring"

This is one of those brain tests, isn't it? I thought it was one of those play on words. You know, like:

Wear
_______
Black


(black underwear)

Is that it?

Anyone want to give this one a go?

A king sits at a table with three glasses in front of him. Two of the glasses are full; one with rum and one with ale. What is the king's name?

Your good. But where you got the first guess I'll never know.

You make me laugh!

I was thinking there were 2 "the"s, so, Paris in to the spring.

Or maybe it was just the wine.

All right, obviously I was effected by the wine.

I've decided the king's name is Henry. :p

The first ones were fairly easy, yes. Although the river stumped me for a minute. And the thing about the R's just flew over my head.

There are 2 letter Rs in the word corner, 1 letter R in the word room, none in house and 1 in shelter.

As for the king's name being Henry, think along these lines: Henry the eighth (King names with numbers).

No, I get the R's now. I mean when I read it, that went over my head.

Richard the III?

Ive got one

First think of the person who lives in disguise,
Who deals in secrets and tells naught but lies
Next, tell me what's always the last thing to mend,
The middle of middle and end of the end?
And finally give me the sound often heard
During the search of a hard-to-find word.
Now string them together, and answer me this,
What creature would you be unwilling to kiss?"

And finally give me the sound often heard
During the search of a hard-to-find word.


Sh*t?

Sorry. :D

HAHA nice try but no

Actually, I've figured out part of it and am still lost on one part. Unfortunately it's the beginning I'm missing which makes it harder to just start guessing words.

What have you got for the last parts?

Oh, the last part might be wrong - I just thought of another choice which more logical should make the end of a word.

Spider!

Two men have the following conversation.

John: Hi Matt. How are your three kids? I forgot what their ages are.

Matt: Hi John. Don't you remember? The product of their ages is 36.

John: I still don't remember.

Matt: The sum of their ages is the same as my house number.

John: I still can't remember!

Matt: The oldest one has red hair.

John: Ah, right. I remember now!

How old are Matt's kids?

No, I get the R's now. I mean when I read it, that went over my head.

Richard the III?

Not Richard, but you are getting closer. (the III is correct)

[QUOTE=morgaine300;2465756]

[QUOTE]

I'm stuck at this part. :confused:

The letter r!

Pronounced as one letter,
But written with three,
Two letters there are and only two in me,
I'm double, I'm single, I'm black, blue, and gray,
I'm read from both ends and the same either way.

An eye!

an eye !!

Yes.

Not Richard, but you are getting closer. (the III is correct)

Was there a Henry III? Well, of course there was if there was a Henry VIII. But I don't know anything about him.

The problem is that I really don't get the riddle. I don't even remember what you said that made me think of Henry. But there isn't anything in the riddle that's giving away to me who it would be.

It might help to know why you're stuck. Are you not getting how you could know what would be his house number? Cause you wouldn't and you don't need to.

What you have to think about is that he knows his house number but still doesn't know the ages of the sons.

Here's what I have so far:

36+1+1=38
18+2+1=21
12+3+1=16
9+4+1=14
9+2+2=13
6+6+1=13
6+3+2=11
4+3+3=10

A king sits at a table with three glasses in front of him. Two of the glasses are full; one with rum and one with ale. What is the king's name?

This riddle is a conundrum.

Wow, I had to look up the word conumdrum. The meaning I know is that it doesn't have a definitive answer, like my albatross puzzle. But I see it also says a play on words. I guess this is a play on words.

It did occur to me that the third glass was actually a pair of glasses like you sit on your face, or even a monicle. But you said the III was right, which could be the 3 glasses.

Does this require any actual knowledge of kings? Otherwise I think this has just gone over my head.

According to Webster's Dictionary, one of the meanings of
"conundrum" is a riddle who's answer is a pun.

And no, no actual knowledge of kings needed.

Would you like the answer now?

Paris in the Spring

Edit:
Never mind didn't know there was a second page to this thread. Disregard

36+1+1=38
18+2+1=21
12+3+1=16

Morgaine,

Help me! Where do I go from here?

OK, the man has concluded from the first statement what the possible combinations of numbers were, as you did. Then with the second statement, he figures the additions with those numbers as you have. He obviously knows his own house number, right? If he knows his own house number, what reason is in there that he still doesn't know the answer?

Oh, shoot! Duh.:p

The ages are 9,2, and 2.

That one stumped me. I think I blew a gasket figuiring it out. Got stuck at that one point and just couldn't see past it.

I did get it didn't I? (Please say yes, even if I'm wrong.. . I can't keep going with it -lol).

You're correct. And no I'm not lying to make you feel better. (I hope you didn't end up in the ER with that there gasket thingy.)

You're correct. And no I'm not lying to make you feel better. (I hope you didn't end up in the ER with that there gasket thingy.)

Thanks for the well wishes, feeling much better now. You know how sometimes you just get hung up on something and can't see past it? I just couldn't see the forest. ;)

Thanks for getting me through it.

Looks like this thread has pretty well pooped out, but I've got lots more if anyone gets back in the mood one of these days. Just give a shout.

I need to come up with a difficult one for you, yet I am now tired. Alright, I'll give it one more shot:

A king sits at a table with three glasses in front of him. Two of the glasses are full: one with rum and one with ale. What is the king's name?

For Morgaine:

Phillip the III

I don't get it. Which is probably why I couldn't solve it.

Never mind. My brother had to explain it to me. But he heard it verbally. I just glanced at it and never really "read it" to myself.

OK, here's one for the language lovers:

There is a common English word that is nine letters long. Each time you remove a letter from it, it still remains an English word - from nine letters right down to a single letter. What is the original word, and what are the words that it becomes after removing one letter at a time?

Whoever gets this wins one free year of AMHD membership. :p

And since that's a tough one, I'll also throw in a couple of easy ones:

What's bigger than the universe, greater than God, more evil than the devil. The poor have it and the rich want it. The dead eat it but if you do, you will surely die.

If you break me
I do not stop working,
If you touch me
I may be snared,
If you lose me
Nothing will matter.

I think I know the answer, and it's so appropriate for AMHD.

A heart

A heat for the second one J-Lo?

I know the first one, but I will let somebody else have a go.

Heart is correct for the second one.

OK OK, the answer for the first one is Nothing.

Correct.

Three more easy ones:

Until I am measured
I am not known,
Yet how you miss me
When I have flown.



You heard me before,
Yet you hear me again,
Then I die,
'Till you call me again



Johnny's mother had three children. The first child was named April. The second child was named May. What was the third child's name?

And harder one:

Three antique clocks were put up for auction, the first lost one minute every 24 hours; the second lost one minute every hour; and the third didn't work at all. Which clock would you buy if you chose the one that showed the correct time the most often?

For the harder one, my guess would be the one that didn't work at all because it is at least right 2 times a day no matter what. Where the other ones would always be wrong.

Hmmm... Johnny's mom's 3rd child's name... Hmmm... Kind of tricky... Hmmm... Oh, I know... Roger? Or maybe it is this one: Johnny

For the harder one, my guess would be the one that didn't work at all because it is atleast right 2 times a day no matter what. Where the other ones would always be wrong.

The other ones aren't always wrong. And you are correct that the one that doesn't work is right 2 times a day. (Not "at least" but exactly.)

Hmmm... Johnny's mom's 3rd childs name....Hmmm....Kind of tricky...Hmmm....Oh, I know....Roger? Or maybe it is this one: Johnny

Yeah, that one's a bit on the silly side. There's way more where that came from but I haven't had time to go through them. I'm trying to hunt down harder ones.
