The riddle thread! (Page 2)

What do cows listen to?

Now, for a very hard one-Of which concept shared by Jungian psychology and Northrop Frye's literary theory are pirates especially fond?

ARRRchetype.

What's a pirate's favorite alliance-creating diplomatic agreement from the Second World War?(you people should know this one)

You and Archer, or whoever else is reading this.

Do you give up?

I give up..i didnt even understand the question

The TripARRRtite Pact.

Booo, enuff with the pirate stuff.

What force and strenght cannot get through,
I with a gentle touch can do.
Many in the streets would stand
were I not a friend in hand.
What am I?

the train

"WHY did he said FOUR—"

...The collision could've ruined the train, or the mama elephant was pregnant.
...Or maybe he isn't very good at counting...he's just a baby, after all...

"What force and strenght cannot get through,
I with a gentle touch can do.
Many in the streets would stand
were I not a friend in hand.
What am I?"

Key.

yep A Key

What three numbers have the same answer when added together and multiplied together?

"answer = he isn't very good at counting...he's just a baby, after all"

😛 I totally guessed that one.

Since no one could solve that-
"What do cows listen to? "

The answer is-MOOsic.

Well, zero is one of them.

A long, long time ago, two Egyptian camel drivers were fighting for the hand of the daughter of the sheik of Abbudzjabbu. The sheik, who liked neither of these men to become the future husband of his daughter, came up with a clever plan: a race would determine who of the two men would be allowed to marry his daughter. And so the sheik organized a camel race. Both camel drivers had to travel from Cairo to Abbudzjabbu, and the one whose camel would arrive last in Abbudzjabbu, would be allowed to marry the sheik's daughter.
The two camel drivers, realizing that this could become a rather lengthy expedition, finally decided to consult the Wise Man of their village. Arrived there, they explained him the situation, upon which the Wise Man raised his cane and spoke four wise words. Relieved, the two camel drivers left his tent: they were ready for the contest!
Which 4 wise words did the Wise Man speak?

"a little crown appers on the head of Yama...
(the magical crown is timed at 6.7 seconds)..."

I have no Idea what you just said.😛

Either way, you're correct.😛

I didn't even realize it was a riddle.😛

I know! appers=appears!

Hey and I thought I was a bit backward fichuring out these riddles 🙂

I'm gonna see if I can find this riddle that I did a while ago that was a logic test but it was really quite tricky.....

Ok I found it. This took me ages to do when I did it over a year ago. I've forgotten the solution process at this stage but it's a nice meaty puzzle that keeps you intrigued and exasperated for a few hours! Here it is:

Who owns the Zebra?

The following puzzle is a fine example of what I call ?detective puzzles:? Based on clues supplied in a narrative, one is to answer a question by applying simple, man-on-the-street logic to the information (not all of it relevant) supplied.

On an odd little street in the town of Somewhere, there are five house in a row. Each house is a different colour, each is inhabited by a woman of different nationality, and the owner of the houses also have their differences: each owner has a different pet, prefers a different drink and works in a different profession. A detective, charged with the task of discovering who drinks water and who owns the Zebra, gathered the following information, itemized for your convenience:

1. The Englishwoman lives in the red house.
2. The Spaniard owns a dog.
3. Coffee is drunk in the green house
4. The Ukrainian drinks tea.
5. The green house is immediately to the right of the Ivory house.
6. The engineer owns the snail.
7. The diplomat lives in the yellow house.
8. Milk is drunk in the middle house.
9. The Norwegian lives in the first house on the left.
10. The doctor lives next to the owner of the fox.
11. The diplomat lives next to the owner of the horse.
12. The teacher drinks orange juice.
13. The carpenter is Japanese.
14. The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.

Yes this is a test of logic not smarty-pants-ness

Ok then for clarification purposes for those who are overly endowed with logic:
Please regard tea, coffee, water, milk and orange juice as all drinks in their own right notwithstanding the fact that some of these beverages may indeed contain water as part of their make up (don't we all...). Umkay?

keep trying. They've given enough information believe it or not!

Clearly, the Norwegian woman drinks water and the Japanese woman owns the zebra.

House Colour Nation Pet Drink Profession

1 yellow Norway fox water diplomat
2 blue Ukraine horse tea doctor
3 red England snail milk engineer
4 ivory Spain dog o. j. teacher
5 green Japan zebra coffee carpenter

The King & the Coin-operated Weighing Machine
Once upon a time (or slightly thereafter) there lived a mean and miserly king who collected ten bars of silver in taxes from each of his ten duchies every year. Each bar weighed one pound. One year the tax collector arrived with the ten boxes of bars, as usual, each labeled with the name of the duke who sent it. This time, however, the tax collector looked worried.

"What troubles you, my good man?"

"Alas, Sire. I suspect one of thy dukes hath shortchanged thee, filching an ounce of silver from each bar."

"And who might that be?" roared the king.

"It is none other than Duke . . . " The tax collector fell dead, a knife thrown by an unseen hand quivering in his back. (The assassin was never found, obviously, otherwise this puzzle would be dead in the water.)

Although the king had no regular balance at his disposal, he had a coin-operated weighing machine, the ancient kind that told both your weight and your fortune when you put a penny in it. Unfortunately, he had only one penny left. How did he determine the guilty Duke?

"How did he determine the guilty Duke? "

They questioned the dukes using a polygraph, d'uh.😛

"And his fortune says to kill all the Dukes to make a point...."

I'm guessing his fortune tells him to stop spending so much money, when a bloody king has only one penny, you know he has some issues.

WRONG people...

Hint: theres a little number crunching involved...not guessing.

No timer Bling.

'hhmmmm....take 1 from box one,2 from box 2,etc,etc....
if the scales show that the box is 9 ounces down then it's box 9,or if it was box 3 it would be 3 ounces down,am I right—'

Continue...

What would you like to win?

Go on...

The total weight should be 55lbs, but _________

Continue and the moon on a stick will be coming right up.

LOL Bling...its not Daisy

Well you have the right concept but the wrong box and the name doesnt matter, the box is what counts.

*rethinks the moon on the stick offer*

CORRECT

ANSWER
The king arranged the boxes in a row, then took one bar from the first box, two from the second, three from the third, and so on. If none of the dukes had cheated, the total weight of coins on the scale would have been 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10 = 55 lbs. Instead, he found the scales registering 54 lbs and 12 oz, which meant that 4 ounces were missing. They could only have come from box number 4, sent by the Duke of . . . arghh!

LOL

As you wish

Is that the moononastick your refering to? 😉

Heres another...
The more of them you take, the more of them you leave behind. What are they?

I figured you'd do that eventually. You can keep the prize if you want, I dont need a stick in my moon 😉.

LMAO...the moon is in the sky....u perv

Answer the new one, its much easier.

"The more of them you take, the more of them you leave behind. What are they?"

Seconds/Minutes?

units of ex-lax

photos

Nope

well, if it's not photos or units of ex-lax, i'm fresh out of ideas.

Dumps?

Nope Yama.

Keep trying Wheels.

"Keep trying Wheels."

Are you subtly suggesting I should give up?😛

LOL no Yama, i know you wouldnt do that....would you?

"LOL no Yama, i know you wouldnt do that....would you?"

...Depends, what's the prize this time?

LOL...no more prizes...what would you like?

uuuuuuhhhhhhh....
