The egg came before birds ever existed. The first egg that was laid on land was from the reptiles, so it is highly probable that the egg came first and through evolution one reptile egg started getting a feather or two. This process of evolution may have took millions of years for the reptile to even gain the structure of a bird. Some say birds are 0.000001% related to the pterodactyl which is the first flying reptile.

Summary: Though it is not a fact, it is highly suggested that the egg came before the chicken.

Sorry for nerding it up ;P

Really, it all comes down to if you believe in evolution, or if you religion says a god created the animals.

I think he was talking about chicken eggs, not eggs in general.

What I meant is that reptile eggs evolved to become chicken eggs, so eggs came before the chicken.

You wake up in a room, there are no windows nor doors. The room was built around you. The floors, walls, and ceiling are made of concrete. There's a table in front of you, and you have a saw. How do you escape the room?

I remember this riddle from last year, not sure where it's from, but we used to tell a lot of riddles in study hall. Whenever I ask someone this riddle, they can't answer. It's a pretty easy riddle, though.

Actually, you don't have a saw; you have a mirror. Your variation is missing a step.

Yeah, that's it, Ernie. Got confused with the saw and mirror. Dunno what step I'm missing, though.

Something along the lines of "You look into the mirror and take what you saw", then you can move on with the answer you were thinking of before.

Saehrimnir? Probably not what you were thinking of, but still. :P

A person walks along a path, there are two paths and two doors, one door leads to hell, one leads to heaven, and one guy is a liar and the other a truth teller. You can only ask one question.


Are we assuming the liars door is the one we don't want to go through? If so there are a number of ways to determine which is the liar.

what came first the chicken or the egg.... is that a riddle... i dunno but still


Since this doesn't specify it being a chicken egg than it was the egg that came first.

Why is a raven and a writing desk alike?


Technically it was intended to just be nothing more than a joke, but there have been several answers.

"It's nevar put with the wrong end front."
"Because they both come with inky quills"
"Because Poe wrote on both"

Just to name a few.

No, you don't want to go to hell. Care to share a few of your solutions?
