HI PPLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ok all you have to do is create a riddle and try to solve the one before you. it'll be fun! i'll start...... when you pull me, you enter. when you push me, you leave. I am the boundary between old and new places. i go to the right, i go up down left, and sometimes split in half! what am i?
Their the hands of a clock. I've seen it before. Oldest is a hour, middle is a minute, and of course, youngest a second(sec.).
That was an interesting riddle... I'll be sure to remember it.
Your in an apartment. The power is out and there are no windows or any type of exits from the apartment. You go down a hallway and see someone standing beside two doors.
"Through one door," he says "There is a pool of sharks. Through the other door, there is an electric chair. If you go through the door with the sharks, I'll push you in. If you go through the door with the chair, ill strap you in."
You know the exit must be through on of those doors.
Which one do you take and why?
Another riddle to have been posted here in the past... where did I put that painkiller...
Anyway, nice work with that seagull riddle! Although I have to say its cruelty appalled me.
It could've been easier if we knew that he had 2 brothers and was stranded.
You could've asked in specific .
So, I got one I didn't really like (and which could have one or more alternatives, which I will not accept, however). Where have all the good riddles gone...
Sergi and Sally where sitting in their family room one night. While Sergi was watching T.V, his wife Sally was reading. All of a sudden the power went out and Sergi decided to go to bed, but Sally kept on reading. With no use of artificial light, Sally kept on reading. How?

Well... The power had to go out for some reason. Maybe she read by the light of lightning! :P
I should've known that would've been your guess! But no, wouldn't it not last long enough?
Sally was a cat?
Which would give her a sort of 'night vision', right? Good idea, but still, Sally was reading a book and she understood it. And it wasn't written in Cat.
Sally was blind, so she didn't need light to read braille!
Exactly.
I have a couple of 'nice' riddles, but I have to go right now. Don't worry, you'll have them soon enough!
1. Two mothers and two daughters go shopping. They have $21, which they split equally between them. How can this be possible? (No, they didn't get $5.25 each... there are no decimals.)
2. This one's for the math nerds such as me: Sabrina gave Samantha as many dollars as Samantha started out with. Samantha then gave Sabrina back as much as Sabrina had left. Sabrina then gave Samantha as back as many dollars as Samantha had left, which left Sabrina broke and gave Samantha a total of $80.00. How much did Sabrina and Samantha have at the beginning of their exchange?
3. I can be long, or I can be short. I can be grown, and I can be bought. I can be painted, or left bare. I can be round, or square. What am I?
4. Debbie promised to take her daughter Becky shopping on the day before the fourth day after the day after tomorrow. If today is Sunday the 3rd, on what day and date will Becky take Debbie shopping?
5. There were three mandarins. They were to wear a beret each and stand in a line, in a way that the one in the end could see what colour the berets the other two wore were, while the one in the front could see none of the berets' colours. None of the mandarins knew what colour their own berets were, because they put them on blindfold. What they did know was that, although only three berets were on their heads, out of the whole five the three were black, while the two were red. When the mandarin in the back was asked what colour he thought his beret was, he said he couldn't know. The mandarin in the middle answered the same. The first one, however, knew with certainty what his beret's colour was, and guessed it correctly. What colour was it?
I got a nice riddle I made up myself. It's a funny story, like 30 minutes ago, I just said: Make a riddle, to myself. I started a random sentence and this is what I got. It's probably not that good
It's 1923. A well dressed man walks into a bar. He orders a drink. Suddenly, police cars surround the building. Several men are pulled out in handcuffs. What happened?
The prohibition. That wasn't really a riddle, it was more of a history question, and not a very hard one either seeing as how I knew about it without even being American.
4. Debbie promised to take her daughter Becky shopping on the day before the fourth day after the day after tomorrow. If today is Sunday the 3rd, on what day and date will Becky take Debbie shopping?
Never. Debbie will take Becky shopping, not the other way around. See, thaboss, it wasn't a math question.
That wasn't really a riddle, it was more of a history question, and not a very hard one either seeing as how I knew about it without even being American.
Hey, I made it up in like 5 minutes, give me a break.
1. Two mothers and two daughters go shopping. They have $21, which they split equally between them. How can this be possible? (No, they didn't get $5.25 each... there are no decimals.)
Does it have to do with the use of the word "between" (two people) instead of "among" (three or more people)? Did they all buy something together (thus, sharing the $21)?
2. This one's for the math nerds such as me: Sabrina gave Samantha as many dollars as Samantha started out with. Samantha then gave Sabrina back as much as Sabrina had left. Sabrina then gave Samantha as back as many dollars as Samantha had left, which left Sabrina broke and gave Samantha a total of $80.00. How much did Sabrina and Samantha have at the beginning of their exchange?
OOOH! I love math! Here, let's change it into variables. Samantha = x Sabrina = y 1. x y 2. 2x y-x [Sabrina gives Samantha as much as Samantha started with] 3. 3x-y 2y-2x [Samantha gives Sabrina as much as Sabrina had left] 3. 6x-2y 3y-5x [Sabrina gives Samantha as much as Samantha has left]
Therefore, -5x+3y=0 6x-2y=80
Great, some elimination... -10x+6y=0 +(18x-6y=240) -------------------- 8x=240 and x=30
Which means, x=30 [Samantha] y=50 [Sabrina]
Let me check it quick... YES! My variables actually worked!
So, Samantha started with $30, and Sabrina started with $50.
3. I can be long, or I can be short. I can be grown, and I can be bought. I can be painted, or left bare. I can be round, or square. What am I?
...meh. I truly have no idea.
4. Debbie promised to take her daughter Becky shopping on the day before the fourth day after the day after tomorrow. If today is Sunday the 3rd, on what day and date will Becky take Debbie shopping?
Debbie promised to take Becky shopping; nothing was ever said about the time when Becky would take Debbie.
5. There were three mandarins. They were to wear a beret each and stand in a line, in a way that the one in the end could see what colour the berets the other two wore were, while the one in the front could see none of the berets' colours. None of the mandarins knew what colour their own berets were, because they put them on blindfold.

When the mandarin in the back was asked what colour he thought his beret was, he said he couldn't know. The mandarin in the middle answered the same. The first one, however, knew with certainty what his beret's colour was, and guessed it correctly. What colour was it?
Okay. For the third mandarin not to know, the first and second must have either both black or one red and one black berets. The second mandarin must have deduced this. Knowing those two combinations, if the first mandarin's beret was red, he would have surely known that his must be black. But he's not sure. So the first mandarin's beret must be black. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Great riddles!
Knowing those two combinations, if the first mandarin's beret was red, he would have surely known that his must be black. But he's not sure. So the first mandarin's beret must be black.
Oh. That was a bit obscure. I should have said
Knowing those two combinations, if the first mandarin's beret was red, the second mandarin would have surely known that his must be black. But the second mandarin is not sure. So the first mandarin's beret must be black.
Alright, ignore my riddle. It's not as if I care. *sniff* W-what? I'm not crying! What makes you think I'm c-crying? *wimper* I.. I just have something in my eye, that's all. Nothing more!
