we need to think of a material where its property is only liquid or solid.

the only one i know is glass.

or am i thinking too inside the box?

I kinda think about it from a different angle :

I can turn into a liquid or solid ONLY

you can turn INTO a liquid from a gas, so it could mean the "item" is in a gaseous state and you can either get a liquid or a solid from it?

I have a feeling that the use of 'ONLY' has some double meaning in this riddle :/

Oh and thanks for that Dill xxx

i guess thats just about every gas there is then. but the conditions in these places arnt suitable to transform any i know of.

I don't want to fuel a pointless argument but..

By turning FROM a gas into a liquid/solid suggests that the reverse is also possible.

Plus there are plenty of elements which can exist as a liquid/solid but not as a gas (in the true sense of the word gas).

I think someone had it right earlier thought. Liquid = Ocean and Solid = Land Mass

I think the answer is something more metaphorical, I was thinking along the lines of "time", as in "moves twice a year" (daylight savings), but it wont fit any of the other stuff.

Gotta be something abstract.

been thinking about this while i was finishing up some no-brainer homework just now:

I live in the ocean, desert and forest ONLY
I move twice a year ONLY
ONLY the sun can kill me
I can turn into a liquid or solid ONLY
If a human touches me they are killed instantly
Im Blue.

what about.... moondogs!?

iirc cant they only happen under certain (temperate) conditions? thus fulfilling the "only happens in places with ocean desert and forest" ? because temperate places will be forest ocean or desert, not tundra/artic etc.

"I move twice a year ONLY" - would guess that there would be some way to explain away this part, due to shifting seasons etc.

"ONLY the sun can kill me" - as it requires moonlight as opposed to sunlight?

"I can turn into a liquid or solid ONLY" - moondogs require ice crystals to occur, therefore they could be said to be liquid or solid only?

"If a human touches me they are killed instantly" - hmm, not so sure about this one, but its the only place where the logic falls down :( might not be right, but then again perhaps it could be?

Just something to think about, maybe some sort of light phenomenon? :eek: started off thinking about "blue moon" - but that technically only happens once every two years, and probably doesnt require ocean/desert/forest conditions.

Interesting riddle! :)

I think ONLY doesn't mean only, it is an acronym. If we could work out what for we'd probably solve it.

Why would you even post that? You have actively taken the time out of your day to post something completely moronic.

It's not even contextual. It's just ignorant stupidity.

Moo is on a flaming mission today, or perhaps he/she is genuinely a fuckwit. Or both.

This riddle is actually a highly encrypted secret message, Tom is currently being held by MI5 and being anally probed by John Reid for beaching the official secrets act.

That or he's fucked off somewhere for a few days.

That or he doesn't know the answer and is waiting for someone on some other website to answer it before he pastes it here acting all clever and stuff.

The answer is Chuck Norris.

He can live in any environment.
He can turn into a gas or liquid as he has absolute control over his body. Want to see a gas roundhouse kick you, well Chuck Norris can.
He can kill anyone he touches with a roundhouse kick.
He can move twice if he wants to.
He can be blue and I wouldnt want to argue the point with him.

The only problem I have is that the sun cant possibly kill him, hes invincible.
