Games The riddle thread!

[Access Denied]

So here are the rules. I'll post a riddle and the first person to answer it correctly has to then post a riddle of their own. Capisch? Here goes...

I tolerate the Moon and stars.
I can't abide the Sun.
Banish me with torchlight;
And you'll see me turn and run.

What am i?

 

[Thorwyn]

Shadow

 

[gohan]

darkness

 

[- English -]

was thinking a vampir, but perhaps gohan is right ;p

 

[Access Denied]

gohan is indeed right. Your turn!

 

[Uara]

Such a hard game, Gohan replying with a Intelligent answer gave it away.

My vampiir could take the sun

If you don't want to contribute you can fuck off gimmley

 

[Lethul]

Since Gohan is afk!

And no googling!

There are 2 guards. One tells the truth and one lies. There are also 2 doors. One leads to Heaven and the other leads to the devils playground. One guard is in front of each door. You can only ask the guards ONE question and you have to ask the same question to both guards. What you are trying to find out is which door leads to Heaven and which door leads to the devil's playground. What should that question be!?

 

[Vae]

"One of us always tells the truth and one of us always lies"

Ask one guard if the other guard will say that this door leads to heaven. The answer will always be a lie so you can work out which door is which!

I have no riddle for you though

Have to wait for Gohan.

 

[Chilly]

Are you lying? Watch one of them dissapear in a puff of logic and walk on

On a more serious note:

You can tell which one is a liar by asking "point to the door you are guarding", but then you need to ask anothe question to get the rest of the information. Hmmm.

Lethul chosing the worst and oldest 'riddle' on the internet, pld!

[gohan]

sorry guys been watching a bones marathon from season 1 xD


2 fathers and 2 sons go hunting, they each shoot a rabit and take it home for thier partners to skin and cook, when they bring the rabits out for dinner there are only 3


why?

 

[old.Tohtori]

Grandfather, father and son go hunting?

 

[pcg79]

grandpa

 

[Gwadien]

Because they're rabits not rabbits, rabits are undead versions, so one of them sneaked off teh barbie whilst they were cookin'?

 

[gohan]

pfft toht you could of at least pretended it was hard :<

It wasn't as easy as it might seem, i had to use a brain for it

Ok, here's one;

If you want to drink milk, what kind of a glass should you choose?

 

[gohan]

that's surely not a riddle cos there's so many answers that are all true, a riddle has to cut out answers


i could just say a wine glass, and that would be right.......

 

[old.Tohtori]

The first question had multiple answers too, but only one fits

 

[gohan]

The first question had multiple answers too, but only one fits

no cos the sentance structure kills off certain answers, like a vampire doesn't give a fuck about a torch, and shadows need the sun (or some light source) rather than hide from it


whereas with yours i can say pint glass, wine glass or if i want stained glass and none of them have been cut out by any thing you've said in the riddle


it sounds more like the set up for a groan joke

 

[old.Tohtori]

Well excuuuuse me princess, didn't know we had some kind of high tech rules section in this and in my stupidity thought to have some fun. Gees.

And since you'e getting all uppity about it;

"A riddle is a statement or question or phrase having a double or veiled meaning, put forth as a puzzle to be solved. Riddles are of two types: enigmas, which are problems generally expressed in metaphorical or allegorical language that require ingenuity and careful thinking for their solution, and conundrums, which are questions relying for their effects on punning in either the question or the answer."

i'm just stating fact! how you interpret that is down to you

your riddle fails


edit: yours is still niether

 

[Cerb]

One with milk in it?

Hard to answer from the wording.

 

[old.Tohtori]

That's the one, now gohan can rage about it and you can make a "proper" riddle

 

[gohan]

not raging, it was just poorly worded, and shit

 

[GimmlyThe3rd]
