Post all your riddles in here, i love them.
Here is one i [surprisingly] didn't get. It's pretty easy though so only the dim ones won't get it.
Picture a square. Each with 4 sides, as they do. All the sides are the same length. A man walks around the square and it takes him 1 hour and 20 minutes to walk down each side except for one which took him 80 minutes. Why did it take him 1 hour and 20 mins to walk the other 3 but only 80 minutes for the other one?
He walks at the same speed, he doesn't magically develop wings nor does he get on a bus etc, etc.
(this one isn't as good to explain in writing, better when you draw it)

Because 80 minutes is the same as 1 hour and 20 minutes?

A man. It's greek saying or something. Oedipus I think. A man crawls as a baby, walks as a man and walks with a stick when old. The morning, noon and evening are metaphors for ages.

Yes its the Riddle of the Sphinx
In Greek mythology, the Sphinx sat outside of Thebes and asked this riddle of all travelers who passed by. If the traveler failed to solve the riddle, then the Sphinx killed him/her. And if the traveler answered the riddle correctly, then the Sphinx would destroy herself.
Oedipus solved the riddle, and the Sphinx destroyed herself.
I studied this at school...... very inserting play actually. Its where Freud got his Oedipus theory

Don't know if you've this one but...
A woman shoots her husband.
Then she holds him under water for over 5 minutes.
Finally, she hangs him.
But 5 minutes later they both go out together and enjoy a wonderful dinner together.
How can this be?

Because she photoshoots him? As in.. takes a picture. Then takes it to the developing room, holds the picture under water and hangs it. :laugh:
Then they go for dinner.
I'm probably talking rubbish though... but it was worth a go!

Big Bad Wolf is excellent. Generally I prefer the Alex Cross ones, but the others are also good. I'm a bit of a JP anorak to be honest.. He's the only author who I can say I've read all of. I read others, but I'm not quite as obsessed with the others.. I'm pretty obsessed with JP books!

The apples fell off? :conf: Lmao. My answers are so ditzy.
Maybeeee... cos he was blind he didn't know there was a tree with apples on, so he didn't take them off, but he didn't leave them on - cos he didn't know they were on?
Pmsl. Fine, I'm silly.
EDIT: And he didn't view the skies?

i forgot to add before this website Click Here (http://www.weffriddles.com/)
or
http://www.weffriddles.com/
it has a lot of levels, so if you like riddles then maybe check it out
See if anyone can get this, I have yet to meet anyone that can work it out.
There are two twin angels, one guarding the door to heaven, one guarding the door to hell. Neither doors can be identified as to which is heaven and which is hell.
You have died, and you are now before these two angels. You want to go to heaven, but do not know which door to go through.
You are allowed only ONE question to only ONE of the angels.
There is one problem though, one of the twin angels ALWAYS lies, and one of the twin angels ALWAYS tells the truth.
But just as the doors cannot be identified, neither can the angels.
WHAT QUESTION DO YOU ASK SO YOU KNOW WHICH DOOR TO GO THROUGH?
ENJOY!:devil:
The_Hitman
08-02-2007, 10:16 AM
Ask, "Is his (the other angel) door the door to heaven?"
There was a man who was born before his father, killed his mother, and married his sister. Yet, there was nothing wrong with what he had done. Why?

See if anyone can get this, I have yet to meet anyone that can work it out.
There are two twin angels, one guarding the door to heaven, one guarding the door to hell. Neither doors can be identified as to which is heaven and which is hell.
You have died, and you are now before these two angels. You want to go to heaven, but do not know which door to go through.
You are allowed only ONE question to only ONE of the angels.
There is one problem though, one of the twin angels ALWAYS lies, and one of the twin angels ALWAYS tells the truth.
But just as the doors cannot be identified, neither can the angels.
WHAT QUESTION DO YOU ASK SO YOU KNOW WHICH DOOR TO GO THROUGH?
ENJOY!:devil:
Are you going to tell us? It doesn't look like anyones going to get it.

Ask the other angel, if the other angel will say yes.
:conf: I know that sounds weird but I understood it in my head, just can't explain it.

Yeah. Ask one angel what the other angel would say to the question "Is yours the door to heaven?".
No body is even guessing lol
It is "If I asked the other angel is this the door to heaven what would he say?"
and the response would be either "yes" in which case you go through the other door, or "no" in which case you go through the door.
I'm pretty sure that is right, it confuses me sometimes lol

But you don't know which one would lie? So you're still guessing. It's all very confusing but I think I get it.

Yeh, but look at it like this
" If I asked the other angel is this the door to heaven what would he say?"
HELL / LIAR = YES
HEAVEN / TRUTH = No
OR
HELL / TRUTH = YES
HEAVEN / LIAR = No
So in what ever case is the answer is yes you go through the other door, and if the answer is no, you go through that door.
(I hope the diagram type thing makes sense)

whatttt???
Have you heard this before?
that can't be the correct answer.
I think the man must ask either of the angels this question:
`If I ask the other angel which door she is watching over, what would she say`
OK,so if the man poses this question to the liar the answer
would be;
`the other angel would say she is watching over hell (lie)
and if the man had posed the same question to the truthful
angel the answer will be
`she will say she is watching over heaven`.
This is taking for ever to think through so its probably already been answered.Anyway its only what I recall from years ago
but in a different format. But is it right??
Edit: Typically late again. Can someone tell me how I could have checked that it hadn`t been answered already after spending 15 minutes thinking about it and writing it down,
I`m the only one who seems to do this.!!

There is a man, and he lives at the top of a 20 story building.
Everyday when he gets back from work he takes the lift up to the 10th floor and walks the rest, apart from when it is raining when he takes the lift all the way to the top.
Why?
Bells
08-02-2007, 04:36 PM
Because the man’s a midget. He can’t reach the button for 20th floor, so he presses and goes up to the 10th and walks the rest. On rainy days, he can use his umbrella to press the 20th floor button…
