Riddles
 

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)

:colour:

hmm....

He farted and it blew him along the 1 side faster.

Does he walk backwards?

What goes on four legs in the morning, on two legs at noon, and on three legs in the evening?

A dog?

For Legend's original one:

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

Nope... sorry

OMG! You're so clever! That sounds like the answer.!

Is it a parrot-monkey?

Nope :bored:

Nope :bored: [/quote]

There's such thing you know. You dont believe me do you.

Is it the medal winners from the last Special Olympics 100 metres?

Yep, got it in one Icey. :tongue:

Yay! :dance:

What's black and white and looks like a horse?

What's yellow and smells like paint?

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.

Am I right?

I've heard of this one before, so I won't say the answer :whistle:
It's pretty hard, I think.

I think you're right GRiT, I remember hearing that particular riddle before.

You're right, and also pretty good at using google :wink:

A papier mache horse?

LMAO!!!!!

I've just googled it and it didn't come up. Are you casting doubts on my morality?

Nope.

A zebra. :whistle:

I was going to say zebra!

But didn't think it was right. :laugh:

Ye who has lil faith. :hugesmile:

Come on, what's yellow and smells like paint?

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?

I've pretty much heard all of them or got them so far, except the yellow and smells like paint one!

I'm normally crap at riddles as well..

So the yellow and smells like paint one.. yellow paint??

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!

She took a picture of him then developed the photo

Haha yeah, yellow paint. :tongue:

HINT: Most of mine don't take much brain power, they're always stupid. :whistle:

the dulux dog's p***.

OMG I'm getting all these riddles.

Normally takes me ages!

Most would have probably heard this, and if you have - don't say the secret of it :hugesmile: It's not so much a riddle....


Scenario...At her mother's funeral, a woman meets a guy and falls in love with him instantly. However, she never got his name, number or any other information about him. A few days later, the woman kills her sister.

Question...Why did she kill her sister?

Because she was a Danielle Lloyd fan?

Got it in one :wink:

Haha, but there is another answer... :tongue: Lmao.

I think somebody is using my thread to practice their comedy skills.

Please don't when it involves Danielle, and Lauren, don't encourage him. :wink:

But... :sad: Fiiiiiine then.

No you're right Lauren - this isn't a riddle. I think I have heard it before, so I know the answer (shocker. :hugesmile:)

You don't want me to say though, do you?
