A man and his wife are driving really fast along the highway. The car runs out of gas. The man says to his wife that he is going to get help. When he returns he finds his wife dead and a stranger in the car. How did his wife die and who is the stranger.



His wife died in child birth. The stranger is a baby.




_sum41_ -> RE: The Official Riddle Thread (2/15/2010 1:17:33)

Well this must be the first time I've posted in months but this topic has me interested so I'll try one.

You are in a pitch black room with nothing in it except one dresser full of socks. There are a total of 50 white socks and 50 black socks adding up to a total of 100. You have no way of making the room lighter and you can't leave the room until you have a pair of matching socks in your hands. What is the only way you can guarantee you have have a matching pair of socks in your hands?

spoiler:

Grab 3 socks.




Akredis -> RE: The Official Riddle Thread (2/22/2010 17:11:03)

@above

Actually, grabbing that number of socks can't GUARANTEE you have a matching pair of socks. In fact, grabbing ALL of the socks in the drawer can't guarantee a matching pair, because without one's sensory perception, how do I even know there is a certain amount of each color of socks? I would just have to assume your conditions are fact, and faith is a very sensetive element of a riddle. Therefore, your riddle is flawed my good sir.




legomaster00156 -> RE: The Official Riddle Thread (2/22/2010 19:14:41)

In addition to what galanoth above me has said,

spoiler:

grabbing three socks will not ensure a matching pair. What if you end up grabbing three of the same color? Only grabbing fifty-one socks will ensure escape.




Akredis -> RE: The Official Riddle Thread (2/28/2010 18:57:03)

@legomaster00156
Exactly, even though that doesn't answer my second clause.

Einwill -> RE: The Official Riddle Thread (3/18/2010 0:51:10)

Rightie,this is a riddle my parents posed me. Im working on it rite now, but I want to see what the forum can think up.Edit:Done.Its simple and awesome at the same time.
You have 2 bags. You have 100 bolts. You have to separate them so that there is 2 times more bolts in one bag than the other.You cant cut them.How do you do it?
Hint:Its something to do with bags. It would not work with cups for instance.

spoiler:

You put 50 bolts in one bag. 50 bolts in the other.Then you put one of the bags inside of the other one

warlanda -> RE: The Official Riddle Thread (4/17/2010 14:28:04)

These r kindof random and come from the back of my monsterology handbook, so if u have one, ur at an advantage. and most of these are in the form of poems, but they are riddles, and the poem form gives hints to the answers.

Beware of old one-eye,who walks on two legs of flesh and bone and arries on leg of wood in his two strong arms. what sort of monster is he?
spoiler:

Gold she loves, in glonting chests;
rears her chicks in rocky nests
in tall mountains, so they say;
flies my night and resta by day.
Find her name, and tell me, pray.
Is every leter here a clue?
No, but the first will always do.
spoiler:

Griffin


my first is first in YEAR;
my socond is first in EAR;

High in the snow,'that's where I go.

lonewulfy -> RE: The Official Riddle Thread (4/18/2010 20:21:42)

Because they're easy.
I maintain that I've never picked up an ology book, and never plan to.




warlanda -> RE: The Official Riddle Thread (4/21/2010 18:20:23)

these only make sence if you're compleatly insain.

how many pncakes does it take to build a doghouse?

one last time, you have to be TOTALLY AND COMPLEATLY INSAIN to get these, I get them, so if you don't understand them, just ask me to explain them, then hopefully you'll understand, if not, you know you're sain.




Reaper Sigma -> RE: The Official Riddle Thread (4/21/2010 18:29:13)
