A riddle:

Two men are in an open field. Both are wearing backpacks. One is alive, the other is dead.

Ask yes-or-no questions to discover more. The goal is to figure out how the dead man died.

To easy.  They are both parachuters.  One's parachute didn't open.

Riddle me this!

Dang.

Okay, a harder one...

(Well, i think it's harder, anyways...)

A man is lying dead in the middle of the desert. A straw is lying next to him. Nothing else is nearby.

Same concept.

I got one: A man is afraid to go home,because a man with a mask is waiting at home. Who can get this riddle.

Riddle me this!

19 years ago

Trick questions; yah right; anyways, the answer is The guy is on third base and the guy with the mask is the catcher.  Alright, how about this?

A man is next to a rock unconscience.  He is in tights.  Who is he and why is he unconscience?

Riddle me this!

19 years ago

No, the man did not and does not have a horse.

Whether he is in the Sahara or not is irrelevant. I suppose it's possible.

Riddle me this!

19 years ago

Are the tights part of his job?

Riddle me this!

19 years ago
Kind of.  He does with it but he dosen't get money for it.

Havacman- A gay guy in tight clothes passed out by a rock

What was that all about?

Riddle me this!

bird avatar guy- I think he was chewing on the straw while walkin in the dasert and passed out and the straw fell out of his mouth

 

I GOT ONE- a man goes into a bar. He gets a drink and the tender poisons it. The drink is not poisoned and but if the drink gets cold it is drinkable and if it is hot it is drinkable and not poisonous either way. All there is is the glass, straw to drink it, the man and the ice. FIgure it out

Riddle me this!

19 years ago

Nope, he wasn't chewing on the straw.

As for Jimi_the_Z's riddle... the ice is poisoned?

Riddle me this!

19 years ago

Here is a hint for the desert riddle:

There are no tracks of any kind in the area around the dead man.

Riddle me this!

19 years ago
The straw must have poision in it.

Riddle me this!

19 years ago

Nope, the straw wasn't poisoned.

Think of the implications... there are no tracks whatsoever, not even the dead man's...

Riddle me this!

19 years ago

sand storm or snow storm killed him and covered his tracks.

Riddle me this!

Ok I give in . My riddle: The drink isn't poison that can afffect him. I said the tender put poison into the drink somehow, BUT I also said If it is hot is drinkable and if cold still crinkable but NOT POISONOUS EITHER WAY.  In short. I said the drink was poison but the guy wasn't affected in any way.

Riddle me this!

19 years ago

Did Jack and Jill fall down the hill? Or did they just get old, or get the plague or something? And what does crinkable mean?

Riddle me this!

The answer to Silver_Lake's riddle is nothing.

Riddle me this!

19 years ago

Hey Silver.  Have you ever heard of a game called Warriors2?  One of the riddles they have is that one.  I couldn't figure it out.

Also, don't bribe for the answer.  I'd have to say that's against the rules.

Riddle me this!

19 years ago

Yeah bribing will cause a raid and other stuff. And silver you got that riddle off of this site where the background was grey and had a red thingy on there.

My turn again: A man turns off a light and 200 people die. How did this happen

Riddle me this!

19 years ago
the light was a switch in which it activates and kill everyone.

Riddle me this!

19 years ago
A powerplant?

Riddle me this!

19 years ago
Okay not quite. THink where lights are ESPECIALLY NEEDED and how so many people could die at once. The people don't neccesarily have to be blind or deaf for them to die.

Riddle me this!

19 years ago
They are in a mine with a total of 200 people.  The lights turned off and the people couldn't see.  They died from random reasons.

Riddle me this!

19 years ago
Nope.

Riddle me this!

19 years ago

This seems kinda simple.

Another: Same conept: THe music stops, a lady dies

Riddle me this!

19 years ago

For the first:

The switch is not for a light alone. I would surmise that it is the backup generator for a hospital. Turning off the electricity would kill anyone dependant on life support.

For your second, I guess that the music is the steady 'beep...beep...beep' of a heart monitor. When it stops, the heart has stopped as well, and the lady would die.

Riddle me this!

19 years ago
Those seem to be sufficient.  No back to my problem.

Riddle me this!

19 years ago

Music- Solution: THe lady is a tight walker and since the music stopeed she thought she was at the other side and fell to her death

LIght- It is a light switch- Hint: The people are all together

Riddle me this!

19 years ago
The people are all locked in a room. While the lights are on, there are rational discussions of how to escape. However, when somebody turns the light off, everyone panics. Over time, a few grow so hungry that they turn to cannibalism, eating the other prisoners. Finally, there is only one person left, who dies of starvation.

Riddle me this!

Light: Are they in a camp of some kind?
Hay: Were they in a temperate or a tropical desert? What time was the death?

Riddle me this!

19 years ago

this may not work on paper but it does verbally if you say it this way:

3 businessmen are tired and stop at a hotel. they are told that a room is $30. they all chip in $10 to pay for 1 room. they go to their room. the woman who took their money eventually remembers that its discount nite. a room is only $25. therefore, she gives 5 $1 to the bell boy and says to return the $5 to the men. the bell boy cant figure out how to divide $5 between 3 men so he pockets $2 and gives each man $1. now, 3 men essentially paid $9. 9x3=$27. Now $27 + $2 from the bell boy makes $29. what happened to the extra dollar?

nate

this is just a brain teaser that you can tell your friends.

Riddle me this!

19 years ago
the extra dollar never went anywhere. The men paid their $30, the lady returned 5, and, the bell boy take two, so we just went 25+2, with 3 dollars left, each men gets his dollar. THat adds to $30.

Riddle me this!

19 years ago

as sherlock holmes would say "elementary my dear watson." good job. however, what you have done is use logical thinking. but if you propose that question to people verbally they add up to $29 and get completely confused. a friend of mine did that the other nite and we sat for about 10 mins till i started thinking that way as well and figured it out.

nate

Riddle me this!

19 years ago

It was... well, just a desert. The kind with sand and extreme temperatures. The region is pretty much irrelavant.

The time of day he died is likewise irrelavant.

Once again, think of the implications of the fact that there are no tracks around the man. This is not because the tracks were covered or marred.

Riddle me this!

19 years ago
the guy had the dollar.

Was there a flying bird and if so what kind?

Riddle me this!

19 years ago
There isn't a flying bird involved. But you're on the right track.

Riddle me this!

19 years ago
Was there a flying something and if so, what was it?

Also, can I collect the data after you answer and put all the clues together?

Riddle me this!

19 years ago

For your first question, yes, there was a flying something. And 'what was it' is not a yes-or-no question.

As to your second question, go ahead.

Riddle me this!

19 years ago
A bird shitted in his mouth and killed him or. The thing bit him and killed him from loss of blood

Riddle me this!

Riddle me this!

wrong straw.

Riddle me this!

19 years ago

Havacoman
the guy in tights is on the ground because he either
1. choked on the straw
or
2.fell because of the impact of the asteroid and then chocked as he fell.
