The Riddle Thread

[mindless_moder]

i was going to post one
ok let me guess "the answer??"

 

[Logic]

Nope - it's got nothing to do with riddles, I can tell you that.

It's sort of lateral thinking. There's a good reason why you probably want it if you're reading the riddle.

 

[mindless_moder]

if im reading it then id want the riddle.

 

[Logic]

Hehe I guess that's true but nope, the anwser doesn't relate to riddles or answers or things like that. It's not really a trick question, it's just one of those ones that you need to think outside the limits you're placing on your own thinking before you can get the answer

Edit: I can start giving hints if anyone wants me to.

 

[mindless_moder]

cameron says : a life.
give us some hints.

 

[Logic]

Nope

There's a logical reason for the answer, not a sarcastic one or a trick question one or anything. Want a hint?

Edit: bad hint..

 

[mindless_moder]

hints are for loosers , babies even .
i want a hint ;'(

 

[mindless_moder]

ok my friend sugested half-life 2.

 

[Logic]

Yep, that's it!

Get it? :cheese:

 

[mindless_moder]

A woman has 7 children, half of them are boys.
How can this be possible

 

[cameronjames]

hehe i won.... i know the answer to this one too, logic, do you have any more ?

 

[Logic]

I can come up with some more if you want, but it's getting late so I might get some sleep....

Anyway, I'm still trying to figure out this 7 children one.... :rolling:

 

[mindless_moder]

ill leave u 2 the 7 children one

 

[cameronjames]

argh ickles, sleep? who needs sleep? its only 1am!

 

[Logic]

You're in sydney australia too? (if not, it happens to be 1 am here too )

I have a few hsc exams tomorrow, so I should probably sleep :cheese:

I personally couldn't give a flying armpit about them though, I have my life all planned out already, I just need to get to work on it. I don't need no stinkin HSC.

 

[cameronjames]

LOL I should be insulted

Nah, I'm a composer and an audio engineer (I've been getting a degree in audio engineering while I've been doing my HSC actually), and I'm planning on working in the game industry as an all-round sound\music guy. I've already had interest from a few companies with reguards to my music, and I'm pretty confident I can pull it off. From there I want to move into film music, and if I manage to make it big there, and I'm financially comfortable, I'll just be composing for my own experimentation and hopefully releasing music, as well as travelling the world performing my music with orchestras etc. Of course, all that's just long term dreaming - my immediate goal is solid work in a game company. If I can pull that off within the next year (which I'm confident I can), I'll be well on my way.

 

[cameronjames]

hehe, nice and good work, congrats!

 

[mindless_moder]

7 children here people 7.

 

[Idolon]

3 boys, 3 girls and one hermaphrodite?

 

[lambda^2]

He didn't say the other half must be girls, did he
Just let 4 (or more) of them be boys, 4>3.5 then half of all children must be also boys or not.
Btw logic the Half Life 2 one was not bad

btw I just thought of a riddle, so I bags saying the next one :cheese:

Sorry I was gone for a bit, yeah you got the answer first.

 

[mindless_moder]

lambda got it

 

[lambda^2]

My turn I guess... ok this one's kinda tough, I saw it somewhere back in school (and couldn't solve it)

What comes next?
3
13
1113
3113
132113
1113122113
311311222113

 

[Bad^Hat]

WTH! Screw that :|

 

[lambda^2]

nono, try it it has a very simple solution, once you know it.

 

[Idolon]

I know that one! :E

3: can be described as "one three". So next we write that:
13: can be deskribed as "one one, one three".
1113: "three one, one three"
3113
132113
1113122113
311311222113: "one three, two one, one three, two one, three two, two one, one three"

So the answer is:
13211321322113

 

[Bad^Hat]

Wow :| that's just... **** that :|:|

 

[lambda^2]

Idolon was right, go make another one

and Mr. Hat, I don't see the problem with this one... nvm

 

[Idolon]

Here you go:

In the eyes it causes blindness,
in the nose just a sneeze;
Yet some suck this down,
and act as if pleased.

 

[Login_Here]

You're good at making riddles Idolon.

My guess is:
The sun.

 

[Idolon]

Who said I made them?

And nope, wrong answer.

 

[XtAkm4p]

pepper?

some kind of drug?

 

[Idolon]

well... "some kind of drug" is kind of close.
But I shouldn't say too much.
Ok... that was too much.

 

[XtAkm4p]

inhalents? alcohol?

 

[Idolon]

I usually don't pour alcohol down my nose so I really wouldn't know but...
It doesn't make you sneeze! right?

You are incorrect!

 

[XtAkm4p]

someone else guess....

whatr about inhalents? no? damn...

 

[SpuD]

cocain?

 

[Dr.Sbaitso]

my guess is Smoke

 

[Logic]

Yeah, I'd say it's smoke too.
