[Dark-]

A farmer in California owns a beautiful pear tree. He supplies the fruit to a nearby grocery store. The store owner has called the farmer to see how much fruit is available for him to purchase. The farmer knows that the main trunk has 24 branches. Each branch has exactly 12 boughs and each bough has exactly 6 twigs. Since each twig bears one piece of fruit, how many plums will the farmer be able to deliver?

Haha....another illogical question; that question is the same as asking "How many chipmunks does it cost to buy a fathom?" These question are good to use if you want to see if your audience is paying attention.

Here is my riddle:

You can take away the whole and still have some left. You can take away some and still have the whole left. What is it?

well what is it?

[frankenstein]

oh oh i think im wrong but i have a few guesses one the moon but you cant actually take the moon....
so the better guess is time you can take whole at that time and still have some and you can take some in still have your whole life left....
or maybe today you can take your hole day and still have some left and still have many whole days left....
well i give up for now im going to think about this while im at a concert now thanks allot for asking such a simply complex question. probably my fault for reading it though.

You can always jump higher than a building, because a building can't jump at all.

[DoG MikkyW]

He is standing on the building.

shoot yourself, you're retarded.

[frankenstein]

shoot myself their is some constructive criticism right their. it might defy the point of, "with nothing but myself", but under that criteria you cant use earth to jump either so their for in a state of no gravity and no push point you cant jump. so under the state that were you are jumping from is not defined it works. and yeah it was wrong i realized that when Kasnia said buildings cant jump. however my answer was the only one i could think of that time.

im retarded, your a straight up dushbag!!!

You are in a room where there are no metal objects except for two iron rods. Only one of them is a magnet.
How can you identify this magnet?


..)/\(
<Deo>
..)\/(

[51L3NC3]

Hold one in each hand. While holding one stationary, move the other closer. Whichever one seems to pull has the magnetic charge (kinda hard to explain, but I can see it lol)

[A Deo et Rege]

The way you explained would not work because while holding a rod in each hand, and moving them closer. The magnet and the neutral rod will pull towards each other with the same amount of force because of the laws of magnetism. You have the right idea, but not the solution. I have done an experiment along these lines, and I know what the solution to the problem is; it's easier to solve than you think.

[51L3NC3]

hmm... i don't know... i thought my first experiment wouldn't work *sigh*

[A Deo et Rege]

Think about how the magnetic fields of a bar magnet work; that should be a good clue as to the answer.......

(N)====(X)====(S)

[Xavier_Blackstone]

i thinks its somethin with the dipole effect or sumthing and if you touch one end dirrectly to the middle of the other it won't be attracted. is that any where close?

[A Deo et Rege]

Yes, that's how you would figure out which bar is the magnet because if you lay one of the bars on the ground, and hold the other in your hand when you bring the one in your hand close to the center of the one on the floor if it attracts the bar then you have the magnet in your hand; if it does not attract it then you have the neutral rod in your hand, and the magnet is on the ground.

[a2thae]

They'll probably just google it...but heres another one for you.

Person 1 shoots a gun....how does person 2 catch the bullet unharmed.

Using the laws of gravity, person 2 would be high enough up in the air where if someone shot a bullet straight up it would stop rotating, and he could catch it because it wouldn't have much momentum (at the peak of how high the bullet would go)

Ok this is a little puzzle/riddle that I came up with for the school newspaper when I was in highschool. Before you even attempt it I would suggest that you print it out to make it a little easier to do.

The puzzle is titled Poems and Short stories and the instructions are pretty simple.

1. This puzzle is not in english to start with, and two variants of this language had to be used. The letters are scrambled and the vowels have been dropped.

2. The letters underlined in blue help to awnser to #2. The letters underlined in red go to #3. The letters underlined in black go to #4, and the letters underlined in green go to #5.

3. Sadly due to the language not having the characters I needed...in #1 the letters with a star under it are the letters that they say...but might still be scrambled.

[51L3NC3]

You're in an unescapable room with no windows, doors, lights, furniture, or anything of such nature. Only a ceiling, floor, and 4 walls create this death box you are in. There are 5 items in this room to help you escape. The first item in a Crayola Crayon, the second, a piece of cardboard. The third and fourth pieces are 2 used matches. The fifth and final item is a calculator. Using these devices, construct a tool to get out of this room alive.

[RAV]

take the crayon and draw a hole in the wall?

There are three masters of logic who are trying to figure out who is the best. So they go to the grandmaster(or whatever) and ask him for a riddle. He says that he is going to hand out 2 blue hats and 1 red hat. They can not see the hat they have on but can see the other two. Two immediately raise their hands, they answer that they have the red hat both are wrong. The third ponders for a moment and answers...

[A Deo et Rege]

I believe I have heard this riddle before, and I think you left out some details. The Grandmaster gives the masters a riddle and says that they all have an equal chance to win, and tell them that he will hand out 3 hats; 2 of one color and 1 of a different color. The first two raise their hand both say that they have the hat of a different color, but they are wrong; the third answers and says he is wearing, as in your case, a blue hat because in order for them to all have an equal chance of winning they must all be wearing the same hat.

A Carny tells a man that he bets $50 that he can write the man's exact weight on a piece of paper. Seeing no scale the man agrees, knowing that he can just tell the carny that he is wrong either way. In the end the man pays the carny the $50. Why?

This should be easy...........

Imagine you are in a room with 3 switches. In an adjacent room there are 3 bulbs (let's say in lamps which are on a regular table), each switch belongs to one bulb. All are off at the moment. It is impossible to see from one room to another. No help from anybody else is allowed.

How can you find out which switch belongs to which bulb if you may enter the room with the bulbs only once?


Let me add a few conditions to make things a bit more clear.

#1 The lamps cannot be moved.

#2 The table they sit on cannot be move.

#3 The wires connecting the lamps to the switches are hidden, and are out of reach.

[Warpurlgis]

follow the cords if there are cords?

[Nuba]

I've thought of 2 possible solutions.
1. You flip a switch then walk to the doorway so you can see into the adjancent room but not entering it.
2. Involves finding a mirror and placing it so you can see into the other room.


thier probably both wrong

[numerator-91]

i cant remember but its something to do with turning two of the switches on and one off and then you see one lamp is on must be switch still on and then you feel the other two globes, the warmer one is the other one you switched on and the cold one was the one you left alone

[exial]

shoot yourself, you're retarded.

:D:D:D
Killed him.

[51L3NC3]

num is right, turn the first one on for like 5 min and the second one on for a few seconds after you turn out the two that were just lit. The hottest would be the first one, and the coolest would be the one you didn't turn on

Easy one here:
A man is bear-hunting in the middle of summer. There is no vegetation or trees around that he can use to track the bear like that and the ground isn't muddy so he can't follow his prints like that. Yet he manages to track it down and kill it. How?

Because there's no vegetation or trees or ANYTHING in the way of him seeing the bear?

Two men are going to jump off of separate towers located thousands of miles apart, and both towers are exactly the same size.

"with no wings, I fly,. With no eyes, I see. With no arms, I climb. More frightening than any beast, stronger than any foe. I am cunning, ruthless, and tall; in the end, I rule all. What am I?"

[Nuba]

To Deo:

The only possible solution I can come up with is a loophole in exact time. It could possibly mean that they planned on jumping at 5pm for instance. Because their several thousand miles apart then they'd be in different timezones, and 5pm would occur at one tower before the other. Leading one man to jump before the other. Or (i just thought of this)...one of the towers could be built next to a cliff and the pool is at the bottom of the cliff. The tower itself is the same height as the other one but the distance to the pool is greater because of the cliff.

#2 ~ There are four girls, and four apples in a basket. Every girl takes an apple, yet one apple remains in the basket? How is this possible?

What occurs once ever minute, twice every moment, but never in a thousand years?

[A Deo et Rege]

Both of you are correct, but there is still the matter of the "Jump" riddle. Can nobody solve this?

..)/\(
<Deo>
..)\/(

[Slawter]

straightedge, the letter m?

[Kasnia]

Easy one:

Two men are going to jump off of separate towers located thousands of miles apart, and both towers are exactly the same size. They are both going to land in a pool at the bottom so no parachutes are used. They both jump at the exact same time, but one of the men reaches the water first; how is this possible?

..)/\(
<Deo>
..)\/(

Got a few options here:


1-The first man used aerodynamics and pointed his body to fall faster, and the other guy did a "parachute style" type of fall where his arms and legs were spread out and he was on his stomach so that he would fall slower.

2-Basically the same thing as above, but instead of the "parachute style" he just did a cannon-ball or something. The first guy's feet would've hit the water before the other guy's did.

3-The pool's are the same depth, but one has more water in it than the other?

[straightedgepunk123]

Is one guy shorter than the other?

[ItsAPoorlyKeptSecret]

is it because the towers are the same "size" but not the same "height"

[A Deo et Rege]

Well, I see you are all thinking pretty hard about this one, and so far nobody has come close.

Here is a clue, and if you can't figure it out after this then your thinking too hard:

~Isaac Newton's apple~


..)/\(
<Deo>
..)\/(

[Kasnia]

It can't be that one was heavier than the other, can it? Because didn't Bill Nye the Science Guy show that if you drop an apple and a bowling ball from the same height at the same time, they hit the ground at the same time?

[itismesaj]

That's right, Kas. Weight has nothing to do with dropping rate.

[ItsAPoorlyKeptSecret]

okay i think i read it very carfully now is it cause the towers are the same sizes but thousands of milesa apart not horizontally but verticlly so that the one is thousands of miles away from the pool then the other one??

[Kasnia]

Well, he said that they're the same size. So.. Idk. You might be right, but idk.

[itismesaj]

Deo, give us a hint, please.

[Kasnia]

Yeah, I know. I wish he would log on and tell us the answer. Well, just give us another hint. Because I thought of about everything I can, and damn... There's no way. Lol. When I find out what it is, it's going to be one of those *facepalm* moments.

[itismesaj]

No joke. Especially since he keeps on saying that it's super easy.

[ItsAPoorlyKeptSecret]

yea i can see myself def slapping myself on the forehead when the answer is given.....wish it was soon i want to kno

[itismesaj]

In the meantime:

Mr. Adams is reading the newspaper where he see an article stating that a well-known doctor and his wife went skiing, and that his wife had been killed on the trip. Mr. Adams slapped his forehead, called the police, and declared that the doctor murdered his wife! How did he know?

[Kasnia]

Hm... *ponders* I'll come back to this one.

[straightedgepunk123]

Is one tower on the moon?

[Kasnia]

In the meantime:

Mr. Adams is reading the newspaper where he see an article stating that a well-known doctor and his wife went skiing, and that his wife had been killed on the trip. Mr. Adams slapped his forehead, called the police, and declared that the doctor murdered his wife! How did he know?

Was he the doctore?

Is one tower on the moon?

I actually thought that, and then thought, "Hm.. That's too easy..."

....Goddamnit.. that's probably the answer...

[straightedgepunk123]

I actually thought that, and then thought, "Hm.. That's too easy..."

....Goddamnit.. that's probably the answer...

The simplest answers in riddles are probably the right ones.

[ItsAPoorlyKeptSecret]

and by "his wife" do you mean the well known doc or mr. adams? and was it because mr adams is crazy and making those kind of calls all day from the old folks home??

[itismesaj]

Good guess, Kas, but no.

And by "his" wife, I mean the doctor.

[Kasnia]

Man.... Saj, I KNOW I've heard that riddle before, but I can't think of what the answer is.


Does the newspaper state that the doctor killed his wife?

[A Deo et Rege]

Ok, this is the last hint. After this I'm just going to state the answer.

Hint:

~Equatorial Bulge~

If you google that you should find the answer; if not, await my next post, and I will answer the riddle.

..)/\(
<Deo>
..)\/(

[itismesaj]

Oh, so one of the men was at the equator?

[A Deo et Rege]

Your getting warmer, now just explain what that has to do with the riddle. That's the reason I said, "towers located thousands of miles apart."

..)/\(
<Deo>
..)\/(

[itismesaj]

One of the towers is located further away from the Earth's center of gravity, so he would fall slower?

And no, Kas, it doesn't say that the doctor murdered his wife. But Mr. Adams KNOWS that the doctor murdered his wife.

[ItsAPoorlyKeptSecret]

goddamn that mr adams, i also swear i heard this one before but i cant think of it...

is it cause mr adams is psychic?
or
is it a mystery role playing game thing where he had already had clues leading to that conclusion?

[A Deo et Rege]

One of the towers is located further away from the Earth's center of gravity, so he would fall slower?

And no, Kas, it doesn't say that the doctor murdered his wife. But Mr. Adams KNOWS that the doctor murdered his wife.

Yes, their rate of acceleration will differ slightly, thus the speed at which one of them falls will be slower.

..)/\(
<Deo>
..)\/(

[itismesaj]

No, but it does have something to do with Mr. Adam's profession.

[ItsAPoorlyKeptSecret]

no that was retarded

umm..... could mr adams be the coroner?

[itismesaj]

The woman was killed in Switzerland (I forgot that), so they would have done the autopsy. So no, he isn't.

[ItsAPoorlyKeptSecret]

switzerland!!!! that give me nothing...what was mr adams the weather man and knew that its was closed season for skiing and so the docs story was a lie??

[itismesaj]

No but you are on the right track.

[A Deo et Rege]

The answer to my riddle was gravity, that was the reason I said it was simple. However, looking back, it does seem a little more difficult than I previously thought, but I assumed the Newton clue would give it away. I made this riddle for my physics class, and the majority of them got it right off the bat, but it took others a while to realize it.

The reason for one of the guys hitting the ground earlier than the other is that the rate of acceleration at the equator is 9.789 m/s^2, and the rate of acceleration at the North or south pole is 9.832 m/s^2. I hope that explains the riddle.

..)/\(
<Deo>
..)\/(

[Kasnia]

Damn you and your intellect, Deo. Just kidding. =)

[ItsAPoorlyKeptSecret]

gravtiy haha if thats the answer i never even had a chance of getting it. but feels good to learn something new every day i did not know there were um different speeds to fall because of gravity on different parts of the world

[straightedgepunk123]

I remember now! Mr. Adams is a travel agent, and the doctor bought one roundtrip ticket to switzerland and one one way ticket, right?

[itismesaj]

Yep, that's right.

[Slawter]

Straightedge needs to get back on. Here's 2 though: Cannot be seen,cannot be felt, cannot be heard, cannot be s***t. It lies behind the stars and beneath the hills. Ends life and kills laughter. What is it?


and: If you break me, I'll not stop working. If you touch me, my work is done. If you lose me, you must find me with a ring soon after. What am I?

[ItsAPoorlyKeptSecret]

travel agent goddamn it!!!! i wasnt even close as always

"Cannot be seen,cannot be felt, cannot be heard, cannot be s***t. It lies behind the stars and beneath the hills. Ends life and kills laughter. What is it?"

the imagination??


"If you break me, I'll not stop working. If you touch me, my work is done. If you lose me, you must find me with a ring soon after. What am I?"

travel agent?? that one i def cant even think of anything i think i get it with two of the sentences but then the left over one wont make sence so thats got me completely stumped

[itismesaj]

The second one... is it the sun? Or how about the moon?

Hey, they had their chance; I waited 18 hours before I posted the answer. I could have posted it right away, but I waited to see if anyone else would answer it.........I can't help I was born intellectually gifted. :p

[Slawter]

true. You are wise beyond your years. lol

[frankenstein]

darkness how that work how dose it Ends life and kill laughter? when it gets dark it gets cold which is kinda felling it.....

actually i dont get how the heart works either....
If you break me, I'll not stop working. Ok in the sense of love a metaphorical broken heart but a actual broken heart means it tore and it stops.

If you touch me, my work is done. actually if you are having heart surgery while they open you up you can touch your heart.

If you lose me, you must find me with a ring soon after. ok if you lose touch with a girl and then show up with a ring i doubt she will not get a restraining order.......

[Slawter]

Dude, I didn't make them up, they're from The Dark Tower book 4 by Stephen King.

K hope no one did this one yet.

There was a man found shot in his car. All of the doors were locked, the windows weren't broken, and there wasn't a scratch on the car. The alarm had not gone off. THE CAR WAS COMPLETLY INTACT. There was no one in the car when got in the car and no one entered during the time he was in his vehical. Also, he did not kill himself. How was he shot?

[a2thae]

He was shot once, went into the car to take cover and locked the doors;then died (if he died)

If he didn't die;he shot himself. "he did not kill himself" nowhere does it say he is dead.

There ya go tautological answer.

[ItsAPoorlyKeptSecret]

HE HAD THE SUNROOF open and Bang!!

[frankenstein]

i would say he was killed before he got in the car and dragged and put in it odd the killer would lock the doors but stranger things right......

[c73]

Well... if you want to look at it, you said the windows weren't broken, you never said if they were up so... they weren't and someone shot him, easy enough.

[Slawter]

ima say the middle one is something to do with falling. otherwise you beat me to the other two

[Seanson]

here's a nice one from awhile back. This is a very famous riddle.
Why is a raven like a writing desk?

[Kasnia]

That one fucks me over every time..

[RAV]

1) almost famous

2) *Yet to be spoiled* Hint: it does have to do with falling

3) time

[RAV]

I have heard multiple answers to the raven.
Including
They both have quills, which I think is the answer you are looking for.

Riddle: I spin and spin to hold things up but when I stop it all falls down. What am I?

[Seanson]

Lewis Carrol wrote this riddle with the intent of it never having an answer. In the sequel to Alice In Wonderland, Through The Looking Glass, he revealed he and fellow authors had indeed penned an answer, Poe both wrote on them. Edgar Alan Poe wrote a story about a raven and obviously he wrote on a desk.

[RAV]

that was actually going to be my second answer but I didn't think that was the one you wanted lol, which is why I wrote "I think this is the answer you are looking for"

Repost to bring to the top page

[Kasnia]

The only thing I can think of is "falling over" but I doubt that's it.

[RAV]

the answer consists of 4 words. 2 of which are the words shown.

The other one you will have to think mechanical. Helicopters use them if that is any use to you.

[Seanson]

Gyroscope.

I have no clue about the other one.

[itismesaj]

Number two is falling out of favor. It came to me like a vision.

[RAV]

Good job guys. I'll post another when I think of a hard one, pun not intended.

We need to get this going again... I was hoping for something good :/

[mistikman]

Alright.
You're in a room, no doors or windows. Stone walls so you can't bash through or whatever, there's nothing but a table in the middle. How do you get out?

[c73]

You can't be. Simple enough.
You woulnd't have been able to get in. Unless, you were lowered/thrown in from the top, in which case, push the table up against the wall and climb back out :p

Lol I don't know.

[mistikman]

You fucking moron it's a riddle.

Who wants the answer?

[numerator-91]

careful c73 were dealing with one hardcore mo'fo' here

[ItsAPoorlyKeptSecret]

i have a riddle....

I spy only one real moron here, no manners, and a has a stick up his ass apparently.

I'll give a hint...starts with m... ends with istikman.


and my answer was gonna be the same as c73, but i already kno i am a moron haha so lets see? how bout....AWWW i got it!!!

No...Doors!! just walk out haha

[mistikman]

Alright it's a play in words. :) There are no doors Secret...:S
And what do you's have against me?
Anyways... Answer:
Rub your arm against the wasll until you get a sore.
Use that saw to cut the table in half.
Put the two halves together to make a whole.
Now crawl out the hole.
:)
But seriously, what do you's have against me?

EDIT: I release what you mean Secret.:)
There's no doors, leaving doorways. But no, that's not the answer. ^_^

[ItsAPoorlyKeptSecret]

no way hah tahts cant be the awnser mine was a much better one haha the one you gave is way to complex.

An you insult a friend, you only have 34 post, and joined recently, i am allowed to haze you! other then that meh.

But seriously change the answer to that riddle to mine, i really think that one works better haha and cause i felt really smart being able to figure it out like that i never get these damn riddles right

[mistikman]

Lol, you do have a good answer.
I wanna keep it that way because it;s the I heard it though.
Erm I do apologise for insulting your friend. But who was it?
I was probably in a bad mood... I'm always in bad moods.:O
I do plan to get my post count up anyway. ^_^
But with the way I'm going, I odn't think it's gonna go up too fast too soon.

[ItsAPoorlyKeptSecret]

i dont kno the whole rubb your are sore just throws it off to me.
And its not that you insulted really, she just simply gave good trying effort to answer the riddle, and you replied very retardly(i dont think thats a wrod but meh).

and some advise anyone can just up thier post make sure its atleast something good. people have like a few hundred and are alright, some can have almost a thou, and still want to get back the time you wasted of your life reading any post they post.

[mistikman]

Oh well I do apologise, cos honestly this is what was running through my head:
I'm an idiot...Duh... Hey look at that a reply...*Reads*... It;s a riddle it doesn't have to make sense...-.-...Who doesn't know that!?"
And what I mean is this.
Rub your arm against the wall until you get a sore(Sore as in a scrape)
Use that Saw(Changes, to saw as in the building tool.) to cut the table in half.
Put the two halves together to make a whole.
Now crawl through the hole.(Whole changes to hole so you crawl through it) Play in words.;)
Does that clear things up?

[ItsAPoorlyKeptSecret]

no see i get the end witht he halfs and hole and what not, but the sore into scrape then to saw...makes no sense to me.

[mistikman]

Rub your arm until you get a sore. It's just a simple change of spelling, you get a sore but this riddle is supposed to be spoken, so it's a bit harder when reading it...
Um... You get a sore and you use that saw to bla bla bla.
Erm... I don't think I can explain it anymore...:S

[scragly]

Alright.
You're in a room, no doors or windows. Stone walls so you can't bash through or whatever, there's nothing but a table in the middle. How do you get out?

You break the table in half then 2 halves make a whole.

[c73]

Lol, you do have a good answer.
I wanna keep it that way because it;s the I heard it though.
Erm I do apologise for insulting your friend. But who was it?

Who was it?? Me of course :p
Don't be rude to me, some people on this site actually like me and will stick up for me haha, thanks Itsa :)

And Scragly... that actually makes sense, I feel like a moron for not realizing that.

[numerator-91]

no mistikboy is the moron here.

[c73]

True... very true.
mistik just doesn't make sense.

[ItsAPoorlyKeptSecret]

yea like if he(mistik) cut out the beginning and said it like scragly said then that been okay, but i still think my answer works too.

and no problem c73
