Riddles

Post by Hid » Fri Sep 05, 2008 2:26 pm

Might be fun and maybe at times challenging. Just put up a riddle and let's see if others can find the answer.

I'll give it a start with two riddles:

1. There is a frog, dead in the middle of an island. If he swims north, the distance to the mainland is 2 meters. If he swims south, the distance to the mainland is 3 meters. If he swims east or west, the distance is 4 meters. Which way does he swim?


2. What can you put in a barrel to make it lighter?

Good luck!

ooh riddles.
1) I think he doesn't swim anywhere, never seen a dead frog swim.
2) holes maybe? :P

I can't come up with riddles myself at the moment, and I'm afraid I will fail at correctly translating dutch ones.

edit: O wait, I might have one:
A while ago I went to the slayer tower for an abberant spectre assignment. I was about to enter the tower when the stone gargoyls at the entrance came to life. It scared the hell out of me of course. Then one of them spoke to me:
You must feed us to pass.
Our food is more evil then the lords of hell,
But a greater good then the angels in heaven.
It is wanted by the rich and had by the poor.
if you eat it you shall die.


you know what I gave them?

You're good Mart, both are correct :)

My father has 4 sons. 3 of his son's names are John, George and Ringo. What is the name of his fourth son?

Two men walk into a bar. They both sit at the same bar, sit on identical stools, order the same drink in identical glasses. One guy drinks his drink fast, the other guy drinks his drink slow. The guy who drinks his drink slow dies, but the guy who drinks his drink fast lives. Why?
