Anyone got any clever riddles?
I'll start it off. To keep things going, don't post unless you have another riddle as well as the answer to the last one.
Here goes.

What traps warmth, sprays forth ice and water, yet slips through your fingers with ease?

Victor · 12-04-2002 10:59pm

Clouds.

sisob · 12-04-2002 11:01pm

sprays forth ice? you should really see a doctor about that

sisob · 12-04-2002 11:06pm

you are put in a room with two men.
you are blindfolded and a hat is put on your head.
You are told that the hat is either black or white.
You will only leave the room alive if you can tell the dude outside the door what color the hat is.

You are told that one of the men only tells lies and the other only tells the truth - you do not know which is which. You may ask both men a question - but it must be the same question. Both men can see your hat

What is the question?

DrunkLeprachaun · 13-04-2002 12:07am

Is it; You ask both men what the other one would say(i.e. black or white) and say that the hat is the opposite colour of what they both said?
I haven't heard it before, in case you're wondering.

An easy one now.

a chicken, a fox and a grain of rice are on the side of a river,

there is a guy in a boat and he must get them to the other side.

he cannot put anything in his pockets, he canoot carry more then one of the things above mentions at a time

now the rules, you cannot leave the chicken with the rice as he will eat it, you cant leave the fox with the chicken as he will eat that, so how will he get the 3 of them to the other side safely?

Lump · 13-04-2002 12:41am

Taka the chicken the first time...... then the fox cant eat the chicken and the chicken cant eat the grain,

3. Bring chicken back to first side leave there
4. Bring fox accross
5. Go back for chicken

Makaveli · 13-04-2002 1:07am

Take the chicken first leaving the fox and the rice.
Then go get the fox and bring him over, drop him off but take the chicken back over with you.
Leave the chicken off and take the rice over.
Now with the fox and rice on the other side come back over and get the chicken.
Bingo bango problem solved.

A match / matchbook.

kitton · 13-04-2002 3:37pm

its not really a riddle well it kinda is but its really annoying!
k,three men go into a hotel and pay 30 euro for a one room (dont question what they're doing) all together,they split the 30 euro between them,they then go up to their room.when they've gone the manager realises he has overcharged them,the room actaully costs 25 euro so he sends the bell boy up to the men's room with the extra 5euro he overcahrged them.
on the way to the room,the bellboy realises he cant split the fiver evenly between the three men so he decides to give them each one euro back and keep the remaining 2euro for himself.
here's the riddle part:
that means that each man paid 9euro each as they got one euro each back,3 times 9=27 plus the two euro the bell boy has,thats 29euro...WHERE DID THE OTHER EURO GO?god,i'v confused everyone,hehe

DrunkLeprachaun · 13-04-2002 3:43pm

The riddle tells you something that is not true. You are meant to subtract the 2 the bellboy takes away from the 27 istead of adding it. The room cost eu25.

Kate had an evil uncle. he wanted her to marry one of his two ugly sons bill and ben. kate doesn't want to marry either of them. she pleads but the uncle says " you are allowed to say one sentance. if the sentance is true you marry bill, if it is false you will marry ben." what can kate say to get out of marrying either of them.

There are a few different answers to it. I came up with around 4.

Victor · 13-04-2002 3:51pm

Kate could say "Under duress I agree to marry Ben." As it's a true statement she would have to marry Bill, but seeing as she agreed to marry Ben ....

DrunkLeprachaun · 13-04-2002 4:00pm

Right. There are other answers though...

I can go up the chimney down but not down the chimney up. What am I?

fi · 13-04-2002 4:02pm

an Umbrella!!

how far can a man run into the forrest?

DrunkLeprachaun · 13-04-2002 4:16pm

Half Way?

A black cat stood in the middle of a black intersection, in a city painted black. The city was also habing a blackout, so there was no light coming from streetlights, windows, etc. There were no other cars, and no people were present. A car with broken headlights (guess what color it is!) arrives at the intersection, and the driver sees the cat in time to swerve. How is this possible?

It really is too easy. I'm sorry.

Baz_ · 13-04-2002 5:00pm

A farmer has 17 sheep, and all but 9 die. How many are left?

Makaveli · 13-04-2002 9:25pm

It is the St.Ives one I just couldnt remember the name of the place

9 sheep left

The cirlce one is a bit of a dodgy question I probably shouldnt have asked it.

Makaveli · 13-04-2002 9:29pm

Fi the answer 12 is right.

The answers to yours were, seeing as people didnt see my answers:
The clerk weighs meat
The months are 12
70 you gave as right
Noah did the ark not Moses so none
The last question is the same as the first.

Cerberus · 13-04-2002 9:34pm

A circle has infinite sides

Cerberus · 13-04-2002 9:43pm

A monkey sits in the corner of a square room, in each other corner there is a pair of monkeys. How many monkeys can say they saw other monkeys?

How much dirt is in a 3' by 3' by 3' by 3' hole?

Monkeys can't talk so I presume none of them could 'say' how many monkeys they saw?

A 4 dimensional hole ehh..??

I presume you mean a 3 foot cubed hole. It being a hole would imply that there is no dirt in it.

fi · 13-04-2002 9:46pm

yes sorry, 12 is correct!!

and it was when i was going to St Ives i met a man with 7 wives each wife had 7 cats each cat 7 kittens
