envelope is the physical answer. Eye if yer looking for a word

BTW as for the circle question - you can say 1 side if yer refering to the actual line itself or if refering to the circle you can say 2 sides - inside and outside.

Cause he's playing Monopoly.

As for the monkies in the square room - the answer would be 0, if you wanna take the "monkeys cant talk" answer, or 15 otherwise (cause a "square room" has 8 corners - 4 on the ground, 4 at the roof.)

Bah, yes monopoly

Inside outside was the answer I was looking for.
For the hole one, the extra 3' was me not paying attention to what I was writing.
The monkey one is none coz they cant talk.
Bonkey there may be corners at a ceiling but you cant sit upside on it or in mid-air.

I cant think of any more riddles.

Bonkey can't, but monkies might!

But bonkey, while the ceiling has 4 corners and the floor has 4 corners, the room only has 4 corners (would you count the 4 corners on the door and the 16 on the walls?).

well concidering there are 12 months in a year, both answers are the same!!!!!!!

but to be honest that is what threw me at the beginning!!! i was waiting to see the word all of them instead of a number!!!!!!!

Not quite, the question is open ended and since the adotpion of the Gregorian (western) calender, every month has had at least 28 days. So 12 doesn't reflect the whole answer

Fi the riddle-bot!

Makaveli · 14-04-2002 9:28pm

Ok not to sound like a broken record here but please look at my reply directly under those original questions.
It's a quote of the riddles with the answers under them.
I believe I wrote "All of them".

Um how about you think about it as a riddle before you deside that its a stupid statment?
not that it was ment as a riddle at the time.
in a moral and logical sense how is God more evil than the Devil...
give me a while and i'll phrase a riddle about it.
also no need to take it to hart so much ... and you've sort of taken it out of context ... as it followed the point about the poor not having nothing ...

I never was, am always to be,
No one ever saw me, nor ever will
And yet I am the confidence of all
To live and breathe on this terrestrial ball
[What am I]

The beginning of eternity
The end of time and space
The beginning of every end,
And the end of every place.
[What am I]

They're not that hard but I like riddles that are sorta poetic...

fi · 14-04-2002 11:47pm

the first one is AIR????? oxygen??

the second one is the letter E

Cerberus · 14-04-2002 11:59pm

Your second anwser is correct but not the first...

The letter "E".

fi · 15-04-2002 6:06pm

here is one you can have several answers to

What question can you never answer "yes" to?

Victor · 15-04-2002 6:24pm

Like "Are you dead?" - you could say yes, you would just be lying about it.

yes this is right but there are a few more one excelent one, can u get 2 more and i will tell you what i thought were other good answers?

Cerberus · 15-04-2002 6:37pm

aye victor..thats the anwser.

fi..questions
"Are you a mute?" / "Have you taken an oath of silence?"
"Are you dead?"
"Do you always tell lies?" (dodgy one)
"Do you really think Andrea Corr is ugly?"
"Do you own a westlife cd?"
"Do you answer "no" to every question?"

fi · 15-04-2002 6:49pm

very good well done

another one you could add is say to someone called John, is your name Mary?

are you asleep?

what is the opposite of yes?

Victor · 15-04-2002 6:51pm

"Can you not answer this question?"

Your trans-sexual husband had an adulterous, gay, incestuous relationship with his trans-sexual brother with the same name, that resulted in a baby girl!!!! That they called Andrew! Thats not genetically possible

What would have been wrong with Andrea?

lol lets go with x husband shall we!!!!!

and with that family gawd knows!!!!

if it was sunday you could ask is it monday?

Cerberus · 15-04-2002 7:15pm

They are all well and good but the problem with ours is that they can all be answered yes to. Nothing is stopping the person from lying or giving a false anwser. I presume there is one question that cannot physically be answered by "yes"......I would think anyway.

well what is the opposite of yes? i think is a deffinate although one may lie it is false so doesnt count?

dont you agree?

Cerberus · 15-04-2002 7:37pm

Thats my point...there is loads of answers where "yes" can't be said because it would be a lie or an untruth. What I am saying is that there is probably a question that cannot have an answer "yes" ie impossible for it to be "yes".
Maybe something along the lines of -
"If you attempt to answer "yes" to the next question then the sensors we have on your brain will detect it before u can say it and a razor blade will cut your vocal cords"

Anyways...it doesn't matter.

fi · 15-04-2002 11:48pm

ok i got another one tonight for you

Saturday and Sunday have a big one
Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday have a little one
and Monday and Friday have none

what am i?

EL_Diablo · 16-04-2002 1:01am

One question where yes cannot be the answer is "What time is it?"
The letter S is the answer to the days of the week one.

What is the one word in the English language that when capitalized takes on an entire different meaning?

Victor · 16-04-2002 6:06pm

I'm sure there are many. "Death" (the persona) and "death" (the event) would be an example.

no i think he means it takes on a different meaning, i had another one but i have been concentrating on this one i have forgotten my one!!!!

Cerberus · 16-04-2002 6:29pm

Polish
polish

Entirely different when capitalized whereas "death" and "Death" more or less refer to the same thing
