I love riddles so I thought I'd see if a riddle thread would endure.

RULES:

Whoever answers the riddle correctly earns the right to post a new riddle, else of course they can pass and whatever riddle gets posted first becomes the next to solve.


Riddle #1:

What has no eyes, no ears, and no mouth yet always tells the truth?

A very honest biscuit?

(or maybe a mirror?)

A bullet.

CORRECT !!!! (So soon )

Hahahaha...

Now your turn apech if you can ....

I entered the mirror before I saw the other entry. Must have mirrored it in my mind.


Here's a classic sophism:

A man from Crete asserts all men from Crete are liars and always tell lies no matter what they say. Is he telling the truth?

I was in Crete a few months ago. They're not ALL liars

Is he telling the truth? No. Some men on Crete are liars.

I've been to Crete, fun island.

Riddles Rattle Rickety Pickets

There is a little mystic clock,
No human eye hath seen;
That beateth on- and beateth on,
From morning until e’en….”

“It increases and decreases,
And no-one sees it.
It is not a fire,
And yet it can be quenched.”

Nice ... OK

If he, a man from Crete, is not telling the truth, he's confirming the truth of what he's saying, i.e. he is lying. And what he, a Cretan, is saying is that Cretans don't tell the truth. If it's a lie, then he, a man from Crete who says men from Crete don't tell the truth, is lying. Which confirms the truth of what he is saying about men from Crete. And so on. It's a paradox, see...

I like it ... reminds me of the scene with two doors from the "Labyrinth".

Now Spectrum has the floor (????)

Mojo?

Ha ... "TIME"

Yes?

Heart!

Spectrum ??? Yay or nay?

Down and out,
These poor sods,
Follow a road,
That cannot be spoken of.

Two riddles which form a phrase.

Heart is close on the first part, but not a direct hit.
Without giving it away directly pronounce the phonetic opposite of 'luna'

The second part you would feel in the desert wishing for an oasis.

Anal thirst ??? (somehow I'm hoping this is wrong )

There is a little mystic clock,
No human eye hath seen;
That beateth on- and beateth on,
From morning until e’en….”

Soul


“It increases and decreases,
And no-one sees it.
It is not a fire,
And yet it can be quenched.”

Thirst

arggh !!

Ok you still have the floor Spectrum ... you have the right for another riddle.

Seeing you asked:

What cheese is made backwards?

To live and breathe on this terrestrial ball.

Faith ?

Nope!

No legs have i to dance,
No lungs have I to breathe,
No life have I to live or die
And yet I do all three.

What am I?

A Tree?

Nope!

No Life! Ahja!

Nope!

How about .... fire?????

The Wind?

Various seed pods that are dried and dead but carry life as independent entities separate from their own form and substance, and are carried dancing along by wind, water, animals, us: think of burrs. Many are triggered by some environmental stimulus to mechanically click open, exhale, and expel the seeds contained within at the rights time or place: think of pine-cones.

Woohoo! Correct!
