if I can't figure it out in 5 minutes, i can't figure it out
Lol, short attention span?
no, if I can't figure it out in 5 mintues, then I can't figure it out. i've only encountered one riddle that took me longer than 5 minutes i think it was something roses. had to do with dices kek
Sigh, and i so thought i'd got it, because sand MOVES like liquid...
Coko is right..

I knew it was glass
DT_Battlekruser just got there before me

- If there are 5 apples on the counter and you take away 2, how many do you have?
Five, you still have the three on the counter.
Or two, because your holding two.
Allright smart guy, What has eyes but can't see?
Ummm, supposing that I don't own the apples on the counter, and supposing that the apples I took away are the ONLY apples I have, the answer would be 2. Wtfage... what kind of riddle is that?
Here's another one:
My initials are the same as Mary Jane
I sleep with little boys
I got arrested for sleeping with little boys
I am half plastic
My songs suck
I debuted on with the Jackson 5
I used to be male but no more
My songs suck
I'm part black part white
Who am I?
That has to be the toughest one yet.
How about this one? It's tougher yet.
Whose in charge of the United States of America?
And here's the big toughie:
If Christians believe non-Christians go to Hell, Jews believe non-Jews go to Hell, and Muslims believe non-Muslims go to Hell, How is Hitler smarter than Bush?
*Btw if you notice how I'm mocking your riddles I'll give you 10 minerals*
*Btw2 if you notice this is the biggest load of bullcrap I'll give you nothing*
*Btw3 if you don't notice this is the biggest load of bullcrap I'll laugh at you*
-Oh yes, here is one more riddle that makes me wonder...
Why do the best claim they do not want a competition and that they simply do what they do to make an impression?
-Because they're the best! *cough tuxie cough* Oh yeah, Tux, I must say your StarCraft version of last alliance thoroughly sucked. *sorry, but I'm overly critical of LotR maps*
Okay, as I'm totally off topic now. Here is an example of your flawed riddles.
86X/45X2(X/18-4X)= What?
This isn't a freaking riddle; it's a math problem.
You people claim you're so smart, but there are two categories of "riddles" in this thread: mathematical and trivia
That glass one was pretty decent but still not many people know it is a liquid. A good riddle has a simple answer, but that answer requires thinking. Try, try again.
There, I've put my 2 cents in for the day.
*Being tired I just write to write. Thinking of nothing else, I attempt to squander your precious time. You are scared, running from the inevitable. Battle.net is falling apart because women are not in abundance. As the swan mates with the duck, I am Chinese* What is strange about this paragraph? Don't say the lack of an indentation or ending punctuation. If StarCraft Armies was based off of quality of post, I'd be losing money right now : )
-Ah yes, in response to Kenoli: a bat -=OR=- any blind animal
-Ummm, you didn't specify organic eyes, so any non-animal with eyes
-People in pictures can't see anything
-Dead animals can't see
-Bush on the road to Iraq *yes! more Bush bashing!*
-Me after staring at the computer screen for 16 hours a day!

Theres a man going into a heavily gauded garden. It's gaurded because it has a very rare apple tree inside it that produces Golden Apples. Now this man is a theif wanting to take those apples, but there are seven guards posted on each "Layer" of the garden. He goes to the first guard saying, "If you let me through, I will give you half of my share that I get, but only if you give me one apple back". The guard being half-witted, accepts this deal. The theif does that with each and every guard, untill he reaches the Tree. Now, Based on What he promised the guards, and that he will follow through with his promise, How many apples will he take to exit the garden with the same number of Golden Apples as he started with?
Answers to mina riddles.
The woods one: Splinter
Other one: Roman Numerals
Explanation of the riddle:
The last name has eight letters (NUMERALS) while the first or given name has five (ROMAN).
Using each of the numerals once gives MDCLXVI, which is 1,666.
C ( which is found in Cow) is first of the seven in the alphabet while X ( which is found in oXen) is last.
Three of seven are found in DaMseL. Three are also found in VIXen.

0!

A dying father of 2 sons needs to decide how to pass down the rest of his money.
What is the most fair way to distribute the money?
[The answer is not about splitting the money in half]
Ummm he takes 2 apples. That way, he gives 1 apple to the guards, but they give one back. And Pinecone, your riddle is a guessing game, not a riddle. Give it to charity!
What card am I holding?

If you're paddling down stream and a tire falls off, how many pancakes fit in a doghouse?
Ok since this is hard Ill give you the answer. The answer is: None!! Icecream doesnt have bones!!
Ok heres another one.
If your plan is having no plan, do you have a plan?
I dont know the answer to that..
Yeah because it is your plan to have no plan. Just because you have a plan doesn't mean you have acomplished it.
I can plan to be the richest man in the world, doesn't mean it has happened.
Unless you are just that good at planning that is.
Here's an a few easy ones,
What happened in 1961 that wont happen again for over 4000 years?
What goes around the world but stays in a corner?
What is it that you can catch but not throw?
I am as light as a feather, but no man can hold me for more than a minute. What am I?
I am weightless, but you can see me. Put me in a bucket, and I'll make it lighter. What am I?
I have holes in my top and bottom, my left and right, and in the middle. But I still hold water. What am I?
Give me food, and I will live; give me water, and I will die. What am I?
Throw it off the highest building, and I'll not break. But put me in the ocean, and I will. What am I?
No sooner spoken than broken. What is it?
A certain crime is punishable if attempted but not punishable if committed. What is it?
What stinks in living, but in death smells good?
More than a few eh?
