Baron Samedi Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 [size=1]Elfpirate has my riddle right. I have no idea what planet you're living on though, junkobakaiba. Logic is teh shizz, lol. My riddle: Alice is walking throught the forest of forgetfulness. She wants to know what day of the week it is. She stops and asks a lion and a unicorn. Now the lion lies all of the time on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. The unicorn always lies on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Alice asks the lion what day it is, he says, "Well yesterday was one of my lieing days." Well Alice cant figure it out just from the Lions answer so she asks the unicorn and the unicorn says, "Yesterday was also one of my lieing days." What day is it?[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2010DigitalBoy Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 that one was easy, baron, and elfpirate must be right, but I have to make a new riddle. I have one that Im not sure is a riddle, but it drove me insane trying to fiigure it out. My best friend's brother is marrying my cousin's friend. My cousin's friend has 3 sisters, Carla, Dana, and Marsha. Marsha likes my best friend but my cousin's friend thinks that isn't right. My best friend's brother is marrying Susie. Susie is best friends with David. David is Carter's only cousin. Carter has a best friend named Victor. Dana thinks I should date her, and Carla likes my other friend Carl. Carl is best friends with Shawn. Shawn likes Marsha but Marsha doesn't like him. Who am I? Who is my cousin? Who is my best friend? Who is my best friends brother? Who is he marrying? Who are her sisters? Who do her sisters like? Who is my other friend? Who is his brother? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sara Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 [QUOTE=Baron Samedi][size=1] My riddle: Alice is walking throught the forest of forgetfulness. She wants to know what day of the week it is. She stops and asks a lion and a unicorn. Now the lion lies all of the time on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. The unicorn always lies on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.[/b][/size][/QUOTE][color=#ff6600]I never understood the point of these lie-truth riddles. They're always presented with some story, but the story almost never makes sense. There's an island where half the people always tell the truth, and half always lie. Now, who came up with that idea? The island just sit down to a council meeting one day and decide half of them were never going to tell the truth again? The story usually qualifies that it's exactly half and half--well for goodness sake, who keeps tabs on that? You can't tell the two groups apart, for goodness sake--half the time, the entire riddle is simply to find out who is who. Of course, sometimes we up the stakes a bit--Sarah comes across a pair of doors in the Labyrinth and is told (of course!) that one always lies, and one always tells the truth. Well, she needs to go through one off the doors, of course, but--gasp!--one leads to certain doom, or some such thing. Alice is wandering in the forest and wants to know what day it is. Okay...she comes across a Lion and a Unicorn. Check. Now, how on earth does she know that each of them lies on certain days of the week? And how on [i]earth[/i] does she know which days? That's three riddles right there, for goodness sake. Not only that, but this never even specifies that on the days that on animal [i]always[/i] lies, the other always tells the truth. Suppose the unicorn has to lie, but the lion's feeling like a bit of a bastard and wants to get in on the action as well? What happens on Sundays? Do they both tell the truth? Do they both lie? Do they both do whatever the heck they feel like? Perhaps they turn into doves and fly away. Maybe there are no Sundays in the Forest of Forgetfulness. (For that matter, how do they remember which days are their lying days?) if you must erase, erase completely, Sara[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sakura Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 [color=Navy]Sara, I think the word is 'Promise'. Com[i]promise [/i]etc[i].[/i] If that's correct, then here's another riddle. This one may confuse some people, so we'll see.[/color] [color=Navy] A princess is kidnapped by her cruel uncle, who has planned for her to marry one of his two sons. He gave her an ultimatum - she was to make a solitary statement. If what she said was true, she was to marry her elder cousin johans the Vain, however, if what she said was false, she was to marry the younger son Derek the Dismal. What did she say which allowed her to remain a single girl and explain why? And the answer has to have something about one of the sons in it.
