Baron Samedi Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 [size=1]I said it was similar, not the same thing. There are a fair few of those "Truth or Lie" ones. :) Oh, and sundial isn't the right answer either, heh.[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panda Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 [QUOTE=Baron Samedi][size=1]When I point up it's bright, but when I point down it's dark. What am I?[/size][/QUOTE] You are a lightswitch! Now since it is almost 3:30am here. I am going to post my riddle and put the answer under a spoiler tag. I am sure someone will try an answer this one before I get back to check on the responses. No cheating, be honest and try to answer it then look at the correct answer. Hopefully this one hasn't been asked yet! Different lights do make me strange, thus into different sizes I will change. What am I? Answer: [spoiler]YOU BETTER NOT BE CHEATING! Now if you really want to know the answer it is the pupil of the eye. Bright light or dim light will make it change sizes.[/spoiler] I am off to sleep...zzzz :sleep: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delta Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 [COLOR=#B33D79][SIZE=1][quote name='Lore][color=#ff6600']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.[/color][/quote]The simple answer would be "Sunday is their day off." They put on their bikinis, go to the beach and sip pina coladas 'til 12:01 am the next day. Couldn't resist replying. :D @ Panda: [b]Reflections[/b], maybe? *goes off to check the answer* Ngrgh.[/SIZE][/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sara Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 [color=#ff6600]The answer to mine is indeed [spoiler]compromise[/spoiler]. Here is another, similar one. I saw it in a Mindware catalogue several years ago, and it haunted me, literally, for years until one day--poof! I understood it! I have also posted this one before (what can I say, I exhausted all my favorite riddles in a different thread some time ago. :)) [b]Alone I am a cliff Something like a knoll With por I am mush Sitting in a bowl.

Sakura Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 [color=navy]@Junkobakaiba: It's your mother. The ending part is the place to look for the answer. In other words, it's your maternal auntie's husband, whose sister in law has to be your mother since it said 'mother's only sister'.[/color] [color=#000080][/color] [color=#000080]Here's a new riddle for you.[/color] [color=#000080][/color] [color=navy][b] I'm neither here nor there, an in-between place.

Oh by the way, I looked up the answer to yours, but I won't say the answer until more people have tried. Here is a riddle I was told as a child, but it is metaphorical, so it might be a bit hard . I find it a bit corny but meh: There is this "land", the "inhabitants" of the land are black "people", the "grass" is very green, and the "sky" is red. The "people" are floating, stuck up in the "sky". What is this "land"?[/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
