Rabish Bini Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 Here we can post our riddles and see if we can outsmart every Ahtonaut here. I'll start. A man is ship-wrecked on a desert island. The only things he has in his possession are a flint, a can of lighter fuel, a penknife and a packet of cigarettes. How could he make a cigarette lighter?

CountVerilucus Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 90? Person 1 makes something and sells it to person 2. Person 2 gives it to person 3. Person 3 has it and has put it to use, but doesnt know it. What did person 1 make? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ET Warrior Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 Well...the answer is a coffin, but generally it goes "The person who makes it doesn't want it, the person who buys it doesn't use it, and the person that uses it doesn't know it." Or something to that affect. I've no riddles off the top of my head, though almost any riddle one can come up with these days is actually an old riddle that most people know...so riddle threads always seem futile.

SithRevan Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 I was never good at math so I would have to go with 12 but I am not sure about that answer. I do have a riddle for you guys though...

Hayden Kered Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 A man is ship-wrecked on a desert island. The only things he has in his possession are a flint, a can of lighter fuel, a penknife and a packet of cigarettes. How could he make a cigarette lighter? How ever it would be done it will not work. The penknife will more than likely be made of stainless steel and if so, flint and stainless steel can not produce a spark. It must be plain steel to work. What do you get if you divide 40 by a half and add 10 to the result? 1.) 40/0.5+10= 90 2.) 0.5/40+10= 10.0125 RIDDLE Investigators are at a crime scene. A woman was found dead on her bed with a pair of scissors next to her. The reports showed that the body did not have any cuts, stab wounds, marks, or bruises any where. How did she die?

The Seeker Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 Heh, movie buffs should get this one: As I was going to St. Ives, I met a man with seven wives every wife had seven sacks every sack had seven cats every cat had seven kittens kittens cats sacks and wives how many went to St. Ives? Bonus if you name the movie it came from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentScope001 Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 As I was going to St. Ives, I met a man with seven wives every wife had seven sacks every sack had seven cats every cat had seven kittens kittens cats sacks and wives how many went to St. Ives? One. Only I went to St. Ives. However, I do not consider the riddle sequence in KOTOR1 (in the Mysterious Box) to be part of a movie. But I have heard it before, so I assume it is quite common. [since KOTOR is not a movie, I do not get the bonus, sorry...] Can't think of any riddles right now, but I will later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark_Lady Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 I don't know what movie it came from, but one person was going to St. Ives, the one who's telling the riddle. The people he met were going away from St. Ives. Or, you could say none, assuming that the speaker isn't a kitten, cat, sack, or wife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
