Title: Riddles
Post by: dobby888 on August 8, 2008, 08:57:18 AM
If you know any riddles just post them here and then when you figure out the answer to one just say it!

Here's one:

If you have two buckets, one is a 3 gallon and one is a 5 gallon.  You also have a hose.  How do you make exactly 4 gallons if you don't have anything to measure with but the buckets?

oooo, i got one!!!!
you are in a concrete room with no windows or doors. All that is in the room is a mirror and a table. How do you get out?

and i think i might have the answer to the first riddle. you take the hose and messure thirds of the three gallon bucket, then that will give you one gallon per part. So you add the three gallon bucket and one gallon together?

Post by: potter_fan122 on August 17, 2008, 08:17:04 AM
I`ll just tell you what it was, because it is kinda hard. the riddle was: you`r ein a room with no windows or doors, all that is in the room is a mirror and a table. how do you get out?

the answer is: look in the mirror, see what you saw, take the saw, cut the table in half, put the halves together to make a hole, and jump thru the hole!!!

an open umbrella!!!!! i still gots more........
Title: Re: Riddles
Post by: I loves YOUz on August 17, 2008, 09:14:49 AM
That doesn't make any sense... why would you put an umbrella up a chimney?
Title: Re: Riddles
Post by: potter_fan122 on August 17, 2008, 09:17:39 AM
because you can push the open umbrella up the chimney, but when it goes out the top, it cant come back down unless you break it.
Title: Re: Riddles
Post by: ~Harry Potter~ on August 17, 2008, 09:38:59 AM
Potterfan kind of mudered the umbrella riddle. 

I heard it this way.

"What can go up a chimney down but not down a chimney up?"


Oh and the answer to Fudge's is a Quarater and a Nickle.  One of the coins is not a nickle, the quarater is not a nickle. 
Title: Re: Riddles
Post by: I loves YOUz on August 17, 2008, 09:41:19 AM

Fill the 5 gallon with water and pour what can fit in the 3 gallon.

3 Gallon--3 Gallons
5 Gallon--2 Gallons

Pour out what is in the 3 Gallon

3 Gallon--0 Gallons
5 Gallon--2 Gallons

Pour the 5 Gallon into the 3 Gallon

3 Gallon--2 Gallons
5 Gallon--0 Gallons

Fill up the 5 Gallon once more

3 Gallon--2 Gallons
5 Gallon--5 Gallons

Pour what you can from the 5 Gallon into the 3 Gallon

3 Gallon--3 Gallons
5 Gallon--4 Gallons

Post by: I loves YOUz on August 17, 2008, 10:14:06 AM
How long did it take you to get the right answer?


Your on an island and with you, you have A goat A wolf and a Cabbage
You want to get all three things all the other island
and you have a two person boat. Which mean you and one of the things.
The Wolf will eat the goat if left alone with it
and the goat will eat the cabbage if left alone with it
How do you get all three things to the other island..
Title: Re: Riddles
Post by: potter_fan122 on August 17, 2008, 10:21:46 AM
ummm, i kew the answer, but i forgot!

ummmm, you take the goat and take it to the other island, then come back and get the cabbage, go back and switch the cabbage for the goat, take the goat back to the first island, switch it for the wolf, thake the wolf to the second island, go to the first and pick up the goat?
Title: Re: Riddles

If you have two buckets, one is a 3 gallon and one is a 5 gallon.  You also have a hose.  How do you make exactly 4 gallons if you don't have anything to measure with but the buckets?

Someone still has to answer this one correctly.

water?

If you have a saw, a rope, and a tree, what can you do?
Title: Re: Riddles
Post by: Lola_La_Fringe7 on August 24, 2008, 04:28:26 AM

Title: Re: Riddles
Post by: dobby888 on August 24, 2008, 12:53:03 PM
Gruesome much?

Ok so here's one

there's a river that runs all the way around the world.  And you have a friend on the other side of the river.  This friend has medicine that you need in twenty minutes.  There are pirates that will take anything that crosses the river unless it's locked.  Also, you can't cross the river unless it's Saturday which was yesterday. You have a machine that makes boxes, gold locks, and gold keys.  Your friend has a machine that makes boxes, silver locks, and silver keys.  A silver key can only unlock a silver lock and a gold key can only unlock a gold lock.  How do you get the medicine?
Title: Re: Riddles
Post by: Sky on August 24, 2008, 02:00:19 PM
You summon the last of your strength and threaten to torture those pirates in such macabre, that they will escape to a far away place. Then your friend sends the medicine in a box.





I make up my own answers. Screw the real ones.
Title: Re: Riddles
Post by: potter_fan122 on August 25, 2008, 03:04:54 AM
yea, really, or your friend could throw the medicine at you and hope you catch it.
