Riddles!
This topic is about short riddles, because not everyone likes to do the larger logical puzzles. If you do like those, then click here.
If you've guessed the riddle, you can immediately post another one yourself. Let's keep it going.
I will start with this riddle:
What is easy to get into, but hard to get out of?
What word becomes shorter when you add two letters to it?
A man makes a claim that he can predict the exact score of every football game, before it begins. And he's always right. How's that possible?
@DarkWolf he is the score board :P
A man left home running. He ran a ways and then turned left, ran the same distance and turned left again, ran the same distance and turned left again. When he got home there were two masked men. Who were they?
@DarkWolf
the burglars he was running from?
@Rycochet That was exactly my immediate response as well! Great minds think alike-- and so do ours!
A woman shoots her husband. She then puts him underwater for 5 minutes. Finally, she hangs him. 5 minutes later, they both go and enjoy a nice dinner. How is this possible?
@DarkWolf I'm guessing she takes her husband's picture, (not sure what the water part is about), then hangs the picture?
@floatingonatidalwave Wait, is the water part talking about developing the picture? Hmm...
@floatingonatidalwave
Exactly! A very old-fashioned kind of photograph(er)
@DarkWolf some are certainly old-school
it's part of it, but there is a step missing... you develop the negatives and hang them to dry, then you develop the photos and hang them to dry...
@DarkWolf
yep it sounds like it's a picture 🤔
New riddle:
You have a single match and are in a pitch black room with a candle, an oil lamp and a gas stove. Which do you light first?
@DarkWolf
hmmm is this a trick question? 🤔 you would light the match, no?
Wow you are so fast! haha
@Openarms5
Yes, this one was answered really fast!
@DarkWolf I'm very passionate about riddles, I guess XD
This time I will post something a bit different. What word can you make out of the image below??
@DarkWolf
it reminds me of playing card haha. I am lost.
@Openarms5
I thought this one was really difficult too. If nobody guesses it, I will start giving hints.
@DarkWolf This one is tough! Hints may be needed.
@floatingonatidalwave
Hint 1: 2 letters in this image are really 'high'.
@DarkWolf There's a high J and a high K if you mean position wise...hm.
^^ things that make you go, hmmm
@DarkWolf
Hijacking?
@crimsonField6694
YES CrimsonField! That's it!
@DarkWolf Woosh! The sound of that one going right over my head :)
@floatingonatidalwave
When you said this: 'There's a high J and a high K', I almost thought you were about to get it.
@DarkWolf I didn't even come close to putting it together though, congrats to Crimson :D
@crimsonField6694
*crowns the king/queen of riddles* ;-; Well done!
@Openarms5
Thank you! It just hit me like a train with the clue. :)
@DarkWolf FLUSH
I will sneak in some more of this kinds of riddles in the future. For now a normal riddle again, instead of a rebus:
I am the beginning of the end, and the end of time and space. I am essential to creation, and I surround every place. What am I?
A man sees a boat that is full of people. And yet there isnt a single person on the boat. How is this possible? (credit to CrimsonField6694 for this riddle)
@DarkWolf all the people on the boat were married
@Dolphinlover
Yes, that's the correct answer! All of them are married.
If you have it, you want to share it. If you share it, you don't have it anymore. What is it?
@DarkWolf
A secret. Shhh. ;)
