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?
My life can be measured in hours,
I serve by being devoured.
Thin, I am quick
Fat, I am slow
Wind is my foe.
What am I?
@DarkWolf is it a candle?
@AmalieAnne
Yes, it is!
@DarkWolf yay I got one
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?
It cannot be seen, it weighs nothing, but when put into a barrel, it makes it lighter. What is it?
@DarkWolf Just a random silly guess but helium, like it would make the barrel lighter kind of.
@AmalieAnne
That's a very interesting guess, and you are technically correct.
The original answer is a little bit more obvious, which is 'a hole'.
@DarkWolf I tried doing that to myself but I got told off. I would like to float a little but it "dangerous"
The owner of the butcher shop is five foot ten inches tall, has brown hair and wears size 11 1/2 shoes. He is married and has two children, one boy and one girl. What does he weigh?
Oops, I already posted this riddle before. Let's do another one:
I dig out tiny caves, and store gold and silver in them.
I also build bridges of silver and make crowns of gold.
They are the smallest you could imagine.
Sooner or later everybody needs my help, yet many people are afraid to let me help them. Who am I?
What can travel around the world while staying in a corner?
