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?
Very challenging riddles!
You are walking down a path and reach a fork in the road. At the fork there are two people waiting. They tell you that only one path is safe and you can ask just one of them one question to find out which. The catch is, one will always tell you the truth and the other will always tell you a lie, but you don't know which is which.
What do you ask to find the right path?
@BellasHuman
Ask one of the 2 what the other person would answer to the question what the safe path is. It doesn't matter who you ask it too, either one of them will point you towards the unsafe path. So just take the other path then they tell you to, and you'll be safe
@DarkWolf Correct! Well done :)
@BellasHuman
Reminds me of the film The Labrynth. The same question was in it. It's a good one ;)
@Lola32 I first found it in a book, can't remember what it was called :) It's my favourite riddle
What is as ancient as the earth but new every month?
@DarkWolf The moon?
@BellasHuman
Yes!
@DarkWolf Not to be a totally nerdy geography buzzkill or anything, but the moon was formed eons after the Earth was, from bits of it post-asteroid crash, and from parts of the exploded asteroid as well. Just sayin'... Philosophically the riddle works, but it is not exactly true. Yet, still fun to think about.
An Arab sheikh tells his two sons to race their camels to a distant city to see who will inherit his fortune. The one whose camel is slower wins. After wandering aimlessly for days, the brothers ask a wise man for guidance. Upon receiving the advice, they jump on the camels and race to the city as fast as they can.
What did the wise man say to them?
A robber tried to steal the crown jewels. He got caught by the King's guards and was taken to the king. The King was feeling generous that day and asked the robber how he wanted to die. A few minutes later the king let the robber go alive.
How did the robber ask to die?
Looking at my face, I'm no more than six.
Look at the rest of me and I'm 21.
You'll see my twin and me in Las Vegas.
Say my name and you'd be uttering a threat.
What am I?
