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. yes

I will start with this riddle:

What is easy to get into, but hard to get out of?

I bear the name of clansmen proud and free

My saw-edged teeth cut better than a tear

From me you take a binding hard to see

I spin around a hub that isn't there

What am I?

I always leave as fast as I arrive, never staying longer than I am welcome. You can see better with me around yet you're unable to feel or see me. I have not a beginning nor an end, as I have always been. I can fill a room completely without taking up any space. I am formless yet I have many different forms.

What am I?

(p.s. I spent like 2 hours coming up with a brand new riddle so I hope this boggles a few minds, if not, at least I got to share it with everyone)

@brenndansouthwind

Because I've seen close to every riddle that's written somewhere online because of searching for them for this topic.. it would be a bit unfair for me to answer right away. So I won't answer unless nobody else answer/nobody gets the right answer.

It's really awesome you came up with this riddle yourself though laugh.

@DarkWolf thank you. It wouldn't bother me if you answered immediately but I understand that others should have a chance to guess.

@brenndansouthwind Is it light?

1 reply
brenndansouthwind October 27th, 2016

@BurkeDevlin that's correct! Good job. Even though it's all around us, just like breathable air, we take it for granted. It is essential to modern human life. It drives us to self-fulfillment during the day and it serves to guide us in dark times and places. Light is so much more important than we're aware, just give it some extra thought the next time you're watching the night sky or tanning under the sun

I have a new riddle but I think it's really difficult, so I will be quite impressed if someone gets this.

I have one hand, one head, four feet,

A tail, some teeth to tear my meat.

Three bands I've been in: busted two.

Now, is my name yet known to you?

@DarkWolf bragging only alienates others. Wouldn't feel right but thanks that one was quite a stretch from the other riddles

@brenndansouthwind

You are right, but it's mainly just giving you a compliment more than I would expect you to brag for like 10 comments cheeky

DarkWolf OP October 27th, 2016

You are in a room with 4 white walls, with no windows. You are sat at a small table in the middle of the room. There is a man at the opposite side of the table. He says to you "There is a statue behind you. You have 24 hours to look at it without turning around. At the end of the 24 hours, I will ask you how you managed to do it."

The man then goes silent, and stares at you for the next 24 hours.

How can you see the statue?

@brenndansouthwind I'll stick with the natural disasters theme and guess a volcano.

brenndansouthwind October 28th, 2016

@BurkeDevlin righto! I'm only good at personification of nature and it's disasters, so I'll try to think of something harder. It may take me a while cuz I'm pretty much making It from scratch

The ground gave way when it opened its mouth to speak, no words were spoken but a sound of thunder. The corners of its mouth extend to the horizon on either side, baring its gnarled gnashing teeth to reveal a cracked smile with no expression. Its massive jaws grind stone to dust, and pulverize wood to tender pulp. The beast stirs, shaking large structures and their foundations, glass shatters, concrete crunches, supports snap. The beast does not breathe nor sleep nor hunger, It can demolish cities, topple cars, ruin lives, and leave nothing left in its wake.

Of what do I speak?
