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?

That's the right answer @HalliwellSister and @BurkeDevlin, it is a book! yes

DarkWolf OP November 19th, 2016

As I went through the garden gap,

Who should I meet but Dick Red-cap!

A stick in his hand, a stone in his throat,

If you'll tell me this riddle, I'll give you a groat.

What am I?

@AnushaKayastha

That's a very good guess! But not the answer I'm searching for. And to clarify.. I actually don't want to know who the person is.. but the thing described in the riddle.

I will leave the last riddle open.. let's continue with the next one for the time being.

Twas the giantess who told me what to do.
Twas she who opened the doors,
And close the windows. Not I.
Twas her who decided the chair did well on the lawn.
And the table should be in the basement.
I have done naught to deserve punishment,
For I did not place the dog on the lamp,
Nor the cat in the chimney.
Twas the giantess.

What's going on here?

We are playing riddles in this topic (looks at hardest riddle question again angel), but this time I was talking about what's happening in the riddle, not in this topic wink. Clever answer though, but not right.

A man was found dead with a cassette recorder in one hand and a gun in the other. When the police came in, they immediately pressed the play button on the cassette. He said "I have nothing else to live for. I can't go on," then the sound of a gunshot. After listening to the cassette tape, the police knew that it was not a suicide, but a homicide. How did they know?

@DarkWolf the murderer stopped the record? :)

@letsalljoinhands

You are close, but not quite there. The actual murdered did something else than just to stop the record.

@DarkWolf Oh, so stupid, the murderer recorded it himself? (really hope I'm not embarrassing myself at this point hah)

It's possible, but not yet the answer I'm looking for. There is a more obvious answer ^^

@DarkWolf

Someone had to have rewound the tape in order for the police to hear the message immediately upon pushing play. And that obviously couldn't have been the victim.

In another generation or so, this riddle will confound people. :)

@DarkWolf

it is Bill!!

DarkWolf OP November 20th, 2016

@HalliwellSister

It is!

If you read the message upside down, you'll notice that the numbers resemble letters and that those letters form legible sentences. The message is 'Bill is boss. He sells oil.'

My first is in blood and also in battle,
My second is in acorn, oak, and apple,
My third and fourth are both the same,
In the center of sorrow and twice in refrain,
My fifth starts eternity ending here,
My last is the first of last, Oh dear!

Can you figure out what it is?
