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?
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?
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?
@DarkWolf we play riddles?
@mikhaela
We are playing riddles in this topic (looks at hardest riddle question again ), but this time I was talking about what's happening in the riddle, not in this topic . 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
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. :)
@letsalljoinhands
It's possible, but not yet the answer I'm looking for. There is a more obvious answer ^^
@DarkWolf
Because they had to press play? Someone turned it off after the gun shot
@Compassionatelistener108
Sorry about the repetition. I thought it would be rewinding the tape ):
@Compassionatelistener108
That's ok, and that was right
@DarkWolf
Awww, thank you! 😀

A time when they're green, a time when they're brown, But both of these times, cause me to frown. But just in between, for a very short while, They're perfect and yellow, and cause me to smile!
What is it?
@DarkWolf is it autumn?
@mikhaela
Good and interesting guess, but not the answer I'm looking for yet.
@DarkWolf then could it be a ripe mango or any fruit in yellow color when it's ripe (hope this is not a funny answer to consider)
@mikhaela
Haha you are right, it's a banana
(not the best picture, but will do )
What kind of cheese is made backwards?
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?
