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?

Here's another one I just made up.

Be careful to not let me fall, Im quite fragile.

To prevent this you can even hold me by the neck, I wont mind.

Im allergic to water and to quick changes in temperature/humidity too.

But if you take care of me well I could become, like good wine, better with age.

Just know that Im always tense, and its very easy to wind me up.

Although I wont mind it too much if you pick on me.

My favorite number is six.. although sometimes its actually 12.

Now tell me.. can you figure out who/what I am?

DarkWolf OP November 28th, 2016

Lets go on with a new original riddle while we wait to see if Mikhaela's newest answer is correct.

Most take me hot, although some prefer cold.

Some people are finished in 5 minutes.. some in 50.

You can do it in the morning, although some people insist on only doing it at night.

Although some people do it together, for most its more of a private thing.

What is it?

DarkWolf OP December 20th, 2016

I came up with another silly little riddle:

I can protect your items when they are shipped, for a short or a long time.

Though Im mostly transparent, I still work fine.

I can be re-used after your child is done with me, although then I will protect less well.

Do you know what I am? Do any of these hint ring a bell?

DarkWolf OP December 20th, 2016

A man hijacks an aeroplane transporting both passengers (8 of them) and valuable cargo. After taking the cargo, the man demands nine parachutes, puts one of them on, and jumps, leaving the other eight behind. Why did he want nine parachutes?

BurkeDevlin December 20th, 2016

@DarkWolf Did he damage the other eight so no one could jump out after him?

DarkWolf OP December 20th, 2016

@BurkeDevlin

This particular hijacker only thinks about his own well-being.. he doesn't really care what happens to the others. So.. this is not the answer I'm looking for.

DarkWolf OP December 20th, 2016

@DarkWolf

He doesn't care if others jump after him or not, he just wants to get down safely, with his valuables.

BurkeDevlin December 20th, 2016

@DarkWolf Well, my thought was that no one could follow and catch him....but I'll keep thinking.

DarkWolf OP December 20th, 2016

@BurkeDevlin

That's reasoning is 100% understandable.. it's just not the way this one particular hijacker was thinking.. he had something else on his mind wink

I wanted to say you mentioned 8 passengers, but not a pilot. Is the 9th person the pilot?

It's possible, but that still wouldn't explain why he asked for so many, and only used one wink

Could it have been that the cargo was too heavy to carry

3 replies
DarkWolf OP December 21st, 2016

@lazyKatz

It could have been. but it wasn't. He only used 1 parachute. He left the others behind. (so he couldn't have used them for the cargo)

BurkeDevlin December 21st, 2016

@DarkWolf Is the man a midget, and needed a child-sized parachute?

1 reply
DarkWolf OP December 21st, 2016

@BurkeDevlin

Nope, they are all equally sized normal parachutes.
