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?
Poor people have me.
Rich people don't have me.
If you eat me, you die.
What/Who Am I?
@HalliwellSister
mm.. 'nothing' comes to mind
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 I got this one,, A GUITAR!
IT HAS TO BE A GUITAR!!!! If it's not a guitar, IM DUMB. 😂😂
@AnushaKayastha
It is a guitar, well done!!
What's black and white but also red all over?
I am in front and behind teapot and I am also inside teapot. What am I?
@HalliwellSister a T?
@mikhaela
Not quite the answer I wanted
@HalliwellSister if it is not the 't' , a tea then?
@mikhaela
yes
T
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?
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 Bubble wrap?
@BurkeDevlin
That's right
@DarkWolf I have kids who love to pop those. That part of the riddle sealed it.
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?
@DarkWolf Did he damage the other eight so no one could jump out after him?
@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
He doesn't care if others jump after him or not, he just wants to get down safely, with his valuables.
@DarkWolf Well, my thought was that no one could follow and catch him....but I'll keep thinking.
@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
@DarkWolf
@DarkWolf
@DarkWolf
Could it have been that the cargo was too heavy to carry
@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)
