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?
Thousands of orphans who lost their old home,
found by others who have lost their own.
To hide a secret that is obvious to all,
becomes even more obvious when the host falls.
What am I?
@blackSnowflake25
a wig
@allnaturalNight50
That's absolutely correct!
Rough and gray as rock,
I'm plain as plain can be.
But hidden deep inside there's great beauty in me.
What am I?
This is a riddle I came up with myself. I posted it a few months back already in this topic, but let's see if it can be answered again. Might be a tiny bit more challenging for @allnaturalNight50
I know a restaurant. It has no menu, but you can order everything you want.
Eating there is free, yet theres a maximum amount of money you can spent.
The cook isn't professionally trained and exclusively cooks for one, because it's impossible for costumers to walk in here with or without reservation.
And still.. you wouldn't want to eat there voluntarily if you could.
How can this be? Where is this?
@DarkWolf I dont know what they're called officially but something along the lines of a homeless shelter food place
@DarkWolf possibly like a last meal kind if thing I honestly have just stared at it and I dont know but yeah a last meal death row kinda thing
@allnaturalNight50
That's exactly right!! The last meal they get on death row..
@DarkWolf
omg yay so satisfying:)
@allnaturalNight50
It's really impressive you got that one, pretty quickly too
@DarkWolf haha I think its just the way my mind works like I had at least an answer or two a minute 😛
Sometimes I'm high and sometimes low,
and I creep between your toes.
My orders come from the sky,
I make men fall and rise.
What am I?
@blackSnowflake25
a tide
@blackSnowflake25
a tide
@allnaturalNight50
Yes!
Shake me and I'll do what you want,
but first you have to pull me from the ground.
I'm on the tip of your tongue and over your shoulder.
What am I?
If you lose one of me, you are upset, bewildered, and perplexed.
If you lose two of me, you are blissfully unaware.
What am I?
@blackSnowflake25 socks
@allnaturalNight50
That's right!
@blackSnowflake25 your senses, like hearing and then seeing. Just a guess.
@AmalieAnne Or just hearing.
@AmalieAnne
Really good attempt . A better fit for the riddle would be socks
@blackSnowflake25 that makes more sense
The first is a sign of something good,
the second says whereto;
the third is vulgar and mean,
the fourth is bound by a ring;
the fifth is the noble one.
Together they all drum.
What are they?
@blackSnowflake25 Is the third one some thing if I did it I would really get told off?
@AmalieAnne
Yes, you would be told off
@blackSnowflake25 Finger but together a hand?!? So I will go with hand. (I think)
@AmalieAnne
Spot on! You're right Wasn't an easy riddle either.
@blackSnowflake25 hehe I got told off for doing the third finger and I used to ask daddy to marry me
@AmalieAnne
Aww.. How adorable is that!
@blackSnowflake25 he always said yes but only for pretend. Still I would always ask for a ring but never got one.
@AmalieAnne
Some day, you'll get that ring
What has a head and a tail, but no limbs or body?
@DarkWolf sorry but is to easy hehe a coin
@AmalieAnne this is where I get it wrong and then get embarrassed
@AmalieAnne
It's actually right
@DarkWolf Yay I got it right, I thought it was maybe you were trick us.
No matter how much rain comes down on it it won't get any wetter.
What is it?
@blackSnowflake25
Is the answer water? like the sea?
@DarkWolf
Yes, it is!
Last one for now, and a pretty difficult one too:
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?
