Inspired by "What Am I" thread I present to you The Riddle Game. The rules happen to be quite simple ; 1.You first person shall post a riddle 2.If you have an answer wait for a confirmation by the person who posted it before starting another riddle 3.Don't start a riddle if there is lready one active 4.You MUST know the answer to the riddle before posting it to prevent confusion 5.Riddles such as "What,Who and Where Am I" ARE allowed but please try to keep them in the "What Am I" thread. Thats pretty much it, so lets begin!

When does Friday come before Thursday?

Matt Hazuda

That is absolutely correct.

It stands for:

Zero, One, Two, Three, Four, Five, and the mystery answer Six

Congrats, and let's hear your riddle.

A little something for you Batman fans.

There are three men in a boat with four cigarettes. There are no matches. How do they smoke?

Here is a problem, yes F comes before T but I didn't say the letters, I ment the ACTUAL words (Friday and Thursday, not F and T). please wait for CONFIRMATION before posting a new riddle, I am going to let this slide but wait till you are 100% sure you are right. The answer was in the Dictionary.

As for the answer, They have a lighter??

Let me take a guess on this one too. If it's hinted as for Bat fans, that probably means a sertain character is needed. My guess is that Firefly is there.

Oooh, that's close! So close! But the answer was stated in the very first Batman TV show from the 60's. It's pretty easy to remember!

They get rid of one cigarette. Then they are a CIGARETTE LIGHTER. :D

14 smokers
10 non-smokers
AceOfKnaves
11-10-2002, 03:04 AM
Sorry, 15 isn't the answer either.

But prozzak is getting close to how it should be answered. :)
Patrick Bateman
11-10-2002, 03:12 AM
Friggin' math question. HRMPH! :mad: :p
Patrick Bateman
11-10-2002, 03:23 AM
14 smokers and 1 non-smoker?
AceOfKnaves
11-10-2002, 03:24 AM
Sorry BYO, that's not it either. :D
Patrick Bateman
11-10-2002, 03:34 AM
14 smokers and 19 non-smokers?
AceOfKnaves
11-10-2002, 03:35 AM

Well.........my answer made sense! Do I get credit for that? :p
Patrick Bateman
11-12-2002, 01:44 AM
Yes, it made sense. But it's still wrong. :p

I am VERY tempted to answer this.....I give you till sundown T. :p
AceOfKnaves
11-24-2002, 05:46 AM
Alrighty! Three posts in a row, and no guesses or clues from Batman Year One, soooooo.....

The answer is a lawsuit.... :p

The next one is up for grabs.

TimTwoFace
11-25-2002, 01:56 AM
When it's ajar! *BOOO HISSSSSS!*

Hey, I didn't come up with the riddle, don't blame me!

So I'll leave this up for grabs, as my brain is fried at the moment.

That was just SICK! :)

Any more cheeseball things like that, and I think I might puke. ;)

Next ones up for grabs? *GRABS*
All right...

What is the largest possible number you can make using ONLY TWO DIGITS. :D
ProdigyCube
11-26-2002, 09:34 AM
99

Im probly wrong.
Cyber E.
11-26-2002, 10:11 AM
Selena, you are draining my mind away some how!

Anyway, is the answer 00?? It can go on and on and on. O_o
AceOfKnaves
11-27-2002, 02:04 AM
No to both, though Prodigy's was really close, but not quite. :D

Yup, that's it Scatha, you're up. :)
AceOfKnaves

Uh, "Testing, one, two, three..."
AceOfKnaves
12-08-2002, 07:30 AM
All righty, since it's been quite some time, and I had the last one, I think it should be up for grabs. Whoever wants to, take it. :)

This is a REEAL easy one.

You are driving a bus. At the first bus stop fifteen people get on and two get off. At bus station #2, four people get on and six people get off. And at bus station #3, twelve people get on and thirteen get off. What is the bus driver's name?
AceOfKnaves
12-08-2002, 08:55 PM
I believe I know the answer, but I was up last, so I'll let someone else take a stab at it.
Daniel P
12-09-2002, 09:20 PM
C'mon guys... This one's easy!
Danielle
12-09-2002, 09:28 PM
I'd do it...........but really, the answer would depend on who's answering, wouldn't it? :D

Just to say: This is a pretty good riddle, and not so easy......when it's spoken. Writing it down makes it a *bit* easier. ;)

Well, that's enough. Now for the answer: Danielle. Though I am still waiting for my driver's license. :p
Daniel P
12-09-2002, 09:30 PM
That's right! It is harder when spoken. I love to see the people scribbling the numbers down on their hands for a couple minutes, and then I say, "What is the bus drivers' name?".

Your turn to post a riddle!
