It cannot be seen, cannot be felt
cannot be heard, cannot be smelt,
It lies behind stars and under hill.
And empty holes it fills.
It comes first follows after
Ends life, kills laughter.
Alive without breath,
As cold as death,
never thirsty, everdrinking
All in mail, never clinking
This thing all things devours
Birds, beasts, trees, flowers,
Gnaws Iron, bites steel,
Grinds hard stones to meal.
Slays king, ruins town,
And beats high mountain down. Good Luck!

Posted 01 January 2005 - 06:11 AM
Edited: Wait! No!! the walls are brick and this isnt a dupe riddle. But you said how do you get out, but in your answer, you clearly said that you cut the table and put it together to make a whole and that has nothing to do with getting out.So your riddle doesnt make sense

Heres one:
If a lion a goat and a yam are all wanting to get across a river, and the goat eats the yam if the two are left alone, and the lion eats the goat if the two are left alone, how can you bring them all across safely.
NOTES:
They don't eat each other if they are all together.
There is only one boat.
You can only put 2 on the boat.
If two predators are left on the boat they WILL eat eachother.
HINT:
You can take them back and forth as long as they all get across.
Don't say its wierd my grandpa made it up.:(
THINK!!! FOOLS THINK!!!!
#88
Posted 03 February 2005 - 09:42 AM
First you take the Yam across
The nyou take the Goat across, but bring back the goat
Then you take the lion across and come back for the goat. Simple!!
Is it right?!?!?!?!?!
#89
Posted 03 February 2005 - 09:59 AM
since the lion doesn't eat the yam you send them over first. then you send the goat over.

Answer(1): You ask a a door - "If I were to ask the other door which door leads to the city of truth, what would he say". And then you pick the opposite door of what he tells you.
Answer(2): Ask the door - "If I asked you which door leads to the city of truth before, which door would you have told me?" (negative and negative = positive, positive and positive = positive). and you choose the door that it directs you to.

So they sat by the pyramid with their camels all day,
but then a old man came by and whispered something in their ears.
And then the two sons starts racing around the pyramid.

The only other logical explanation would be that the witness is also the murderer and since the 5th amendment doesn't allow the accused to testify against themselves. He goes free because there is no other witnesses.

Since we have so many at once now i'll just put the answer:
The murder and witness were simense twins, so they couldn't go to jail becuase then the witness who was innoccent would be punished for nothing.

When the plant is halfway the moon it needs to grow 1 day
before it reaches the moon. (half of the lenght x 2 = the whole lenght ^^)

It's more powerful than God.
It's more evil than the devil.
The poor have it.
The rich need it.
If you eat it, you'll die.
