Here are some riddles from the hobbit that I realy like. Whoever can guess these will get some of my beef n' custard pie. ok. ok.

What has roots as nobody sees, Is taller than trees up,up,up it goes, and yet never grows?

Thirty white horses on a red hill, first they champ, then they stanp, then they stay still

voiceless it cries, wingless flutters, toothless bites, mouthless mutters

a box without hinges, key or a lid, yet golden treasure lies within

the thing that 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

Hey I have some

Buyer doesn't need it, Maker doesn't want it, The user doesn't know it,

If you eat it you die

You have a chicken, a fox, and a bag of chicken seed, you come across a river and a boat. Your house is on the other side, and you need to get the items across, without them eating each other. How do you do this?

Children have more of these than Adults

A man lives on the 10th floor in a hotel. He takes the elevator up 3 flights, and climbs the stairs the rest of the way. Why did he do so?


Bet you can't guess these :D

Darn you Quintessence!! Hmmph...... You yo VV........ You get my pie...... *sniff*
 
quintessence (Dec 22, 2004)
Oh, ohoh, okay, I have some too. To replenish the supply, since I stole all of the first ones. >>

1. You break it even by naming it.

2. As light as a feather, but you can't hold it for ten minutes.

3. It cannot be seen, cannot be felt,
Cannot be heard, cannot be smelt.
It lies behind stars and under hills,
And empty holes it fills.
It comes first and follows after,
Ends life, kills laughter.

4. Alive without breath,
As cold as death;
Never thirsty, ever drinking,
All in mail never clinking.

Done now. The first is my favorite.

A man goes walking outside in the rain. He has no hat on his head, nor does he have and umbrella or a hood. He is not walking under any overhangs. Yet not a hair on his head got wet--how?

Three is indeed darkness, four is indeed a fish, but two isn't a balloon-bomb, sorry. Nor is one correct.

You have a chicken, a fox, and a bag of chicken seed, you come across a river and a boat. Your house is on the other side, and you need to get the items across, without them eating each other. How do you do this?
You pick em all up, get in the boat, and go across. simple. =P

Unless you meant the boat can only hold you and one other thing at a time. In that case, you take the chicken across, come back empty, take the fox across, bring back the chicken, take the seed across, come back empty, then bring the chicken across

Aa. The answer to Squee's "Buyer doesn't need it, Maker doesn't want it, The user doesn't know it, if you eat it you die" riddle is either NOTHING. The answer to "Children have more of these than Adults" is HAIR. The answer to "A man lives on the 10th floor in a hotel. He takes the elevator up 3 flights, and climbs the stairs the rest of the way. Why did he do so?" is THE MAN WAS FAT AND NEEDED EXCERSISE or THE ELEVATOR BROKE DOWN.

(before you could smoke a whole cigar) A bum is collectign cigar butts. Every 5 butts makes a cigar. He has 25 cigar butts total. How many cigars can he smoke?
  icon
squee (Dec 23, 2004)
25 Cigar butts. Because the butts are what's left over from the cigars after they're smoked.
  icon
Dagan (Dec 23, 2004)
No. You are incorrect.
  icon
concannon (Dec 23, 2004)
He can't smoke any; you can't smoke the butts of the cigars. If you could, there wouldn't be any to begin with. =P
  icon
squee (Dec 23, 2004)
I know nothing about cigars, except they taste horrible.

PolythenePam (Dec 23, 2004)
I said that that "that" that that man wrote should have been underlined.
Lol, I don't know...

I can put five "and"s in a row.
There should be more space between "king" and "and" and "and" and "country".
