Re: Riddles

There's nothing wrong with it, making the statement false, making the statement true, making the statement false, etc.

Re: Riddles

A man lives in a one story house. Everything is yellow. The fridge is yellow. The TV is yellow. The couch is yellow.
What color are the stairs?

It doesn't have stairs, so, brown, because the would-be stairs are made from wood, and wood is generally brownish.   lol

Re: Riddles

@AIDAN
@FIREDRAKE

You are both wrong.

The stairs are yellow. A house is still considered one story if it has a basement. And a basement has stairs.

I told you you were guaranteed to lose it.  tongue

Re: Riddles

Not all basements have to have stairs. You never specified that they were the basement stairs, therefore leading me to wonder if there were stairs, but possibly fell over on the side, or maybe even that the stairs were in an alternate universe.

1. So-and-so's mom asked if so-and-so took out the trash, and so-and-so said yes. What was the one definite sign that so-and-so was lying?

2. So-and-so is at it again. Mom asked them the same thing, and so-and-so said, "Yes, I look at the moon every single night." How did Mom know that so-and-so was lying?

Yay! Here's one.

In portal (the original one), Chell exits Aperture science - from underground - to a parking lot. In portal 2, Chell comes out of the same Central AI Chamber, but arrives in a sunny wheat field. How did it change?

Re: Riddles

A squirrel can carry out 3 ears a day.  If there are 8 ears of corn, how many days will it take to carry them out? [highlight for a hint]
The squirrel is completely normal and has all of its body parts.

Depends on the velocity of the squirrel relative to you, and its acceleration.

Re: Riddles

I know a good one.  big_smile

Imagine you are inside a room. This room is a box. This room is indestructible; that is to say, no force in the universe, known or unknown, could even scratch its surface. There are no doors or windows in this room. You have no tools or equipment. You only have the clothes on your back, which are of no help in this casenario. How do you escape?

EDIT: Heh heh, I'm such a ninja. :3

You are 3000 feet underground and you must die.
Electric Chair or Aligator Pit? You choose.
You can escape alive.
Which one and why?

there's a better version that goes as follows;

There is a flying airplane with 5 bricks inside it. One brick falls out. How many bricks are left?
What are the three steps to putting a deer in the fridge?
What are the four steps to putting an elephant in the fridge?
It's the king of the lion's birthday. He throws a large party. All of the animals are there except one. Who is it?
An elderly woman comes to a crocodile infested river. She has no option but to wade across. She crosses perfectly unharmed. How?
When she reaches the far bank, she dies. How? (tricky kind of question!)
