Alone I fall to the earth and raise as many in rebirth.
Grind and sift and pound me down,
I raise again a golden brown
So you may live through my defeat

Grain/Bread?

I'll give it to ya, more specifically wheat.

I've got two:

I buy a can of Coca-Cola from a vending machine, it costs 60p, what is the least amount of coins I can use to buy the Coca-Cola? And what coins are they?

Add gramma to make this into a grammatically correct sentence:
I said that that that that that man said should have been underlined

Another attempt at this...

I said that that that that that man said grandma should have been underlined

If this doesn't work I'm just going to put grandma in random places

is it more to do with the fact that it says 'gramma' instead of 'grammar'?

Here's an easy one. I dig a hole 1cm by 1cm, how much dirt is in the hole?

One cm because I doubt I'd be asked to dig a bigger hole for the sake of a riddle.

There's no dirt in the hole, it's a hole

Ok yet another this one might not be right as I heard it a while back so if you've heard it before then kick me if i've done it wrong.

Indianna Jones, a woman, a child and a old man have 21 minutes until the volcano erupts and destroys the only bridge out. However it's dark and they need a torch to see where Planks have rotted in the bridge, and only two people can cross at any time. They only have one torch.

Given that it take indy 3 minutes the woman 4 minutes the child 5 minutes and the old guy 6 minutes, how do they make there escape?

Edit: God knows how blanks would rot into a bridge...

Indie crosses with the old guy and the torch Total time = 6 minutes
Indie goes back across Total = 9 minutes
Indie crosses with the kid TT = 14 min
Indie goes back TT = 17min.
Indie Crosses with the woman. TT = 21min.
All safe. YAY


My turn. Scene; a farmer has to cross a river. He can only fit two in the boat from this list, along with himself; Fox, Goose, Grain sack. How does he get all three across without losing any of them? Assuming the fox and the goose won't run away.

He takes the fox and the grain first, then comes back for the goose.

Edit: That was two easy, I think you meant that he could only fit one in the boat with him.

Then it would be goose first, then bring the fox over, take the goose back, bring the grain over, then bring the goose over last.

correct! I grant you the power over custard, now you can go get some. However be cautious with this power for it holds grave consequences.

Correct, but your answer made me realise I had written it wrong...
So I grant you the power of the edit button. For no matter how foolish you may at first appear it may always be corrected.

I like the hotel one. Heres another:
A man is found dead outside a casino with fifty two motorcycles around him... how did this happen?

He was killed for cheating and the motorcycles were the patterns on the back of his deck of cards?

Yep! thats it.

Some "What am I?" riddles...

32 white horses upon a red hill. Now they tramp. Now they champ, now they stand still.

Teeth maybe?

Here's one I know:

Rich men need it
Poor men have it
It's greater than God
Worse than Satan
And older than time itself
What is it?

And another (pretty terrible) one:

You're stuck in a jail cell with 4 walls and no windows, how do you escape?

I have one your trapped in a room which has no doors and windows, and all you have is a mirror and a table. How do you get out of the room?

You look at the table, then you look in the mirror and see what you saw. You cut the table in half with the saw, put the two halves together and two halves make a whole. Then you crawl out the hole.

It's really a terrible riddle. It's more a play on words that nobody could ever possibly get without having heard it before.

I don't think its a terrible riddle... for me a terrible riddle is: what do I have in my pocket?

1. What can you catch but not throw?
2. What goes around the world but stays in a corner?
3. I'm light as a feather, yet the strongest man can't hold me for much more than a minute. What am I?
4. You use a knife to slice my head, and weep when I am dead. What am I?
5. I'm where yesterday follows today, and tomorrow's in the middle. What am I?

1 and 3 are both a cold/any disease. 4 could be flowers, not sure about the using a nice to slice thing though. Dunno about the others yet. *ponders*
