[SirDeadly]

ok, marathon here. dont try and look up the answers pls, chances are u should know it anyway

Spoiler

1.
What has roots as nobody sees,
Up, Up, Up it goes,
And yet it never grows

2.
Thirty white horses on a red hill,
First they champ,
Then they stamp,
Then they stand still

3.
Voiceless it cries,
Wingless flutters,
Toothless bites,
Mouthless mutters.

4.
An eye in a blue face,
Saw an eye in a green face.
"That eye is like to this eye"
Said the first eye,
"But in low place,
Not in high place"

5.
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.

6.
Alive without breath,
Cold without death,
Never thirsty, ever drinking,
All in mail never clinking.

7.
This thing all devours:
Bird, seed, trees, flowers;
Gnaws iron, bites steel;
Grinds hard stones to meal;
Slays king, ruins town,
And beats high mountains down.

If you have heard these before, don't say anything. I mean come on, its not like these are from a book...

Yes, definately not from a book ~_^

Exactly. (Note to self, kill deadly before he tells everyone my secret...)

Don't worry, your secret is safe with me and my ring.

[keybird]

[EASY] How much dirt is in a perfect five by five foot hole

[MEDIUM] There are 52 bicycles in the room, along with a round table. Under the table is a dead man, why did he die.

[EASY] How do you get 4 gallons of water with a 3 and 5 gallon jug

[HARD] There are 3 lightswitches down stairs and 3 upstairs. You want to figure out which lightswitch goes to each bulb. There is an elevator connecting the room but you can only use it once. How do you find the correct switches and the correct bulbs.

I will give one internet cookie to the person who can answer all 4 of these

there is no dirt in a hole. Silly man! haha
as for the lighswitch one. You turn one on for 10 mins, then turn it off and turn two on. go upstairs and see if two is on, if its not, check one to see if its warm. If its warm then its one, two if its on. Three if none of the above is true

Hey, it's ya pal Sketch here, to lay somethin heavy on ya, just cuz you got eyes, doesn't mean you always see.....you gotta get the whole picture before you really know whats goin down....dont belive me? ....okay that's enough of that, cookie for refrance.

Here's mine:

A man is lying dead on the floor, with a knife in his back, next to a pool of water. The room he died in has no windows, and the door was locked from the inside. The only other object in the room is a chair. The placement of the knife is such that he couldn't have reached there to stab him self.
How did he die?
(obviously the knife killed him but how did it happen?)

he fell off the chair and landed on the knife? the water could be ice holding the knife up.

Alright, another of me riddles. I really like this one but it's better suited for actual conservation.

Spoiler

Three guests check into a hotel room. The clerk says the bill is $30, so each guest pays $10. Later the clerk realizes the bill should only be $25. To rectify this, he gives the bellhop $5 to return to the guests. On the way to the room, the bellhop realizes that he cannot divide the money equally. As the guests didn?t know the total of the revised bill, the bellhop decides to just give each guest $1 and keep $2 for himself.

Now that each of the guests have been given $1 back, each has paid $9, bringing the total paid to $27. The bellhop has $2. If the guests originally handed over $30, what happened to the remaining $1?

Giving them the $3 brings the paid total to $27, and the bellhop has the other $2 required to bring the total paid to $25.
It was just a matter of remembering where to add and subtract.

Yeah he froze the knife in water and jumped backwards onto the knife, the ice melted. Its from an episode of case closed, and the guy was trying to frame a chick, but yeah, its all I could think of this second lol

The criminal rides into town on Tuesday.
He stays at a tavern for 3 days.
Then rides out of town on Wednesday.
He didnt stay at any other bar, tavern or hotel, and didn't sleep rough.
How is this possible?

He's on drugs so he stayed awake the whole 3 days.
EDIT:

Why are 2007 pennies worth more than 2006 pennies?

cuz that'd be $20.07, as opposed to $20.06.
Duh.

1: What stinks when living and smells good when dead?

2: When is it bad luck to meet a white cat?

1.) Cattle.
2.) In a negative.

1. No dirt at all.
2. He was playing cards and hiding the joker, causing the others to kill him. (I'm missing something here, but I'm pretty sure they're cards)
3. Fill 3 gallon, empty into 5, refill, empty as much as possible into 5, empty 5, put remaining 1 gallon into 5, refill 3, empty into 5 gallon for total of 4 gallons.
4. Already done, turn on one switch for ten minutes, then turn it off, turn one switch on, leave one off, go upstairs and feel bulbs, hot one is the switch that has already been on, lit one is on, cold one is the switch that has always been off.

What have I got in my pocket

Can I answer Riddle 1 with Riddle 2?

A man and his son are knocked down in an accident, the man is killed and the son is badly injured. When he is taken to hospital, the doctor refuses to operate, stating "This is my son" How is this possible?

Four answers: 1.ZOMBIE DAD, 2.The Man was not his father, 3.The Man was taken to the hospital, mistaken for being alive, and the doctor was the man's father, and 4. The Doctor is a fucking liar.


OT:I am never quite what I appear to be. Straight-forward I seem, but it's only skin deep, for mystery most often lies beneath my simple speech. Sharpen your wits, open your eyes, look beyond my exteriors, read me backwards, forwards, upside down. Think critically and answer the question. What am I?

 

[Nicolai]

None of those 4 answers are correct, sorry.

To answer yours, O?
