For starters, here is Phoenix’s riddle, which has brought the “Writing” thread to a near-halt:

H(a)
____________
H(b)

The ____________s represent an endless river. A ferryman has a boat on the river, and he is willing to transport various items across. He is dishonest, however, so unless the item is locked in a box he will steal it. The boat is only big enough for the ferryman and 1 piece of cargo.

H(a) and H(b) are houses, belonging to a doctor and an ordinary person. One day the person falls deathly ill, and the doctor person has the only cure. If each person has a box, a padlock, and a key to their padlock (and their padlock ONLY), how does the doctor get the medicine across without it being stolen? (Oh yeahâ€“and stealing the boat is NOT an option. When I told my mom this riddle, she said, “well, the doctor takes the box and hits the ferryman on the head, then steals his boatâ€¦ this is NOT the right answer, people!)

As long as we’re at it, I’ll add in my own little riddle, minus the visual aids.

So theres a chicken, a fox and a bag of grain. Farmer Fred wants to get them across the river. He has one boat that can fit him and one of his things. There’s a catch, though, because he can’t leave the chicken with the grain, becasue the chicken will eat the grain, and he can’t leave the fox with the chicken, becuase the fox will eat the chicken. in which order does he bring them over? (This one is pretty easy)

Wooooo!!! I feel really, incredibly special right now! I really didn’t think the Muse administrator people would make a new thread just because I asked. I wanted them to, but I had no idea I was that influential! Yay for the Muse administrator people!!

No he will not, as you can see if you check previous posts on the Writing thread. Apparently the ferryman has a pathological fear of lockboxes, which is just strong enough so that he won’t steal them, but not so strong that he won’t take them across.

Hey, I wrote something, and when I came back, It was gone!!!!! Not just “awaiting moderation”, but GONE!!!!! Scary…..

I’m going to repost it now: Wooooooooo!!!! I feel so incredibly special right now!! I was kinda surprised when I came back from church and find this thread awaiting me. I wanted the Muse administrator people to make this thread, but I had no idea I carried that much influence!!!

No, he will not, as you would have seen if you had looked at the previous posts in Writing. Aparently the ferryman has a pathological fear of lockboxes, just strong enough so that he won’t steal them, but not so strong that he won’t take them across. Now if this post disapears I will be really mad!!!!

I know Phoebe’s riddle! It’s…um…okay, I have it. It’s…ah, let me think. Okay, got it! He brings the chicken over, then he goes back and gets the fox, which he drops off on the oposite shore, right before he grabs the chicken and takes her back. Then he takes the grain across, and goes back for the chicken who is waiting for him on the other shore. Now everyone is across, safe and uneaten!

MG,

Yes, I’ve been online a lot today. Your comments were probably being approved so fast that you lost track of them.

OK, here’s how I think the doctor can send the medicine. A lockbox usually has a hasp, a slotted metal plate that’s hinged to the lid of the box. The hasp swings down over a U-shaped staple, attached to the lower part of the box, so that the staple sticks through the slot. To lock the box, you slip the padlock through the staple and close the padlock. Got it? Now, here’s what happens:

(1) The sick person loops the lock through the slot in the hasp and closes it. Now the lock is locked to the hasp. But the staple isn’t involved, so the box is not closed. The sick person sends the box to the doctor that way.

(2) On receiving the box, the doctor puts the medicine into it. Then he/she takes his/her padlock, sticks it through the staple and through the other lock, and closes it. Result: the two locks form a sort of chain that keeps the box locked shut.

(3) The doctor sends the box to the sick person.

(4) On receiving the box, the sick person uses the key to open his/her lock. He/she removes it from the staple and from the other lock. The box is now open, and the sick person takes the medicine.

What do you think?

–Robert

It’s not locked in step 1. But that doesn’t matter, because the box is empty.

In the hard earth or in the wide skies.
I live all my life to eat and consume
but I fear to drink, for it holds my doom.

Have you (#20) told us before that the ferryman steals unlocked boxes? Well, never mind.

(1) Doctor passes lock through the slot and through the staple and closes it, locking the empty box in an unconventional way. (There may be combinations of shapes of lock, hasp, and staple that make this maneuver impossible, but I assume geometry is on our side here.)

(2) Doctor sends the box to the sick person.

(3) Sick person passes his/her own lock through the slot, closes it, and sends the box back to the doctor, with the extra lock “going along for the ride.”

(4) Doctor removes his/her own lock, opens the box, and puts the medicine inside it.

(5) Doctor replaces his/her lock, threading it through the staple and through the other lock to make the sort of two-lock chain described in comment 10, step 2.

(6) Doctor sends medicine-containing locked box to sick person.

(7) Sick person opens his/her lock, and thus the box, and takes the medicine.

I really hope that is the answer. I think it’s super weird that the ferryman won’t steal the lock boxes when they have a padlock on them, but he will steal them when they don’t, and he will also steal padlocks when not attached to lock boxes. I think the whole riddle was just plain freaky.

I’m supposed to post longer comments, so I’m going to comment on Chin Tsu’s riddle in this same post. I absolutely, possotively cannot figure it out!!!!!! I should know it. I feel like Bilbo in The Hobbit when he’s down there with Gollum, and he has the riddle about the thing that breaks through iron, destroys everthing, no one can hide from it, yadda yadda yadda, and he can’t figure it out and is only saved by pure luck from being eaten by Gollum, because he squeaked out “Time, time!” meaning give me more time, and that was the answer to the riddle. That’s how frustrated I feel.

Calvin is my little brother’s hero, too. He gets in these “I love Calvin” moods, and he goes around quoting the strips. It’s not nearly as funny as when you read it, and then it spoils the strip for me the next time I see it, because I’m thinking about how flat it was when he just told me. My mom won’t let me tell him to stop, because she thinks that my older brother and I are too mean to him. I’ll say, “Drew, just let me read it,” and then she has a fit and says “It was fine for him to tell us that!” even though it spoiled the whole joke for me from then on.

(1) Doctor puts medicine into box, locks the box with padlock, and sends it across the river.
(2) Sick person whacks padlock with a sledgehammer, busting it to smithereens.
(3) Sick person opens the box and takes the medicine.

We’ve all been working hard to save that poor sick person’s life. As far as I’m concerned, I’ve just done it twice.

Here’s another way:
(1) Doctor puts the medicine and the key into the chest.
(2) Doctor locks the chest by the looped-through-the-slot method so that the lid doesn’t close snugly, and gives it to the ferryman.
(3) Technically, the key is inside a locked box, so the ferryman won’t steal it. But…
(4) On receiving the box, the sick person turns it upside-down so the key falls into the lid, then turns the box until the key falls out onto the ground.
(5) Sick person unlocks the box and takes the medicine.

My favorite solution is still Rosanne’s: the doctor smears medicine all over the box and writes a note on the box telling the sick person to lick it. That’s four rescues. We’re heroes!

I also loved that one!!!! I think that if the person was too sick to go get a doctor on his side of the river, he’s probably dead by now. I think all of your solutions work, Robert. I think Phoenix is just upset that we solved her riddle, so she keeps acting like we haven’t figured it out, even though we’ve come up with at least nine or ten completely credible solutions. I think we should drop the riddle, because Robert’s solution in post #30 works, and it doesn’t break any of the rules.

I’m sorry, I meant the answer in post number #23, but post #30 is a good answer, and it was REALLY funny!!!!!! I might just think that because everything seems really funny on the internet, but I laughed about it even when I was off, so I don’t think that’s it.

I can NOT get a grasp on it!!! I gave it to my mom, and she thinks there isn’t a solution to it, but that’s what she thought about Phoenix’s, too.

I got Boxty’s joke!! That’s really funny!!!! Ha ha! It was unexpected, too. I’m glad I got the Muse administrator people to start this thread, it’s really alot of fun!!!

in October 11th, 2005 @ 18:36

fine, fine. here is the answer I wanted (ending a legacy!)

1)docter puts medicine in box, puts on his padlock, and locks the box. He sends it across the river.
2)sick person gets it, puts HIS lock on the box as well, locks it, and sends it over.
3)docter unlocks HIS padlock, sends box back over.
4)sick person unlocks HIS padlock, takes out the medicine and get well.

There. now is everyone satisfied?!!! MontgomoryGurl, you challenge my honor. I would NEVER lie about somthing like that.

I have a joke! It might offend somebody, but I don’t know what ya’ll look like, so just remeber that it isn’t directed at anyone in particular: Blondes have more fun. Brunettes can add.

Want to hear another dumb blonde joke? I take it by your silence that you do: How do you kill a dumb blonde? Put a scratch ‘n’ sniff at the bottom of a pool!!

A blind guy walks into a bar. He goes in, sits down and says, “hey, anyone want to here a dumb blode joke?” Immediatley there is complete silence. “Well sir, you could,” said the bartender, “but I’m a blonde, and a former line backer. The guy sitting behind you is 300 pounds, and also a blonde, and the man to your left is, too. Do you still want to tell that joke?” “No way,” said the blind man, “not if I’m boing to have to explain it three times!”

Ok since we’re talking about dumb blond jokes here’s one:

A red head, a brunette, and a blonde all go to the pool for swim practice. Their swim coach tells them to swim 200 laps of breaststroke around the pool. The red head and the brunette finish in 1 day and a 1/2. The blonde finished a week later. When the swim coach asked her why she took so long, she said,”They cheated, they used their hands!”

Just so you know that was not made to offend anyone. On my old swim team we used to yell it across the pool at the other team.
Ah… those were the days…

My assumtions were confirmed when Ebeth the Lurker asked what I was talking about.

I have a really fun game that my friends and moi sometimes play.

Everybody lies in a circle with their hands in front of them
EX: p1 lays there. p2 put one arm over p1’s arm, p3 puts an arm over p2’s second arm and so on until the circle is complete. Then the story begins. P1 starts. He/She slaps their hand on the ground and says a word. P2 does the same thing and so on. You go around in the circle until you finish the story. Some of them can be really wacky. One time we made a story about a green catapillar who lived in a monster. the monster ate him and then the catapillar went home. And then the catapillars were made into green frosting and spread on a cake. I laughed a ton durinf those stories. -sigh- It brings up fond memories.

Well enjoy!

I have a blond joke:

One day a blond walked into a store and wanted to buy a tv. She asked the salesman how much it cost. He said,”We don’t sell to dumb blondes.”
So the next day she walked in with a burnette wig on. She asked the salesman how much it cost. he said,”We don’t sell to dumb blondes.”
So the next day she came in with a red wig on. She asked the salesman how much the tv cost. He said,”We don’t sell to dumb blondes.”
She said,” How did you know I am blond?”
he said,” Because, that’s a microwave.”

Why are most blond jokes about women? i’m in advanced algebra for goodness sakes.

Why are so many people so hairist? I agree with Boxty.
So, let’s see how many people with brown hair answer this question right.

There’s a cherry tree in the middle of nowhere. You’re hungry. You take no cherries, but you leave no cherries and this is not a trick question. (*well maybe it is.It depends on how you think of it.*)

Tell me + Boxty what color your hair is.
(And answer the question of course.)

Cherry riddle: it was winter, there were no cherries in the first place.
Here is a game my friends and I play: everyone gets a piece of paper. everyone writes two related lines (ex.
My hair is green. Once I tried to die it black but it just got striped.
Everyone asked me why I looked like a barfing zebra.)
Then you fold the paper over the first line so only the second line shows. Then you pass it to a random person who is also finished. Now you have that person’s paper. You read the second line, but not the covered first fist line, so if you got the example paper you would only see the “Everyone asked me why I looked like a barfing zebra” part. Then you write somthing that makes sense with that line, like, “I told them my father was a barfing zebra.” then you fold the paper over the second line so what you wrote is the only thing that shows. And so on. You stop when you run out of room, then unfold them and read them. It can get hysterical! Here is an example played with my friends Zyviva, the Smurfinator, Queen Stephonia, and one who wishes to be known as Cobra:
Cows are unbelivably cool
as are sheep
sheep go baa
I thought that was goats?
I hate goats, they are smelly. Nothing should be goats.
not as smelly as cafeteria food!
ahh! cafeteria food! run away! *runs away*
EEK! IT IS THE ATTACK OF THE KILLER CAFETERIA FOOD!
Hello I am the random interrupting machine: In a previous life I was a waffle…
In a previous life I was spaggetti.
Thats nice to know.
Whats nice to know?
The dungeon collapses around you…
and all the dragons come out!
Ahhhh! dragons!
Purple dragons
Purple dragons with orange spots
sounds like what the orange I left rotting in my bag all year looked like…
blurg!
Yaaaarg. Ich! Ech! blahhh…
Huh?
Huh what?
huh what what?
what does “bubwhutwhut” mean? I don’t think I can red your handwriting…
It means cows…

Anyone up to a game of questionare? We could switchback. (Ebeth?)
Questionare works like this. I ask a question.
Example: How are you today?
Partner tries to make up a question having to do with the subject and not answering in a statement, command, etc., basically, anything that’s not a interrogative.

Example: How are you today? (1st person)
Why do you care (2nd person)

There can be as many people as wanted.

Anybody want to play? If so, I’ll start.

c) Good job! Have you heard that one before?

d) Even a funnier answer then you gave b). The real answer is boringly logical. 1 cookie. After that, you wouldn’t have a empty stomach.

e) Good Guess. *giggle, giggle* actually it’s that when their father’s wives died, the decided to marry the other’s daughter. It takes place when they’ve been married and had kids.

OK, answer key.
a) He shaves himself, therefore he is shaving someone who does shave himself, which breaks his own rule. But if he doesn’t shave himself, he needs to shave himself, but if he shaves himself…ARGH! It’s a palendrom. (He, he, he. I like mispelling things too!)

b) Correct, Elentari. Two paying customers is better than one.

C) Since a barber cannot cut his own hair, he must get it cut by someone else. The other barber gave him the horrible haircut. The other Barber has a great Haircut only because the dirty one made it that way. So, yes, Phoenix, you’re right!

You guys answered my riddles all right.
a) the letter g.
b) He will be hanged. If he his hanged, is sentence is true, so he must be drowned, but if he is drowned, he must be hanged because the sentence is false. But if he is hanged the sentence is true so AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHH
c)It’s a paradox. Give up.
d)Erm, Hamlet didn’t marry his mother, his uncle married his mother, and his mother had married his father, his uncle’s brother so that Hamlet, who was his father’s son, must have to take revenge on his uncle-father, who was a subject to incest!!! So actually, you’re right however. You can’t marry your mother.

(extra. How do you greet someone who is you brother’s aunt’s mother-in-law’s cousin’s sister’s father’s brother’s grandchild’s great-grandpa’s cousin’s uncle’s father’s son’s mother-in-law’s sister’s brother’s mother’s uncle?)

e)Yerp. Survivors don’t die.

Today’s Riddles….
a) a man ordered a glass of white wine and a glass of red wine at a bar. He rook the glass of white wine in his right hand and the one with red in his left hand and drank both. he paid and left. The next day, he did the same. When he was leaving the waiter asked him:
“I didn’t know that a fire man drank that way.”
The man smiled and left. How did the waiter know that he was a fireman?
b)when he goes to the bathroom , a man does not know if the hot water faucet is the one on the left or right. What does he need to do to be sure that he does not turn on the cold water before he turns on the hot?

Actually, saying that pizza is greater than God bacause nothing is greater than God, and pizza is greater than nothing, is actually a type of fallacy wherein the meaning of a word changes right in the middle of your arguement. In this case, nothing changed it’s meaning, so therefore the entire line of reasonig is false. Not that you thought it wasn’t or anything, but I just wanted to show off my knowledge of fallacies, something I have been doing ever since I read chapter 2 in my Lincoln-Douglas debate book. Just ignore my endless analyzing, it’s genetic.

The main problem would be that everyone would disagree about which kind of pizza is best, and the people who liked pepperoni would persecute the people who liked anchovies, etc. Very different from the way the world is today.

Controversy alert. Cruel joke. I may get lynched.

You’re lost in the jungle. You haven’t eaten for three days, and you may be delirious. Strangely, you hear Mozart. You follow the sound. There, in a clearing, is a string trio – two violas and a cello. First viola is playing superbly, every note clear and sharp, perfect phrasing, nice sense of style. Second viola is the opposite – fudging half the runs, questionable tuning, no musicality. The cello is excellent, but rather odd. The cellist is a pink hippopotamus.

Question – on the assumption that any of this may correspond loosely to reality, which one do you go to for help?

Answer – The second viola. The other two HAVE to be figments of your imagination.

OK, SORRY! I didn’t mean it! I LIKE violas!

nails in my ribs,
feet do i lack.

2)the part of the bird that is not of the sky,
which can swim in the ocean and always stay dry,
What is it?

And, although this has been given away already, a different version of the riddle MontgomeryGurl:

What does man love more than life,
Fear more than death or mortal strife,
What poor men have, and the rich require,
What contented men desire,
What misers spend and spendthrifts save,
And all men carry to the grave?

Nothing

And, finally, the spelling riddle!

3) My first’s in adventure but isn’t in trip,
My second’s in river but isn’t in ship,
My third’s in chalice but isn’t in cup,
My fourth’s in ascending but isn’t in up,
My fifth’s in error but isn’t in in flaw,
My sixth’s in talon but isn’t in claw,
My whole is a beast who will eat you for dinner,
Unless in this riddle game you are the winner.

And if you want a hint for #3, look in the heading for it.

hmmmmmm…… 2 days.

Old mother twitchet had one eye,
And a long long tail that she let fly,
And everytime she went through a gap,
She left a bit of her tail in the trap.

That might work

If not, then

2) Here on earth it is true, yesterday is always before today; but there is a place where yesterday always follows today. Where?

Kricket: but what is the drGON describing?

this isnt a riddle, but what do you think it means?

In Nottamun Town, in Nottamun Town
Not a soul would look up not a soul would look down
Not a soul would look up, not a soul would look down
To show me the way to fair Nottamun Town

I bought me a horse t’was called a grey mare
Grey mane and grey tail and green stripe on her back
Grey mane and grey tail and green stripe on her back
Weren’t a hair upon her that was not coal black

She stood so still threw me to the dirt
She tore at my hide, she bruised my shirt
From saddle to stirrup I mounted again
and on my ten toes I rode over the plain

Sat down on a hard hot cold frozen stone
Ten thousand stood round me but I was alone
Took my heart in my hand to keep myself warm
Ten thousand was drowned that never was born

I mean it what do you think it means?

I think the 2nd verse means that the narrator is on a ‘grey mare’ with a streak of wildness in her still (green horses, you knw) and she rears up and stays that way so he falls. then she kicks him and makes a hoof print on his shirt and rips his skin. then mounting from saddle to stirrup, when you mount a horse, it goes stirrup-saddle-stirrup and is it so immpossible that he just left off the 1st stirrup off? you can jump into a saddle then go to stirrup. lastly, ten toes – when you go fast on a horse you tend to go up on your toes.

What do you think?

Oooh, I LOVE riddles! And I bet you thought I chose my name randomly. Here’s a few:

A) Only one color, but not one size,
Stck at the bottom, yet easily flies,
Present in sun, but not in rain,
Doing no harm, and feeling no pain.

B) Black we are, and much admired,
Men seek for us if they’re tired,
We tire the horse, but comfort man,
Tell me this riddle, if you can.

C)As I was going to St. Ives,
I met a man with seven wives,
Each wife had seven sacks,
Each sack had seven cats,
Each cat had seven kits,
Kits, cats, sacks, and wives,
How many were going to St. Ives?

D) A hill-full, a hole-full,
You cannot catch a bowl-full

And finally, the last one, and my favorite, the Dragon’s riddle…..

E) I cannot give you heart or health,
Yet men and dragons think me wealth,
As cold as stone but harder too,
You find me where you hear I do…..

This is one of my favorites, because to me it’s so simple when you think about it.

my favourite riddle is “what have i got in my pockets” even though its not a riddle (musers: um, thats not a riddle how can it be your favourite? me:i know its not a riddle I JUST SAID THAT. there, now we have taken care of that, and we dont have to say it again.)

A) You throw away the outside and cook the inside. Then you eat the outside and throw away the inside. What did you eat?

B) Throw it off the highest building, and I’ll not break. But put me in the ocean, and I will. What am I?

C) You use a knife to slice my head and weep beside me when I am dead. What am I?

D) I’m the part of the bird that’s not in the sky. I can swim in the ocean and yet remain dry. What am I?

E) I went into the woods and got it. I sat down to seek it. I brought it home with me because I couldn’t find it. What is it?

F) I am weightless, but you can see me. Put me in a bucket, and I’ll make it lighter. What am I?

By heart, they probably partially mean soul and emotions, because back then they thought the heard held all emotions/ some thoughts. I think the answer sould be humans, instead of people, because there could be (if one believes that aliens exist/ mythical creatures live in an other realm) other beings somewhere that have completely different emotions. Those beings would probably appreciate being called people, but not humans. Humans can sometimes be psycotic/ evil dictators/ be quite greedy sometimes. The other species would probably feel insulted.
