[Metah]

The riddle/OMG SORRY puzzle I posted is still different from the Einstein one because it asks for two things. So, yeah. I DIDN'T MAKE THE RIDDLE PLEASE DON'T RAPE ME YOU GUYS.

And for the Panda bear one, the dictionary said "ITS A TRAP THE PANDA WILL SHOOT YOU RUN AWAY YOU FOOL!!"

[TheShadyMan]

Actually, the dictionary said Panda: Eats, shoots, and leaves.

It's not really a riddle if you can't guess the answer without having heard it before, that's a joke.




Or the opening premise for a book, but I digress.

[Elvis]

WHAT IS HIGH IN THE MIDDLE AND ROUND ON THE EDGES?

[TheShadyMan]

[Not Kuno]

This immediately came to mind.

You guys all got the Einstein one. Here are some more traditional riddles:

As I was going to Saint Ives,
I crossed the path of seven wives.
Every wife had seven sacks,
Every sack had seven cats,
Every cat had seven kittens,
Kittens, cats, sacks, wives,
How many were going to Saint Ives?

As I was going to Saint Ives,
I crossed the path of seven wives.
Every wife had seven sacks,
Every sack had seven cats,
Every cat had seven kittens,
Kittens, cats, sacks, wives,
How many were going to Saint Ives?

Wasn't this in V for Vendetta? I can't help but recite it in a particular tone that I heard from a movie.

None then?
Not counting the riddle's narrator.

[Bartylby]

it's from die hard 3 and it's said wrong

As I was going to Saint Ives,
I met a man with seven wives.
Every wife had seven sacks,
Every sack had seven cats,
Every cat had seven kittens,
Kittens, cats, sacks, wives,
How many were going to Saint Ives?

it loses some of it's effect when written down to read like that though >.>

[Waef]

So, is polygomy legal in Saint Ives?

Edit: This is necessary information in solving the riddle, obviously.

[Drex]

Yeah isn't the guy telling the riddle the only one going to st. ives? So no cats, wives, etc.

[Draggy]

Yeah its just the narrator.

As I was going to Saint Ives,
I crossed the path of seven wives.

he is going to St Ives and the wives are going in the opposite direction

[Kiarax]

Some people say it as just the narrator, other people count all of them because people tend to forget the narrator is going to Saint Ives too.
