Riddles

[Tricen]

Silence is murder.

[Chips]

I went to the woods and got it.
When I got it, I couldn't get it.
So I left it there, and brought it home with me.

What is it?

[Khamsin]

Einstein wrote this riddle early during the 19th century. He said 98% of the world could not solve it. Its not hard, you just need to pay attention and be patient.

98% of the world can't solve it, or just don't have the patience to give an honest try?

[Tricen]

98% of the world can't solve it, or just don't have the patience to give an honest try?

98% of the world at the time, You have to remember, 51% are women, So that's already 51% that wont solve it.

[Ishido]

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.

Four men were in a boat on the lake. The boat turns over, and all four men sink to the bottom of the lake, yet not a single man got wet! Why?



You approach two talking doors. One door leads to the City of Truth, while the other door leads to the City of Liars. You do not know which door is which. You are able to ask only one question to determine which door is which. The door that leads to the City of Liars always speaks lies, while the door that leads to the City of Truth always speaks the truth. You want to go to the City of Truth. What question do you ask to determine which door leads to the City of Truth




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




I never was, am always to be, no one ever saw me, nor ever will. And yet I am the confidence of all who live and breath on this terrestrial ball. What am I?




With no wings, I fly. With no eyes, I see. With no arms, I climb. More frightening than any beast, stronger than any foe. I am cunning, ruthless, and tall; in the end, I rule all. What am I?




Eternally I am 1 to 6, Eternally I am 15 to 20, I am always 5, but I am never 21 unless I am flying. What am I?




What English word can have 4 of its 5 letters taken away and still retain its original pronunciation?




In marble halls as white as milk,
Lined with skin as soft as silk,
Within a fountain crystal clear,
A golden apple doth appear.
No doors are there to this stronghold,
Yet thieves break in and steal the gold.
What am I?





In a tunnel of darkness lies a beast of iron. It can only attack when pulled back. What is it?




This thing runs but cannot walk, sometimes sings, but never talks. Lacks arms, has hands; lacks a head but has a face. What is it?





What 3 letters change a girl into a woman?

No water in the lake? Despite the terminology of "sink" lol

Or maybe they were inside one of the rooms that was watertight >:D

A Cuckoo Clock

The door one was supposed to be "If you were the other door, which door would you say is the correct one?". But yours works too, haha. All the others are correct, although the last is just any clock.

[Jaybar]

God I thought the only one I got right was the slicing one XD Regular clocks can sing :O?
