Riddles

[Tyr]

This one took me a bit to figure out:

Two grandmothers, with their two granddaughters;
Two husbands, with their two wives;
Two fathers, with their two daughters;
Two mothers, with their two sons;
Two maidens, with their two mothers;
Two sisters, with their two brothers;
Yet only six in all lie buried here;
All born legitimate, from incest clear

I'm guessing all the guys died, with exception to the two husbands.

Two fathers, two sons, two brothers?

[Azalee]

Also incorrect. Everyone is accounted for in the ground.

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

What color is my shirt?

[Chreman]

nvm, looking forward to the answer to the 6 dead people one >_>

[Tricen]

What color is my shirt?

They both say the same colour. Now what?

[Tricen]

Also incorrect. Everyone is accounted for in the ground.

Maybe it has to do with the grand daughters still being in the womb because the wife was killed with them there, some kind of quagmire there.

Woman (1) has a Son (1). Woman (2) has a Son (2). Woman (1) marries Son (2). Woman (2) marries Son (1). (2 husbands/2 wifes, 2 mothers/2 Sons). Both couples have a daughter. The Daughters would then be a daughter to one woman and one man, granddaughter to the other. (2 grandmothers/2 granddaugthers, Two maidens/2 mothers, 2 fathers/2 daughters). And the two children from each woman would be brother and sister.

Tried to explain it best I could. Its late so I'll try again in the morning if its unclear... or just plain wrong... it might be.

[Waef]

Well they'd be half-siblings, but sounds good!

[Azalee]

Maybe it has to do with the grand daughters still being in the womb because the wife was killed with them there, some kind of quagmire there.

This is wrong.

Daeman, I just woke up so I will have to re-check your answer when I am capable of comprehending it a bit easier... Though it looks too indepth to be the answer I have.

[Tricen]

They were all Siamese twins!

[Azalee]

Your answer was right. =) Here is the answer from the website I found it on:

Spoiler: show

Two widows each had a son, and each widow married the son of the other and then each had a daughter

[Daeman]

Yeah, I kind of went crazy explaining it in detail to show each relationship from each line of the riddle. Probably should have just gone for the simple one-sentence answer.

[Azalee]

Here is another one that I found... Didn't take me too long to get it:

What row of numbers comes next in this series?

1
11
21
1211
111221
312211
13112221

I still can't get Khamsin's

I still can't get Khamsin's

This one was right. zoobernut's was wrong.

Spoiler: show

After the first line, each line describes the previous line:

One One
Two Ones
One Two, One One
(and so on...)

[zoobernut]

Ah that is so simple.... I thought it was some sort of hybrid Pascal's triangle or something with different properties you know:

1
121
1331
14641
ect...

[Azalee]

The simple ones are the ones that fuck with your head the most. ^_^

[Azalee]

This one is kind of stupid, but fun nonetheless.

A voice said to you "Coconuts, $5 a dozen" With your lightning quick arithmetic you calculated that if you sold those same coconuts to the coconut air assault team for the going rate of $3 per dozen that in no time at all you would be a millionaire. When I met you 15 seconds ago you told me the words you've just read. I ain't trying to be nosy but now that you've drug me this far, explain your math or quite lyin' and tell me your TRUE financial status!

[Metah]

Do you accept bits of string?
