2010DigitalBoy Posted January 29, 2005 Posted January 29, 2005 no, stupid, the answer to Lady Katana's question was egg! As for your I haven't the slightest clue.
Morpheus Posted January 29, 2005 Posted January 29, 2005 Baron: Your name. There is a certain crime, that if it is attempted, is punishable, but if it is committed, is not punishable. What is the crime?
Decadence Posted January 29, 2005 Posted January 29, 2005 [color=silver] The crime is suicide. But I have no other riddle to put up.[/color]
2010DigitalBoy Posted January 29, 2005 Posted January 29, 2005 Marsha took something. blew it up, and everyone was proud of her. Whats going on?
Baron Samedi Posted January 29, 2005 Posted January 29, 2005 [size=1]A balloon :p My riddle: Two vertical 750 ft posts have a 1000 ft rope stretched between their topmost points. The rope sags to within 250 ft from the ground. How far apart are the posts?[/size]
2010DigitalBoy Posted January 29, 2005 Posted January 29, 2005 Baron your losing your touch, would people be proud that she took a baloon? Imagine the feelings of the poor boy she took it from! TRY AGAIN. EDIT: answer to your riddle: 250 feet apart?

Imagine the feelings of the poor boy she took it from! TRY AGAIN.[/quote] A photograph? And your post never said anything about a boy o_O [b]Edit[/b]: The answer isn't 250ft, keep trying...[/SIZE]
2010DigitalBoy Posted January 29, 2005 Posted January 29, 2005 correct. and I edited to answer your riddle. Im changing it though, its 500 right?
Baron Samedi Posted January 29, 2005 Posted January 29, 2005 [size=1]No, 500 isn't right either, lol. Try drawing a diagram, that might help you...[/size]
Zeta Posted January 29, 2005 Posted January 29, 2005 I am horrible at riddles and all...but might as well give Baron's a whirl, nothing better to do. Are the posts 1000 feet apart? If the rope is 1000 feet rope is between them, that means they are stationary in the ground and holidng the rope taught. And if the rope sags the posts stay where they are, but just the rope itself sags down, since the poles are probably cemented to the ground or something, heh.. >_> EDIT: Well it is 1000 isn't it? Since it just talks about the vertical posts being a certain length, and the rope 1000 feet and then it sags downwards vertically to a certain height. That won't affect the distance between the posts, but the distance between the rope and the ground. Well there is my wild answer. I don't have any myself, heh.
Baron Samedi Posted January 29, 2005 Posted January 29, 2005 [size=1]Zeta, the rope is only a 1000ft long, but it sags, so how can the distance be 1000ft?[/size]
2010DigitalBoy Posted January 29, 2005 Posted January 29, 2005 They are directly next to each other because it is only truly 500 feet of the rope that matter.
Baron Samedi Posted January 29, 2005 Posted January 29, 2005 [size=1]Correct, but to describe the problem better for everyone, if the post is 750ft high, and the rope 250 feet off the ground, then the rope hang down 500ft per post, and seeing as the rope is only 1000ft long, then it is folded in half, and the posts are right next to each other. My riddle: Many things can create one. It can be of any shape or size. It is created for various reasons, and it can shrink or grow with time. What is it?[/size]
2010DigitalBoy Posted January 29, 2005 Posted January 29, 2005 My mom said a stiffy :laugh: :flaming: :mad: If thats correct PLEASE don't use another with an answer like that!
Baron Samedi Posted January 29, 2005 Posted January 29, 2005 [size=1]Not quite the answer o_O lol.[/size]
Zeta Posted January 29, 2005 Posted January 29, 2005 [quote name='Baron Samedi][size=1']Zeta, the rope is only a 1000ft long, but it sags, so how can the distance be 1000ft?[/size][/quote] I was assuming the posts were fixed to the ground and not able to move. And that somehow the rope would sag whether by losting the knots or something, heh. Besides, I am horrible at riddles as I stated, heh.
Sakura Posted January 29, 2005 Posted January 29, 2005 Another guess at another of your Riddles, Baron. I think that it's a baby/child/offspring. Because many things can create it, like different animals and they can shrink or grow, grow when they're young, shrink when they're old. Meh, just a random thought.
Baron Samedi Posted January 29, 2005 Posted January 29, 2005 [size=1]The posts can't move, lol. And it said sag, not fall off. But, that question is done! Try out my newest riddle. [b]Edit[/b]: Thats not the answer either, Okhami. Try thinking more abstract, in a way...[/size]
2010DigitalBoy Posted January 29, 2005 Posted January 29, 2005 Im thinking love.. power... I think this riddle is a little to open ended. Can you try to condense it more or just give us the d@mn answer.
Delta Posted January 29, 2005 Posted January 29, 2005 [COLOR=#B33D79]"Many things can create one. It can be of any shape or size. It is created for various reasons, and it can shrink or grow with time. What is it?" An educated guess: the words "all" and "everything"? *dodges an ashtray to the head* There's not much to go by and if Baron gives out more clues, he might just give away the answer. *sigh*[/COLOR]
Baron Samedi Posted January 29, 2005 Posted January 29, 2005 [size=1]The 'd@mn' answer it is then. The answer to my riddle was 'hole'. Many holes can form one hole, it can be any shape or size, and it can shrink or grow with time. That riddle did have a fair few possible alternate answers, but some of the ones listed here didn't actually meet all of the criteria. So, no cookies for you! My riddle: What is the value of 1/2 of 2/3 of 3/4 of 4/5 of 5/6 of 6/7 of 7/8 of 8/9 of 9/10 of 1,000? Do it without a calculator! It is incredibly easy if you do it correctly :)[/size]
Morpheus Posted January 29, 2005 Posted January 29, 2005 100 How often can you predict the score of a football game before it starts?
Decadence Posted January 29, 2005 Posted January 29, 2005 [color=silver] All the time, you just won't be right. Again I have no riddle. sorry.[/color]
Baron Samedi Posted January 30, 2005 Posted January 30, 2005 [size=1]Nice work Morpheus. Hope you didn't use a calculator :p My riddle: When Ashley was six years old she hammered a nail into her favorite tree to mark her height. Ten years later at age sixteen, Ashley returned to see how much higher the nail was. If the tree grew by five centimeters each year, how much higher would the nail be?[/size]
Morpheus Posted January 30, 2005 Posted January 30, 2005 SM: Wrong Baron: It would be at the same height. Trees grow at their tops.
