heres another riddle everyone enjoy

There is a two foot long plastic boat in the bathtub, the boat is filled with metal nuts and bolts. The boat tips over, dumping the contents into the water. With the nuts and bolts in the water, will the water level in the bathtub rise, fall or stay the same as it was when the nuts and bolts were in the boat?

This is a most unusual paragraph. How quickly can you find out what is so unusual about it? It looks so ordinary you'd think nothing was wrong with it - and in fact, nothing is wrong with it. It is unusual though. Why? Study it, think about it, and you may find out. Try to do it without coaching. If you work at it for a bit it will dawn on you. So jump to it and try your skill at figuring it out. Good luck - don't blow your cool!

Does anyone know the answer to my riddle?

[dark king]

ok i admit this was a hard one but not something totally unsolvable, though the rest of the riddles where more with simple logic, mine was more with a more inner view, but i have seen many bright people here on otakuboards who could have had a simmilair answer, well hope your guess was like it.

riddle:
Two sides that still remain, even after years of strain, as bad luck covered by my vanity, in me dwells insanity.

answer:
Reflection of the mind, as my two sides state my charismatic and treacherous face, mirroring eyes wich when looked upon shine with such intensity, it will deform your reality, only to return to it and not being able to tell where you are anymore, lost between a one shot decision, of wich way it`s safe to stay and you dare not make it and inside the mirror dwells insanity that is you.

just pm me if you want more of these.

[recca hanabishi]

wow, those are some tough riddles indeed.
well i have one, its not to hard but it was the only one i could remember.

a white chest with a golden treasure inside,
no way to open it, but smashing it will lose the treasure
but be gentle and all will be revealed

what is the white chest.

its rather simple if i do say so myself.

edit: and i just remembered another.

at 9 oclock it walks on four legs, at noon it walks on 2, and at 6 it walks on 3. what is it.

[Rezzard]

The "white chest" has to be an egg. Although i do prefer them scrambled in which case smashing them is alright.

[QUOTE]at 9 oclock it walks on four legs, at noon it walks on 2, and at 6 it walks on 3. what is it.[/QUOTE]

This a man. We start by crawling on 4 legs, then we walk upright on 2 and at the end of our life on 3 with a cane being a third. Unless you've got a walker then it's 6 or a electricwheelchair then you're driving around town.

[recca hanabishi]

hehe, you got it.

im not the best at riddles. my friend has an entire book of them but there all rather advanced level. they make my brain hurt. :animeangr

I'm going to go with a waterfall. You could be talking a specific waterfall but the generic answers will suffice for me.

Unless you're talking about old faithful but he doesn't run forever...

My first is in tea but not in leaf
My second is in teapot and also in teeth
My third is in caddy but not in cosy
My fourth is in cup but not in rosy
My fifth is in herbal and also in health
My sixth is in peppermint and always in wealth
My last is in drink, so what can I be?

heres another riddle everyone enjoy :animesmil

The 22nd and 24th presidents of the United States had the same mother and the same father, but were not brothers. How can this be possible?

[shinji172]

[QUOTE]silver_blade:The answer is teacher i believe[/QUOTE]

Correct :animesmil . nice job on that.

Damn that riddle. Ah well, il just have to give the next one a try. Ummmm...ok im going to have to work on this one. I think it may be to do with american history.

And finally, two new riddles:

(I think there are 2 possible answers for the first one...)

1)[I]You throw away the outside and cook the inside. Then you eat the outside and throw away the inside. What did you eat? [/I]

2)What can you catch but not throw?

Good luck.

[Rezzard]

[QUOTE=shinji172]

2)What can you catch but not throw?
[/QUOTE]

A Cold. Any other microbe as well i suspect.

[QUOTE=D. Resurrected]

He is/was the same man. I don't know enough American history so i don't know who he is/was.

Correct! Theres still one more to solve though. (for reference, its:
You throw away the outside and cook the inside. Then you eat the outside and throw away the inside. What did you eat? )

[sakurasuka]

[QUOTE=shinji172]
1)[I]You throw away the outside and cook the inside. Then you eat the outside and throw away the inside. What did you eat? [/I] [/QUOTE]

[size=1]Corn? You throw away the husk, cook the inside, and eat the corn and throw away the inside.[/size]

[quote name='shinji172']2)What can you catch but not throw?[/quote]

[size=1]A cold? Maybe.

Edit- Gah, someone already got that one >_>



A man took a two-day trip on horseback. He did not make any un-necesary stops. It took him [i]exactly[/i] two days. He rode out on Tuesday, and returned on Tuesday.
How is that possible?

[shinji172]

[QUOTE][B]sakurasuka said[/B]:Corn? You throw away the husk, cook the inside, and eat the corn and throw away the inside.[/QUOTE]

Correct. There is another possible solution to it though.

I can only think of one other riddle at the moment. Good luck (you probably wont need it though :animeswea ).


[QUOTE]Give me food, and I will live; give me water, and I will die. What am I?[/QUOTE]

[sakurasuka]

[QUOTE=shinji172]Correct. There is another possible solution to it though.
[/QUOTE]

[size=1]Hm... I'll have to think on that on [:[/size]

[quote name='shinji172']Give me food, and I will live; give me water, and I will die. What am I? [/quote]

[size=1]Fiiiiire. Feed the flames, they'll live, douse them with water, they go out.
