oh and the answers for the other riddles were
shake hands (upper class society) and
to eat the puny mortal (got these riddles from dragon court)

[Atronflame]

I would have said 'To eat the puny mortal' (I played Dragon Court as well at some point... awesome game, just hated how you only had limited quests) but it didnt seem to make a lot of sense. Anyway.
Would never have got the first one tho.

The first one is "Silence".

[e-man2001]

good riddles trage...

and now i have one:

"how many people does it take to realize that 'what has 4 leges in the morning, 2 in the afternoon, and 3 in the evening?' does NOT come frome shadowgate??"

[Jack of Spades]

Name the only thing that when you call it's name, it instantly vanishes.
A cat!

A boat is floating in the bay. There is a ladder on the side of the boat. Each rung is 6 inches apart. 2 are underwater now. 2 hours later the water rises 3 feet(tides rain whatever). How many rungs are underwater now?

[Zweihander]

2, since the boat floats.
The famous ShadowGate question was actually the riddle used by the Sphinx in ancient Greek myth. Very, very old.

[Atronflame]

"What has forests but no trees, lakes but no waters, and towns but no buildings?"

[dragonglove]

I'm actually pretty bad at riddles myself but I got three long ones.

You are in a room with no doors and no windows. There is a table and a mirror. How do you get out? Hint: The answer plays on words.

The next two are supposed to allow a sort of "yes or no" question and answer.

Two guys were in a cabin with a door and a window that was larger than the door. Nobody came into or out of the cabin. How did the men die? The last thing they saw was white. Hint: They did not die of old age.

Two men were in a room with no doors and no windows. There was a table and 53 bicycles. One man shot the other. Why? Hint: more play on words.

[IHateMakingNames]

1) You walk out the big hole in the wall

[Apletto]

"What has forests but no trees, lakes but no waters, and towns but no buildings?"

Both the Moon and Mars have areas refered to by those names(but no trees, water, or buildings as of yet), though I doubt that'd be the answer.


You are in a room with no doors and no windows. There is a table and a mirror. How do you get out? Hint: The answer plays on words.

Two guys were in a cabin with a door and a window that was larger than the door. Nobody came into or out of the cabin. How did the men die? The last thing they saw was white. Hint: They did not die of old age.

1)a)I would pick up the table and break the one way mirror with it, then walk out.
b)If in fact it turned out to be a normal mirror I would woe the fact that I had wasted the only two tools I had at my disposal in one go. Then I would follow hell-ryu out the hole.

2)Did the two men get fried by the sun through the giant window to their metal cabin?

[Atronflame]

Umm... a rain of baseballs cascaded thru the window and broke both of their noses. And they bled to death.

[dragonglove]

Remember the yes or no questions. So far, no one's come close. I'm itching to give the answers but I'll wait until tommorrow.

[Dona Maria]

Two guys were in a cabin with a door and a window that was larger than the door. Nobody came into or out of the cabin. How did the men die? The last thing they saw was white. Hint: They did not die of old age.

Two men were in a room with no doors and no windows. There was a table and 53 bicycles. One man shot the other. Why? Hint: more play on words.

1) they ran into eachother while playing tag.

2) because the other guy got him stuck there.

[Illuminatus]

Room with mirror and table:I would look in the mirror to see what I saw. i would take the saw and cut the table in half. Two halves make a hole, so I'd crawl through the hole.

[Apletto]

That's what I said, break the table and walk through the hole. Just his was in words that are less stupid than my own.

[e-man2001]

two guys with bicycles: bicycles is in reference to playing cards, so since there were 53 (52 is a full regular deck) one man cheated at cards and they killed eachother in the ensuing argument.

[IHateMakingNames]

1) If two hours ago, it was as long after one o'clock in the afternoon as it was before one o'clock in the morning, what time would it be now?

2) There is a seven-letter word in the English language that contains ten words without rearranging any of its letters." What is the word?

3) An iron horse with a flaxen tail.
The faster the horse runs,
the shorter his tail becomes. What is it?

4) From house to house he goes,
A messenger small and slight.
And whether it rains or snows,
He sleeps outside at night.
What am I?

5) How many?

[Apletto]

1)9:30 afternoon

5) 5

[Rayinne]

IHMN #1 - 9:00 PM.
dglove #2 - Nobody came in or out, meaning no people. But an avalanche came in just fine.

Here's an old one:

You walk into a room and the door locks behind you. There are two other doors there. A piece of paper hung on the wall informs you that one of them leads to certain death and the other leads to safety. It also says that there are two computers in the room, one programmed to give true facts, and the other to give lies. It doesn't say which computer is which. You may ask one question to a computer.

How do you escape?

[Minor Dizaster]

Ask either computer what the other would say to the question, "Which door leads to certain death?" Then, since that will be a lie either way, go through that door.

[Lost in Time]

You take out your GPS and figure it out.

[Rayinne]

GPS might be able to tell you where you are, but I doubt it knows what a death-trap is. Anyway, MD got it...in reverse. I think he likes sending people to death-traps.

[Atronflame]

Yeah, I think he meant to say 'go through the other door.'

Hehe.

[IHateMakingNames]

Raylene got #1 right... The rest are unanswered

[CelesJessa]

(I had to try these out before I went to bed)

IHMN:
#2 is Heroine(s), isn't it? (I would say the "Heroines" but that would make it 8 letters)

#3 is a bomb, the "flaxen" tail is the rope the burns

#4 is a telephone wire perhaps?

[IHateMakingNames]

2) No

3) No

4) No

[CelesJessa]

Was I even close? Are you looking for the SPECIFIC answer, or would you take something that is basically the same thing? Just curious... I like riddles and it drives me nuts if I can't figure one out ^_^;; heheh.

[IHateMakingNames]

Well, for #2 I just don't see 10 words in Heroine, or Heroines

For #3 and 4, those answers I guess could work, but I got these questions off of a site a long time ago, and they had specific answers...

For #5, you would have needed to see the show that I am using it off of (I doubt anyone has, but I use tat question on everyone to annoy them)

[CelesJessa]

For #2, yeah I know, but I do see a lot of words in Heroine, and I know it was used in some riddles.

I have a good one (am I allowed to ask one before the others are asked?)

I have two American coins in my hand. They add up to $.15 (15 cents) and one of the coins is not a nickel. What are the two coins I have in my hand?

[IHateMakingNames]

A dime and a nickel. I saw that Scrubs...

[CelesJessa]

Aw. you had to ruin all of my fun. Good job. It was actually in a magic trick book I had when I was little. ^_^

Okay, here's another one:

A farmer and his hired hand are carrying out grain to the barn. The farmer carries one bag of grain while his hired hand carried two bags. Which one had the heavier load, and why?

(Yeah, I know my riddles don't rhyme or aren't as clever, but *shrugs* oh well)

[IHateMakingNames]

Farmer, his bag is full. Hired hand has empty bags.

BOOYA

[CelesJessa]

Psh. You're too good at these... I'll have to think of something hard... later.

Forwards I'm heavy, backwords I'm not. What am I?

[IHateMakingNames]

I've already gotten a ton of answers, perhaps I should not answer this one.

[CelesJessa]

Jeez, You even have clever answers.... Curse you.. :P My riddles aren't hard... I know a really hard one... but I can't remember it.... I'll think of it... sooner or later... and even you won't be able to to figure it out!
but for now:

#1: Jack bets Craig $100 that he can predict the score of the hockey game before it starts. Craig agrees, but loses the bet. Why did Craig lose the bet?


#2: A woman shoots her husband.
Then she holds him under water for over 5 minutes.
Finally, she hangs him.
But 5 minutes later they both go out together and enjoy a wonderful dinner together.
How can this be?

[IHateMakingNames]

1) I actually don't know at the moment. As a stupid answer, I shall say that there was no hockey game.

2) Takes a picture, put picture under water thingy in dark room, hangs it to dry, then they go have dinner.

[CelesJessa]

Wow, I was expecting you to get the 1st one, but not the 2nd one.
Well, the 2nd one is right, but I'll leave the first one to see if you or anybody else can figure it out later, I'm going to bed now. ^^;;

[IHateMakingNames]

Oh... I read it wrong...

1) He guessed it was 0-0, since game hasn't started, Jack is right and wins.

I read it as Craig was the better and lost...

[Apletto]

1) Before the game started, Jack bet Craig $100 that he could predict the score of the hockey game. Then he predicted the score just before it ended.

2)This is answered, but I still have to say that Harry Houdini's wife did all that stuff to him all the time. Also, I'm sure they went out to eat after some of the shows.

[Dante]

You have a round birthday cake. With three straight slices of a knife, divide the cake into 8 equal pieces.

[Rayinne]

8 pieces in three cuts? No way. Three cuts can only do 4 to 7 pieces.

[Apletto]

You cut through the middle, you cut perpendicular to the first cut(making four), and then you cut it in half top to bottom(making 8). Three dimensions in this world Ray.

[Dante]

There's another solution... But I forgot. Oh, wait, I remember now.

[Viktor Von Russia]

#1: Jack bets Craig $100 that he can predict the score of the hockey game before it starts. Craig agrees, but loses the bet. Why did Craig lose the bet?

Because he didn't have to predict it CORRECTLY. All he had to do was predict a score before the game started.

[Forever Zero]

#1: Jack bets Craig $100 that he can predict the score of the hockey game before it starts. Craig agrees, but loses the bet. Why did Craig lose the bet?

Because the hockey game was a repeat, and Jack had already seen it, but Craig hadn't.

[IHateMakingNames]

Four answers for that 1 riddle... All of them work.

[Atronflame]

You are on a different world, full of people who live on different laws than you. However, one of these laws takes the most effect - for example, there is pepper, but no salt. There is cheese on pizza, but no sausages. There is a door, but no entrance or exit. What is the law?

[safetysteal]

Thank god for Shadowgate. :D


you mean Oedipus :P thats where it first was anyway, hehe.

[Drooling Iguana]

You are on a different world, full of people who live on different laws than you. However, one of these laws takes the most effect - for example, there is pepper, but no salt. There is cheese on pizza, but no sausages. There is a door, but no entrance or exit. What is the law?Only things with a repeated letter are allowed.

Closing for length.
