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.

1) You walk out the big hole in the wall

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.

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?

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

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.

1) they ran into eachother while playing tag.

2) because the other guy got him stuck there.

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 · 01-13-2004, 10:42 PM

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.

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.

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?
