I am starting a game of riddles with anyone who wants to play....the riddles are normally easy....I cannot post the answer and the next riddle unless someone at least guesses at the answer...I would love this game to get popular :)


First riddle

This thing all things devours:
Birds, beasts, trees, flowers;
Gnaws iron, bites steel;
Grinds hard stones to meal;
Slays king, ruins town,
And beats high mountain down.

Time? o:

I love riddles. :D

YAY, you are right!

Okay here is another one

Alive without breath,
As cold as death;
Never thirsty, ever drinking,
All in mail never clinking

Oh wow, this one is hard. e__e

The answer is fish

I can try an easier one

here is the third riddle

Voiceless it cries,
Wingless flutters,
Toothless bites,
Mouthless mutters.

wind

I have a riddle for you now

It cannot be seen, cannot be felt,
Cannot be heard, cannot be smelt.
It lies behind stars and under hills,
And empty holes it fills.
It comes first and follows after,
Ends life, kills laughter.

you got that right, as for your riddle is the answer DARK

I have a more challenging one for you now

An eye in a blue face
Saw an eye in a green face.
'That eye is like to this eye'
Said the first eye,
'But in low place
Not in high place.'

sun shining on daisies which are growing in a field.....that is one I haven't heard for a while

and yeah it was dark

let's see about a new riddle for you

No-legs lay on one-leg, two legs sat near on three legs, four legs got some.

that one is really hard,

fish on a little one-legged table, man at table sitting on a three-legged stool, the cat gets the bones

And you were right

umm.
Thirty white horses on a red hill,
First they champ,
Then they stamp,
Then they stand still

that one is too easy...teeth

A box without hinges, key or lid,
Yet golden treasure inside is hid

Egg

Mr. Black, Mr. Gray, and Mr. White are fighting in a truel. They each get a gun and take turns shooting at each other until only one person is left. Mr. Black, who hits his shot 1/3 of the time, gets to shoot first. Mr. Gray, who hits his shot 2/3 of the time, gets to shoot next, assuming he is still alive. Mr. White, who hits his shot all the time, shoots next, assuming he is also alive. The cycle repeats. If you are Mr. Black, where should you shoot first for the highest chance of survival?

Probability riddles are hard but I know this one

He should shoot at the ground.

If Mr. Black shoots the ground, it is Mr. Gray's turn. Mr. Gray would rather shoot at Mr. White than Mr. Black, because he is better. If Mr. Gray kills Mr. White, it is just Mr. Black and Mr. Gray left, giving Mr. Black a fair chance of winning. If Mr. Gray does not kill Mr. White, it is Mr. White's turn. He would rather shoot at Mr. Gray and will definitely kill him. Even though it is now Mr. Black against Mr. White, Mr. Black has a better chance of winning than before.


new riddle
If you throw me from the window,
I will leave a grieving wife.
Bring me back, but in the door, and
You'll see someone giving life

umm..let me think....widow and door vs window and possible birth

I GOT IT it's the letter 'n' wiNdow - widow door - doNor

You Throw The Outside, Cook The Inside

a cob of corn

how do you turn 4 arrows (the exact same size) into five?

face them the same way, putting two directly on top of the other creating another arrow (also the same size) in the space left that will face the opposite direction

One snowy night, Sherlock Holmes was in his house sitting by a fire. All of a sudden a snowball came crashing through his window, breaking it. Holmes got up and looked out the window just in time to see three neighborhood kids who were brothers run around a corner. Their names were John Crimson, Mark Crimson and Paul Crimson.
The next day Holmes got a note on his door that read '? Crimson. He broke your window.'
Which of the three Crimson brothers should Sherlock Holmes question about the incident?

when reading I almost missed the answer, but it is Mark Crimson

"?" = question MARK, so the note on the door reads "Question Mark Crimson. He broke your window."

Take 9 from 6, 10 from 9, 50 from 40 and leave 6.

How Come ??

SIX – 9 (IX) = S
9 (IX) – 10 (X) = I
40 (XL) – 50 (L) = X
===>SIX

Mary's father has 4 children; three are named Nana, Nene, and Nini. So what is is the 4th child's name?

There are two tennis players. Together they play a total of eight rounds. Each win five of the eight. None of the games end in a tie. How is this possible?

A man goes out drinking every night, returning to his home in the wee hours of every morning. No matter how much he drinks, he never gets a hangover. This drink is very well known, but is rarely consumed, served warm and taken straight from its source. The man is a sucker for a free drink, especially since he can't live without it.
What is his favorite drink?

They were indeed playing in pairs.

Blood? I'm about stumped, but I'm inclined to say he's a vampire.

What do breaks each time it's named?

Your wording is a little awkward but I think you meant "What breaks each time it is named" which is silence
and he was a vampire, thus blood :)

It is greater than God and more evil than the devil. The poor have it, the rich need it and if you eat it you'll die. What is it?

NOTHING

The one who makes it sells it.
The one who buys it doesn't use it.
The one who's using it doesn't know he's using it.
What is it

Coffin

Two cops walked into a room with no windows and found a dead man who obviously hung himself from the ceiling, though they couldn't figure out how. There was no chair beneath him that he might have jumped off of, or a table. Just a puddle of water. How'd he do it

He stood on a block of ice until it melted

there are two answers for this one, if you can guess one I will give you the other....

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

You ask a door - "If I were to ask the other door which door leads to the city of truth, what would he say". And then you pick the opposite door of what he tells you.

I do not know the other answer....

There is a common English word that is seven letters long. Each time you remove a letter from it, it still remains a common English word -- from seven letters right on down to a single letter. What is the original word, and what are the words that it becomes after removing a letter at a time?
