Title: Riddles-chain
Post by: Tenko Kuugen on 2011-02-19 00:23:05
It's a little game that originated an etrernity ago in a emulation forum I was a mod at.
Basically, someone posts a riddle ( it doesn't matter if it's copy-pasted or self-made ) and others try to solve it. ( you have unlimited guesses but you need to keep them all in one post to avoid massive clutter. edit button is your friend )
if it isn't solved after 24 hours, the riddle poster choses the poster who was the closest and edits his name in his post. Then, the one who got it can post the next riddle. If he doesn't post one within 24 hours, whoever feels like it can post one.

I'd like to start

Quote
I stretch across the Horizon - Time is everywhere
Bind down the earth - Even the most indstructible things will decay after millions and billions of years
Yet I am uncatchable - Thats pretty self-explanatory
For you, for him, for Gods as well - Same thing
No one has ever seen me - How could you 'see' time?
No one has ever touched me - Same thing
And yet, you struggle to escape my grasp - We all always want 'more time' or stay young, etc
No end, no beginning - At least none we can prove
I am always and never at once - same thing
For I am watching over all things" - Time is pretty much relevant to absolutely everything


Hit-and-homerun:
Time

Reasoning behind the riddle added

LostWing gets to do the next riddle

Time? - Guess its not 'watching over all things'

Gravity? - Do gravitational fields end? or just become extremely weak at extremely far distances? Always and never at once...doesn't seem to fit.

The Sun?  - Lots of things don't work with this :|

Hmm...always and never at once...watching over all things...

Oh Goody, to constuct a riddle or go find a good one...(time elapses) ok couldn't find a great so here is a mediocre one.

You can take four letters out of this word, without changing its pronunciation.  What is the word?

HintWord is 5 letters long.Hint

Correct KM, I wanted to post an old X O logic puzzle thing, but figured it would defeat the purpose of the game.

EDIT:

OK, my riddle:

I have one eye
There's a hole in my head
My housemates are nuts
My neighbour is an arsehole
My best friend is a cunt
What unfortunate thing am I?

I assume it's because she thinks the man will come to her sister's funeral as well, and she'll be able to ask for his number there.

While I am alive I do not speak.
Those who want to take me captive and cut off my head.
They bite my bare body.
I do no harm to anyone unless they cut me first.
Then I soon make them cry.

Google's servers.

Actually the answer could be any number of "always on" electronic systems. A fridge, perhaps?

With pointed fangs it sits in wait,
With piercing force it doles out fate,
Over bloodless victims proclaiming its might,
Eternally joining in a single bite.

Since nobody proposed a riddle for a while, I will :

I am at the beginning of the night

I am in the index of any forum
I am in all the menus

Who am I?

Two answers: your uncle or your father-in-law's brother. We don't know whether he is the brother of your son's paternal grandfather or his maternal one.

There is a pear tree in your yard.
On this tree there are pears.
After a strong wind blows, there are neither pears on the tree nor on the ground.
How?

(Hint: no tornadoes or cliffs, also not in my belly)
Title: Re: Riddles-chain
Post by: Covarr on 2011-02-26 18:47:41
Methinks somebody picked the pairs during the strong wind.

Nope.
Title: Re: Riddles-chain
Post by: idl12 on 2011-02-26 19:34:44
The wind blew away one from each pear, so now it's single? or maybe the pears are now on the yard?
Title: Re: Riddles-chain
Post by: Covarr on 2011-02-26 20:12:43
There were pairs on the tree. I'm guessing only two. If the wind blows one down, then there is one on the tree, and one on the ground. In which case, neither the tree nor the ground has pears.

Title: Re: Riddles-chain
Post by: Opine on 2011-02-27 00:43:54
Covarr got is specifically. There were only two pears. So when one fell there weren't pears "plural" anywhere. There was one on the ground and one in the tree.

I am aware, I'm just bored and came up with an alternate solution

I never take off my belt.
I personally know a dangerously insane bio-exorcist, as well as the person who killed Sirius Black.
I was once portrayed in film as a cat.
Who am I?

Orion?

I'm pretty sure that's right because of the constellation and MIB.
But I need to go to bed. So if someone thinks of a riddle while I'm sleeping go ahead and have at it :)
Title: Re: Riddles-chain
Post by: Covarr on 2011-02-27 02:38:12
That is absolutely right. The constellation has a belt, there was a cat named Orion in MIB, and two of the stars on it are Betelguise and Bellatrix.

Ah, there's a Bellatrix in it! My first thought was "a drape?"   :-)

I live above a star, and yet I never burn,
I have eleven neighbors, and yet none of them turn,
I am visited in sequence, first, last or in between,
P.Q.R.S. are my initials,
Now, tell me what I mean.
