After 17 pages of riddles, it seems like the well is dying out. Or is it?
Here's an easy riddle.
You are being chased by a bunch of evil robots from Venus, including a sulfur-colored, explosive, nuclear, extra-dangerous robot. So far you have ran 13 miles. You finally hide up a tree with 19 branches. The robots, being stupid AIs and all being the same color as this text minus a couple, just run around in circles around the tree, and never think of going up the tree.
It all began when you killed their leader, a mad scientist, who said of the robots "there are less of them than the days it take for Venus to revolve around the sun."
As you are stuck in the tree with nothing to do, you notice the shapes of the robots. One has a spinning disk on what appears to be it's head. Another has a really twisted arm. Three of them are rusty - this mad scientist was clearly on a budget. However only a third of the rusty ones were completely red, other wise you wouldnl't be so darn scared would you. Then they chop down the tree and you have to run again.
While you are fleeing for you life, tell me, how many robots were there?
EDIT : Re-reading this riddle, I notice that a lot of it is taking place in past and present tense. darn. Anyway, I'm too lazy to fix it, it's still solvable

for the one with the twins and the alcohol, the poison was in the ice cubes. since one twin drank his fast, and the other drank his slow, the ice melted in the drink and the twin got poisoned
for the chocolate one, pippy said "in math, one must balance all equations.
10 cents = $0.10
so if you square both sides, 100 cents = $0.01. so if she has 2 pennies it must equal 2 dollars
as for the one with the tree in the middle of the lake, take the rope and tie it to one of hte trees in the forested area behind you. walk around hte lake carrying the rope back to where you were originally and tie the rope on. the rope will be looped around the tree in the center. you can then shimmy across the rope "bridge"

Okay, since no one is about to answer my DJ riddle, I'll just post the answers.
The DJ left work temporarily to go kill his girlfriend. As he got into his car he was satisfied because he had been wanting to do it. As he drives back to work, he turns on the radio to THE STATION THAT HE WORKS FOR. The music that is playing is messed up, REALLY messed up, and he realizes the whole world will know that he wasn't at his job at the time of his girlfriend's death. To save himself the humiliation of being tried and convicted for murder, he pulls over and shoots himself.

Correct! Although now that I look at the riddle again, I messed it up when adding the ridiculous embellishments so that it's not possible to be *sure*. Here's another riddle, and as streaming blue says "let's make it Neopiany"... Sabre-X is becoming increasingly annoyed with the greediness of the inhabitants of Tyrrania. They just keep appearing in droves to steal his precious omelette!!! A year ago the omelette appeared in the Northern Reaches of Tyrannia... but once word of mouth spread it did not last long.
On the first day a Red Shoyru named Kawlet turned up to take a slice. As soon as he got home he contacted his friend Choosi the Chia and told him about the free food. Choosi lived in Neopia Central and it would take him two days to reach Tyrannia.
On the second day Kawlet turned up again to take his free slice. As soon as he got home he contacted his friend Zirpi the Pteri to come and feast upon the omelette! Zirpi, once again, lived two days away.
On the third day Kawlet was met by Choosi who had just arrived, and they both took a slice of delicious pepper omelette. As soon as they got home they each phoned one new person each, who, once again, lived two days away.
On the fourth day Kawlet, Choosi and Zirpi all turned up and took a slice... when they got home all three of them phoned a new friend, who, strangely enough lived two days away...
and so on... our question is as follows :
The whole omelette is enough for one million servings. If every single neopet who arrives at the omelette tells a new friend to come and visit each time, and every single friend takes two days to arrive. On what day is there not enough to go around?This is as much math as riddle, but it has a special signifcence for me, and I solved it in less than ten minutes so it is definitely possible! |
