Anyone in the mood for riddles?

I am - it's a topic which occasionally comes up in most guilds, and it was only a matter of time before it came here. I think I have used all of these riddles, except maybe #2, in at least one guild, so some people probably know the answers, in which case don't tell ^.^

1) The beggining of eternity
The end of time and space
The beggining of every end
And the end of every place.
(What the hell is this?)

2) It's in the middle of a desert. There's a naked person who is dead.. Fourty feet away there are a pile of clothes which could fit several people. How did the person die, and what happened? (hint : there is nothing dirty or salacious in the answer)

3) There is a metal construction in the middle of the woods. It has several hundred people, all of them dead, and they all died at the same tiem (not starvation or thirst). What happened?

4) Why did I put two dead-people-how-did-they-die riddles in a row?

1) The letter "e". My friend did this one to me. It was so funny. I went crazy. E_E lol
2) Err... O.o
3) Trees fell on them?
4) Because you wanted to? They were clues for each other?

What on Earth is lengthened when cut?

You'll never get it because the answer is not cut...I'll tell you in a little while ;D

I think I know the answer, but I have heard this riddle before so it doesn't count.

I'll give the people who haven't heard it a chance to figure it out - otherwise it wouldn't be fun, would it?

[Lappi]

Hair? If you cut it, it grow faster...

If you cut some NP off of your savings, your Neopets are happier -- cut NP, gain happiness! ^^ whee!

Err... Great, now I'm thinking about worms when you cut them, they have more than one body *shivers*

I don't know. I bet the answer's really good. Could you IM me the answer, Sara? (I think it was Sara)

[aachewwthree]

darn, what is legnthed when cut?

I'd say phone bills when we cut off our second phone line.....heh heh

The problem with this riddle is that when you say "today" it's not clear whether it's the today after tomarrow, or the "today" of the day when yesterday was tomarrow, or if "today" was just "today".

Huh...I read the riddle a while ago...but I'm pretty darned sure that today was just...well, today.

Anyway, your answer isn't quite it, but you're so close!

Eee!! I wish I had gotten to this page earlier! I love riddles...

- There is a boy who is walking down a long road, he is trying to get to the "Town of Truth" but he comes to a fork in the road and doesn't know which way leads to the "Town of Truth" or the "Town of Lies" there is a villager standing in the middle of the road so the boy decides to ask which way is the right path to the "Town of Truth" the boy can only ask one question, what should he ask the villager?
(yeah, I saw that one on t.v.)


- If a train headed east bound is travelling at 20 mph with 5 passangers and a load of coal (it's a strange train) were on the same track as a train heading west bound at 20 mph carrying 30 passangers and a half load of coal were to collide while travelling down a hill and more than half of the east trains coal spilled onto the border of America while only 10% spilled onto Canada's border which killed 25 passangers, but the trains collided right in the center of the borer, where would the survivors be buried?

I think I know this one. You ask "Which way to your town?". The Town of Truth guy will point to the Town of Truth. The Town of Lies guy will point to the Town of Truth.

Depends. If the survivors were lawyers, it wouldn't matter, since lawyers can't tell the truth and you'd have to bury them anyway. I wouldn't bury other survivors, except politicians... ;D

A shadow?

YES! That is the answer!

Yep.

My brothers have a math teacher who had a riddle for an extra credit question. The answer is impossible because of the phraseology of the question. Here it is:

What on Earth is lengthened when cut?

You'll never get it because the answer is not cut...I'll tell you in a little while ;D

The answer is a trench, but you dig a trench, you don't cut it. Isn't that such a stupid riddle? It should be "a path through the woods" or something like that; you cut a path in the woods and is lengthened when cut. There must be something wrong with that math teacher...

Thanks for the answer, it really wasn't what I thought it would be, though.

O.o

I have a riddle that sounds like Meowth's but if you think about it, her answer won't work here.

You are in a room with two doors, one leads to an escape and the other to certain death. There are two people in the room, one always lies and the other always tells the truth. They both know the other one's true nature but, naturally, you don't. You can only ask one of them one question to determine which door is the right one. What question will you ask?

UGH, there was one similar to this that me teacher asked before... *thinks*
If we try, "Which one of you is the liar?" then the one who tells the truth would say the other guy, and the guy who was lying would say the other guy O.O
OH!! This was it! "If you were the other guy, which way would you lead me to?" The one who tells the truth would point to the one that leads to death, while the other O.O wait a min, that doesn't work! The other guy would choose the correct way, but the truthful guy would... NO WAIT!! I GOT IT!!
"If you were the other guy, which way would you lead me to"-- The truthful guy would lead you to the wrong place, and the liar would lie about it, so if he didn't lie, but he was the liar, he would bring you to the right one, but since he's a liar he would lead you to the wrong one too!! Right, so just go through the door that none of them chooses.

you ask one of the guys "which door will the other guy say is the death door?"
if the guy is a lier he will say that the other guy will point him to the "death door"
if he tells the truth he will say the other guy will point him to the "death door"
choose the other door.

Exactly what I said, but I think I've confused more people than you have, meowth!
