That damn brainteaser of Weis' got me all thinking. What are the toughest riddles that you know? Here be a couple of my favourites :1:]Today he is here to trip you up and he will torture you tomorrow. Yet he is also there to ease the pain when you are lost in grief and sorrow. 2:]Who killed one-fourth of mankind? 3:]We are very little creatures; all of us have different features. One of us in glass is set; one of us you'll find in jet. Another you may see in tin, and a fourth is boxed within. If the fifth you should pursue, it can never fly from you. What are we? 4:]Some will use me, while others will not, some have remembered, while others have forgot. For profit or gain, I'm used expertly, I can't be picked off the ground or tossed into the sea. Only gained from patience and time, can you unravel my rhyme? IP: Logged |

Since there is only one riddle left.. time for more. (I'm bored anyways.. hehe)5:]I run, though I have no legs to be seen. I possess no heat, yet I do have steam. I have no voice to let words out, but from far away you can still hear me shout. What am I? 6:]I have many feathers to help me fly. I have a body and head, but I'm not alive. It is your strength which determines how far I go. You can hold me in your hand, but I'm never thrown. What am I? 7:]You must keep this thing, its loss will affect your brothers. For once yours is lost, it will soon be lost by others. 8:]Often talked of, never seen. Ever coming, never been. Daily looked for, never here. Still approaching, coming near. Thousands for its visit wait, but alas for their fate. Tho' they expect me to appear, they will never find me here. What am I? there ya go.. have fun. IP: Logged |

ok uhmm 6) badminton birdie 7) my head If we're solving all of these, you're just going to have to think of more! I love weird little brainteasers like this. I thought all of the colored lightbulb questions on the GRE were fun, so obviously I'm warped.  [This message has been edited by Bex (edited 04-01-2001).] IP: Logged |
