Riddle Me This...

kyodylee	Date: December 22, 2004 @ 12:04 AM now ... reminds me of that Mexican-Soul Food restaurant I like so much ... Nacho Mama!
onewhodreams	Date: December 22, 2004 @ 12:05 AM Hey is that near our neck of the woods?
imemine	Date: December 22, 2004 @ 12:06 AM
onewhodreams	Date: December 22, 2004 @ 12:09 AM OK people.... answer this one A man wanted to enter an exclusive club but did not know the password that was required. He waited by the door and listened. A club member knocked on the door and the doorman said, "twelve." The member replied, "six " and was let in. A second member came to the door and the doorman said, "six." The member replied, "three" and was let in. The man thought he had heard enough and walked up to the door. The doorman said ,"ten" and the man replied, "five." But he was not let in. What should have he said?
onewhodreams	Date: December 22, 2004 @ 12:10 AM and dammit!!! The answer is NOT cheese!!!
kyodylee	Date: December 22, 2004 @ 12:11 AM Oh dear OWD ... that is just too darn long for me to even read right now ... I'm still
onewhodreams	Date: December 22, 2004 @ 12:13 AM yeah right!! You just don't know the answer!! : points at kyodylee :
imemine	Date: December 22, 2004 @ 12:13 AM Uuuuuuuuuu---cheese?
kyodylee	Date: December 22, 2004 @ 12:21 AM No I don't ... yet. But the answer to a riddle is usually within the riddle itself and just like a magician, riddles use the equivalent of the "slight of hand" to lead you astray. You have to look past where they are trying to lead you to find the true answer. Especially for logic/mathematical type riddles.
imemine	Date: December 22, 2004 @ 12:23 AM He didn't knock! Ha! and he forgot to say cheese!
onewhodreams	Date: December 22, 2004 @ 12:25 AM minimee
onewhodreams	Date: December 22, 2004 @ 12:25 AM oh wait, I meant minimeen
kyodylee	Date: December 22, 2004 @ 12:27 AM So I would start this one by asking what does twelve have in common with six? What does six have in common with three? 6 is one half of twelve three is one half of six and five is one half of ten ... but five was incorrect ... so this cannot be what these numbers have in common. The old "slight of hand"
onewhodreams	Date: December 22, 2004 @ 12:28 AM ..we are getting a glimpse into how kyodylee's inner mind works :milla:
kyodylee	Date: December 22, 2004 @ 12:30 AM what else ... twelve has 6 letters in it six has 3 letters in it ten has 3 letters in it My answer is 3.
onewhodreams	Date: December 22, 2004 @ 12:32 AM Only took ya' 21 minutes... not bad
imemine	Date: December 22, 2004 @ 12:34 AM Damn, the Kyody rocks!!!
onewhodreams	Date: December 22, 2004 @ 12:38 AM What happened in 1961 that will not happen again for over 4000 years?
kyodylee	Date: December 22, 2004 @ 12:47 AM Well, this one could be solved a couple of different ways. If the answer is some kind of astronomical event, then I don't know the answer. But this could also be the "slight of hand" as well. You could also approach it by not viewing 1961 as a year but rather as a number.
onewhodreams	Date: December 22, 2004 @ 12:56 AM Yes, this one is very "slight of hand"
kyodylee	Date: December 22, 2004 @ 1:02 AM Well, I've tried adding up the numbers in 1961 but still can't relate it to anything 4000 years from now. I tried reading 1961 backwards and get 1691. At first that didn't seem to help either. But then it dawned on me that these numbers are really the same, with the 6 and 9 inverted. But that still doesn't relate to 4000 years from now.
sinai	Date: December 22, 2004 @ 1:11 AM that was the year Colby cheese hit the market!!
onewhodreams	Date: December 22, 2004 @ 1:14 AM Oh... You are so right with 1 very important thing!!
gravy426	Date: December 22, 2004 @ 1:18 AM three men get a hotel room for $21 the manger forgets there is a $7 dicount he gives the bellboy $7 to give the men, the bellboy keeps $1 & gives each man $2 each man paid $5, $5x3=$15 $15+$7=$22 how can this be?
sinai	Date: December 22, 2004 @ 1:20 AM the manger spent a dollar to buy a vowel?!?
kyodylee	Date: December 22, 2004 @ 1:21 AM Ok, thanks for the hint. 6969 9696 9966 6699 6996 9669 All those years are more than 4000 years away. Am I getting close?
ryanwilliams	Date: December 22, 2004 @ 1:24 AM because the stairs put her closer to her own apartment, but are less convenient for groups?
onewhodreams	Date: December 22, 2004 @ 1:25 AM Yeah, close enough... The year's date reads the same when turned upside down which will not happen again until 6009.
gravy426	Date: December 22, 2004 @ 1:26 AM all the numbers are used in a date?
ryanwilliams	Date: December 22, 2004 @ 1:42 AM Damn, I wish I'd been here, I knew that one, OWD!! Sorry 'bout the double post--I refreshed and it reposted. It happens.
ryanwilliams	Date: December 22, 2004 @ 1:45 AM A man is in prison. A second man comes to visit him for a bit, then leaves. The guard asks him who came to visit, to which he replies, "Brothers and sisters, I have none; But this man's father is my father's son."
redrasta	Date: December 22, 2004 @ 1:46 AM The men didnt pay $5 each...they paid $7... times 3 = 21. THEN, they got $7 knocked off as a discount, which means they only paid $21 - $7 = $14 between them. Add the $1 the bellboy took, plus the $2 each they got back, and it adds up to $21
redrasta	Date: December 22, 2004 @ 1:48 AM ooh, I got one!! Rich people need it; Poor people have plenty of it; If you eat it, you'll die. Wassit??
GTLive	Date: December 22, 2004 @ 1:53 AM Uh... Brother in law??? Welcome to riddle mayhem Boys and Girls.
gravy426	Date: December 22, 2004 @ 1:54 AM $7-$2=$5 each paid $5x3=$15 $15+$6=$21 plus the $1 for the bellboy =$22
kyodylee	Date: December 22, 2004 @ 2:00 AM redrasta - prolly not right that I anwser 'cause I've heard this one before ... oh well ... nothing!
ryanwilliams	Date: December 22, 2004 @ 2:12 AM kyodylee/gravy - the reason it doesn't add up right is because you have to PLEASE EXCUSE MY DEAR AUNT SALLY - the mathematical order of operation is parentheses, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, subtraction. You have to perform the functions in the right order to get right answer, which is what redrasta did.
ryanwilliams	Date: December 22, 2004 @ 2:17 AM Oh, and brother-in-law = teh wrong. redrasta, nothing is more tempting than cheating with these riddles, which is what I did to get the answer, so I'm gonnna keep mum.
geetarman	Date: December 22, 2004 @ 8:24 AM A prison guard finds an inmate dead in his cell. He is lying on the floor near a small puddle of water. How did he die....
onewhodreams	Date: December 22, 2004 @ 10:46 AM ryan - it's his son
gravy426	Date: December 22, 2004 @ 12:19 PM with an iceicle then it melted
GTLive	Date: December 22, 2004 @ 1:31 PM A giant 600 foot tidal wave came into the cell, drowned the inmate, then washed away and was down to a puddle by the time the guard got there. But where's the riddle?
imemine	Date: December 22, 2004 @ 1:40 PM Someone poisoned his pudding! Don’t know where the water came from.
ryanwilliams	Date: December 22, 2004 @ 4:11 PM yay dianne I second gravy on the inmate. Here's one... I have a page of riddles with no answers that my first psych professor gave me, I'll have to find it. Some of them drive me insane. Like this one: If it takes one chicken day to lay one egg, how long does it take a chicken-and-a-half to lay an egg-and-a-half?
tsand19151	Date: December 23, 2004 @ 8:54 PM a day and a half?
GTLive	Date: December 23, 2004 @ 9:03 PM One day? I mean they're laying 'em in stereo, right? This thread is Q1. What sometimes has 2 legs, sometimes has 3 legs, and sometimes 4 legs, and is weakest when it has the most? Q2. Who is known for asking this riddle, and why was it asked? There, now there's like 50 of 'em flying around! My little contrib to the melee
LocoYoda	Date: February 4, 2005 @ 11:03 PM geetarman--got hit in the back of the head with something made of ice... redrasta--nothing ryanwilliams--his son those are the only ones I know that haven't been answered... this thread looks old...
ryanwilliams	Date: February 9, 2005 @ 4:05 PM it is old, but i was thinking just the other day it needs to come back. I was telling these riddles to my friends while they were and it's neat to see the wheels turning all slow like that.
TameasDust	Date: February 10, 2005 @ 8:27 AM A 6-foot tall Magician had a water glass and was holding the glass above his head. He let it drop to the carpet without spilling a single drop of water. How could he manage to drop the glass from a height of six feet and not spill a drop of water?
tsand19151	Date: March 13, 2005 @ 5:10 PM ...there was no water in the glass.....
