I'm bored, and my reader had a book of riddles in it.


A woman shoots her husband.
Then she holds him under water for over 5 minutes.
Finally, she hangs him.
But 5 minutes later they both go out together and enjoy a wonderful dinner together.
How can this be?

...That's...a very depressing riddle.

[in-venting.livejournal.com]

Hm?

Yeah, I guess, but the answer isn't depressing, I promise.

[timeinback.livejournal.com]

It sounds like the first part is clothes, but 'shoots'? Hmm. This riddle is kind of tough riddle-ne.

[in-venting.livejournal.com]

If something is too easy, there isn't any sense of accomplishment when it's completed.

The woman is a photographer.

What can run but never walks, has a mouth but never talks, has a head but never weeps, has a bed but never sleeps?

[in-venting.livejournal.com]

That's right!

It's a river, I've heard that one before.

What force and strength cannot get through, I with a gentle touch can do.
And many in the street would stand, were I not a friend at hand.
What am I?

[crusades]

Never had much use for one, myself. A key.

I can run but not walk. Wherever I go, thought follows close behind. What am I?

[in-venting.livejournal.com]

You don't use keys?

And it's a nose (yuck).

This is an unusual paragraph. I'm curious how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it? It looks so plain you would think nothing was wrong with it! In fact, nothing is wrong with it! It is unusual though. Study it, and think about it, but you still may not find anything odd. But if you work at it a bit, you might find out! Try to do so without any coaching!

It's rather difficult to when you don't have one that will fit the lock.

It lacks an e, the most common letter in the English language.

Weight in my belly, trees on my back, nails in my ribs, feet do I lack.
What am I?

[in-venting.livejournal.com]

That was kind of hard! It's a ship, though, isn't it?

I am a rock group that has 4 members, all of whom are dead, one of which was assasinated. What am I?

[crusades]

Correct. You're very good at this.

If only they had instruments. Mt. Rushmore.

I give you a group of three. One is sitting down and will never get up. The second eats as much as is given to him, yet is always hungry. The third goes away and never returns. What are they?

[in-venting.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I used to have a teacher that would do this before we started class.

That's right!

And... I don't know what that is. Hm.

[crusades]

It's a particularly difficult one. The Riddler was loose two days before I cracked it.

I'll give you a clue: the third is a product of the second.

[in-venting.livejournal.com]

So, it took me longer than I thought, but the answer is a stove, fire and smoke?

[crusades]

Correct again. I'm impressed.

Pretending that Batman's long string of riddles and answers does not exist...

Easy—the woman shot a photograph of her husband, then developed the film.

Now, since you’re so bored, why don’t you solve this one for me?

On a single-lane street there are five houses, each one painted a different color, with people of different nationalities, who all drink different kinds of beverages, smoke different brands of cigar, and keep different pets. The Brit lives in a red house, the Swede keeps dogs, and the Dane drinks tea. The green house is next to, and on the left of, the white house. The owner of the green house drinks coffee. The person who smokes Pall Mall raises birds, and the owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhill. The man living in the middle house drinks milk. The Norwegian lives in the first house. The man who smokes Blends lives next to the one who keeps cats, the man who keeps horses lives next to the man who smokes Dunhill, and the man who smokes Blue Master drinks beer. The German smokes Prince, the Norwegian lives next to the blue house, and the man who smokes Blends has a neighbor who drinks water.

Who owns the fish?

LOL, I hated this puzzle.

[in-venting.livejournal.com]

Why are all these people smoking and drinking? Don't they know it's bad for their health?

And the German does.

Best hour/thirty minutes and half sheet of paper I ever spent~

[quark-assassin.livejournal.com]

Yes, but so is being too smart for your own good. I should know.

Correct. You don't have any riddles for me?

XD

[in-venting.livejournal.com]

Oh! Right! I almost forgot.

You can see me.
You can feel me.
If you touch me, you will die.
What am I?

[quark-assassin.livejournal.com]

How about the sun? You can see it and feel its heat, but I'm fairly positive that it will kill you if you get too close.

Here's another one: A man was to be sentenced, and the judge told him, "You may make a statement. If it is true, I'll sentence you to four years in prison. If it is false, I'll sentence you to six years in prison." After the man made his statement, the judge decided to let him go free. What did the man say?

[in-venting.livejournal.com]

That's right!

He said, "You'll sentence me to six years in prison."

I have joy in bringing two together, but darning my existence!
My life hangs by a thread, filled with ups, downs and resistance!
What am I?

[quark-assassin.livejournal.com]

Smart kid.

…Interesting, but the answer is a sewing machine. Now then, you’ve had enough purely logical puzzles—how about a math one, eh?
