(stars)  Hi guys and gals !  (stars) 

 

Riddles are fun, so I thought we should have a place for some brain-teasers.

All kinds of riddles would be nice. Let´s see if there is one, the whole community can´t solve.

 

 

I´ll start:

 

This thing all things devours:
Birds, beasts, trees, flowers;
Gnaws iron, bites steel;
Grinds hard stones to meal;
Slays king, ruins town,
And beats high mountain down.

Very quick and correct answer. Well done my King. ;)

Because you don`t come up with the next, I´ll do.

 

I can be long, or I can be short.
I can be grown, and I can be bought.
I can be painted, or left bare.
I can be round, or square.
What am I?

To be fair, I did not know the answer. A lady friend told me. 

Finger Nails. 

 

So here is a King of Thieves original. I hope it isn't too easy. 

 

I bind people together,

Like unto a crest am I worn,

And passed down through generations,

Till my last son's children are born, 

I am old as any family,

I often define what they first did,

And though I am frequently given,

Only through marriage or death am I rid.

What am I?

Your Name...

 

 

 

                                                I can be small as a mouse,

                                                I can be tall as a tower,

                                                I follow the Sun, just like a flower,

                                                What am I?

Last name to be more precise, but yes. Apparently it WAS too easy. :PMaybe I should drop the 2nd verse to make it harder?

 

My answer to your riddle:

The moon?

 

I was informed it is NOT the moon...... hmm..........

Shadows

 

 

 

I can fly but I have no wings.

I can cry but I have no eyes.

Wherever I go, darkness follows me.

What am I?

The life of a Sam is only a succession of awkward moments. Like this one right here, I have no idea how to finish this statement. Thus, I'm just going to stop right here. :)

I guess it´s a coffin....

 

If you break me
I do not stop working,
If you touch me
I may be snared,
If you lose me
Nothing will matter.

An egg.. ( Or a slot machine ... Haha)

Only one color, but not one size,
Stuck at the bottom, yet easily flies,
Present in sun, but not in rain,
Doing no harm, and feeling no pain.

My life can be measured in hours,

A circle. 

 

I like this game xMOx!

 

Bridgekeeper1.jpg

 

Who would cross the Bridge of Death must answer me these questions three, ere the other side he see.

 

What... is your name?

 

What... is your quest?

 

What... is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?

 

(Sorry. This was the only riddle I could think of on the fly.   :P )

Happy to hear and also that you like Monty Python.   :)

What... is your name?

Sir Lancelot of Camelot

What... is your quest?

Seeking the Holy Grail

What... is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?

That´s when King Arthur ask if he means an african or european swallow....

 

But why do you asking us, "Well, you have to know these things when you're a king, you know!"

Man

 

 

(Not mine. This is a pretty famous one, so I expect it'll be easy.)

You have died and are in Limbo. There are two doors. One leads to Heaven and the other to Hell. Each has a guardian. One always tells the truth and the other always lies. You can only ask one, one question. What question will tell you where each door leads?

"Which would the other guardian say leads to Heaven?", then you pick the opposite...

 

                                        By my face is Time measured,

                                        I am best known as a lover's treasure,

                                        When new I am dark, then little by little grow bright

                                        But in a void, I can provide no light

 

                                        What am I?

THE MOON! Am I right?

 

If it is, my next riddle is:

 

"What is in my pocket?"

 

(Hey, it worked for Bilbo.)

At the time of the question. Bilbo did not know what was in his pocket. It was a question he posed to himself while trying to come up with a legitimate riddle. Gollum interpreted that as the riddle though and Bilbo just ran with it. It was the ring of course, Gollum's Precious, but since Gollum did  know not it was missing it would have been impossible for him to guess. Hence a bit of a cheat on on Bilbo's part.
