A riddle!

If 2 + 2 = 5 show that I am the Archbishop of Canterbury

This is the kind of riddle that get's you thrown out of parties.

Hey, here's a fun riddle I heard from one of my friends.

You're in a room. There are no exits other then 2 identicle doors. One door leades to eternal suffering, the other to eternal bliss and comfort. These doors are, however, guarded by two identicle monsters. One of these monsters will always tell the truth when asked a question, and one will always lie.

Without knowing which door is which and which monster is which, what ONE question could you ask that would tell you which door leads to where?

Come on! that's the riddle from the Labyrinth. If you haven't seen it, just watch it. It's one of the best fantasy movies, even though it lacks gore a bit.

Is that the one where the gremlins steal here baby brother? and the door handles ask her the riddle? and the swamp of everlasting stinkiness?

Oh and the 20 Mortimer street wasn't the name of the street in my previous riddle, it's just where this book was published...


Correct this equation so that it makes sense by freely moving the given four digits but without introducing any additional mathematical symbols.

76=24

[Yarrek]

Thats the one!

[Phoenix]

Aha! Link, 7^2=49

The ^ isnt a symbol, i just dont know how to superscript for the power...

[Aether-Moose]

Uhh.. the two numbers were 76 and 24, not 79.

Congrats Deceiver. An upside down 9 is a 6. He just moved it.

Four Suspects - Jack Vicious, Sid Shifty, Alf Muggins and Jim Pouncer - are being interviewed at the scene of a murder. Each of the suspects is asked a question. Their answers are as follows:

Jack Vicious: "Sid Shifty committed the murder."
Sid Shifty: "Jim Pouncer committed the murder."
Alf Muggins. "I didn't commit the murder."
Jim Pouncer: "Sid Shifty is lying."

Only one of the four answers is the truth. Who committed the murder?


Feel free to post your own riddles...I'm just picking the less maths-oriented ones out of my book.

[Phoenix]

Ill have to think about that one tomorrw when im more awake... 4am right now

Also, any chance we could get some more maths orientated ones, especially for me

I love riddles, and maths... Im such a geek...

[Aether-Moose]

Hmm... Sid Shifty's and Jim Pouncer's replies can't both be lies... but if niehter of them can be, neither can Alf's (otherwise we would have both Alf and Sid or Jim as murderers). Crap.

Uh... I'm stumped. Neither Jim nor Alf can be lying without figuring out the rest of the riddle.

[P-Tail]

Alf is the murderer! Cool thread.:C
