I remember some time ago, there was a thread about all sorts of riddles.
Time to get a new one mesa thinks ...
(and I hope no one knows the answer to this one, otherwise it's pretty lame)
Think of words ending in -GRY. Angry and hungry are two of them. There are only three words in the English language. What is the third word? The word is something that everyone uses every day. If you have listened carefully, I have already told you what it is.
GordonSkywalker
I can't figure it out either.
yerssot
riddle riddle, riddle me this
GordonSkywalker
I have been staring at this thing but still can't figure it out.
Ushgarak
Literally speaking, is the answer not language? I would be more certain were I not worried that riddle is translated.
GordonSkywalker
No duffy, you got it backwards. It has to end with G-R-Y. And Ush might have a point.

Lara
I havent got a clue!
but I've got a riddle for you!
"if it takes a dog, 1 and 1/2 hours to reach the middle of the forest, how long does it take the dog to reach the other side?"
Ushgarak
Reach the other side from the start or the middle?
Raz
Ush is right: 'language'
Lara
from the middle, how long will it take the dog to reach the other side?
Ushgarak
1 and a half hours then
Corran
Yes Ush and Raz I see it now. Doh.
Lara, This is going to be silly not clever.
Lara
its really simple! dont think about it too much!
how long will it take the dog to reach the other side from the middle?
yerssot
yupyup, silly I know
yerssot
why would he want to return?
Member.
it depends on the elvation of the forrest. and how dense the forest is at some points.hm...
yerssot
and if he can take a cab
Ushgarak
Or if the forest catches fire.
Corran
The dog doesn't make it cos it gets eaten by a b ear.
yerssot
does the dog have any connections to the helicopter-rescue crew?
Lara
no, ok this is obviously too taxing for you lot, its so simple its ridiculos!
the answer is: ONE STEP.
once the dog has reached the middle of the forest it takes one step to get to the other side!
Corran
Nope sorry that's wrong I was right, because we took so long to guess it a bear came along and ate the dog, poor thing.
Lara
*trips over* WHAT! you give up that easily?
Corran
I only argue with people on a similar or higher intellect level, sorry, keep studying
Lara
.........................................................................................................!
Corran
Words appear to allude you my dear.
GordonSkywalker
Has anyone figured out the first riddle yet? The one that started this whole thing?
Corran
Yes it was Language.
Ushgarak
Yes, I did!
Corran was right about the second- silly, not clever...
Corran
What's that tinkling sound?
Lara
*mumbles.....faery dust!*
Ushgarak
If the puzzle you solved
before you solved
the puzzle you solved
after you solved
the puzzle you solved
before you solved
this one, was harder than
the puzzle you solved
after you solved
the puzzle you solved
before you solved
this one, was
the puzzle you solved
before you solved
this one harder than
this one?
Reasond answers would be preferable to guesses
Member.
well i kinda lost thinking at the last 2 but i'm pretty sure theres a pattern. it's probably harder.
Corran
The answer is yes, you are only talking about the one before this and this one.
yerssot
and is it correct?
GordonSkywalker
Having trouble keeping up with this but it seems fascinating.
Ushgarak
Corran is right. The riddle, translated, becomes:
"If the riddle you solved before this one was harder than this one, was the riddle you solved before this one harder than this one?"
To which the answer is obviously yes.
LaurenE147
My brain hurts.
mechmoggy
I still don't get the first one, who fancies explaining it to a stupid Brummy?
Ushgarak
"There are only three words in the English language. What is the third?"
Ignore the entirity of the rest of the riddle which is just there to put you off.
mechmoggy
Ooooh, now I get it.
LaurenE147
Ush's explanations are better than Tylenol
yerssot
genial, to the last
Ushgarak
Wow, can I cure headaches for ALL girls by explaining stuff, Lauren?
GordonSkywalker
A fascinating discovery if you can my friend! Go with the flow and see what happens.
Corran
Another Riddle:
I never was, am always to be,
No one ever saw me, nor ever will
And yet I am the confidence of all
To live and breathe on this terrestrial ball
what am I ?
Lara
the TV set? I dunno! this thread is beyond me at the moment!
yerssot
in your opinion
Corran
yes, but my opinion is correct, so guess again.
Gundark
Waste is a cracked bowl which never knows rice.
Captain REX
Anything religiously related Corran?
Lara
why am I surprised? give me a good reason as to why I SHOULDNT be surprised!
Corran
Errrmmm, no sorry can't think of one.
Lara
therefore I am not surprised.
Corran
It takes a lot to surprise you does it?
Corran
Yes I know I just did.
Corran
So have a guess at the answer. Hint: It never comes.
Lara
christmas?
Corran
Nope that comes at least once a year for most of us.
Corran
Ladies and Gentlefolk, we have a winner.
Check out the big brains on Lauren.
Lara
! funny cuase I had a rather indepth chat with a few friends on monday about the topic of tomorrow and how tomorrow becomes today.....etc.
Corran
Exactly, but it is always today, tomorrow never comes, you never say it's tomorrow. And tomorrow is what we build out hopes on
Lara
idd, it is a strange theory.
yerssot
oh, it's always tomorrow over here!
Lara
funny I though you were only one hour ahead?
yerssot
I'm ahead of most people
Corran
A new easy one.
The beginning of eternity
The end of time and space
The beginning of every end,
And the end of every place
yerssot
*waits for LaurenE*
Corran
Indeed E's are good.
yerssot
thank you WHO for the hint?
Ushgarak
I already gave the answer, Lara.
Lara
sorry for being a dumb arse and not noticing I thought it was more random crap than the answer!
Lara
oh, believe me! I am!
yerssot
I want proof of this!
Lara
I got a D in the GCSE maths exam!
yerssot
Woohoo!!!
that's good isn't it?
yerssot
then skip my last post and change it to:
DARN! well, you'll do better next time
yerssot
you will!
you're good!
GordonSkywalker
{Riddle me this: What is caught between a cat and a fish?}
GordonSkywalker
(You are on the money Lara! Go to the head of the class to recieve your prize! Tell them GS sent you!}
Lara
no really, I dont want the money, give it the the organisation called: Angles w/ Dirty Faces (its for downs syndrome kids)
queeq
Here's a riddle: why does Gordon use such strange brackets in his posts?
Ushgarak
More a puzzle than a riddle.
queeq
Or a mystery wrapped in an enigma....
yerssot
Where did Pilgrims land when they arrived in America?
Ushgarak
Maybe... America?
Ushgarak
Ok, probably North America.
yerssot
*waves hand*
This is not the answer I'm looking for
yerssot
I always accept bribes you know
Ushgarak
The shore. No point landing several miles inland.
Lara
! funny ush. but more than likely true. UNLESS they went in land up the rivers.
queeq
Plymouth Rock it was, if I recall correctly.
Lara
been brushing up on some history there queeq?
GordonSkywalker
History is good. We learn from it. Any more riddles anyone?
yerssot
it's a stupid answer, so don't go searching for places
but anyway, thanks for the historical input queeq
GordonSkywalker
{Any more riddles forthcoming or shall I break out my Happy Handbook of Riddles again......?}
yerssot
mine is still not answered
GordonSkywalker
Which one was yours?
Raz
Is this a riddle, or just a historical question?
Bespin Bart
Well, they landed in America, for one...
GordonSkywalker
If it is a riddle then the answer cannot be a straightforward one can it?
Raz
Two guesses:
a) They thought they landed in India.
b) They didn't land in America, as it didn't exist then.
GordonSkywalker
The New World?
Bespin Bart
That was it at the time.
GordonSkywalker
So what is the correct answer?
Bespin Bart
There no correct answer!
*maniacal laughter*
