The riddle thread

mapuc · 07-29-17, 12:56 PM

Been thinking on making this thread for month. I myself is very bad in solving riddles.

I have not a riddle myself that you can try to solve. I therefore hope the first person who read this has a riddle we can try to solve.

The rules are almost the same as in our other puzzle threads

1. The winner has the ball and can post a riddle. If the person doesn't have any riddle to post, he or she can let someone else do it.

2. The person who have posted the riddle can, as in who want to be a millionaire, give us 3 hints. If he or she wants to.

The riddle is : did Eichhörnchen put U up 2 this?

No, Have had this idea since Jim made his what-where who thread and after I had created my image-puzzle thread. Remember it, then I forget about it, then I remember it.

So no.

That was Tarjak's 'who what where' thread! Jimbuna effectively ended the who what where thread and your images thread with puzzles which remain unsolved??!! The riddle is: are we too stupid to solve them or...did he intend to end the threads cleverly as moderator!?

Give it to your wife as an anniversary gift!

Not the right answer...

The only solution I can come up with is this

These two dogs is a male and a female dog-you let them breed and get a puppy and when this puppy is old enough(12 weeks in Denmark and Sweden) you give that puppy to another person and you still have two dogs.

WELL ok mapuc; but only if Jimbuna gives up the answers in the two threads that have us still confounded. The rule would have to be consistent for all the 'guessing games'!

( Besides I really liked Tarjac's game the best; it had fabulous participation.)

Name one of them one, and the other both. Give away one, and you'll still have Both.

Eichhörnchen · 07-29-17, 04:53 PM

Name one of them BOTH and hand over the other one... simples. STEED gets the cigar and gets lumbered with the next riddle
