The Offical Riddle Thread

[.: AlphA :.]

Well, since there's a joke thread, i'm gna make a riddle thread.

lets make it a rule that we don't post the answers to the riddles straight away; but if no-one gets it correct by 3 days after posting the riddle, then we reveal.

lets start with some new ones:

1. If you break me, I'l not stop working. If you touch me, my work is done. If you lose me, you'll find me with a ring soon after. What am i?

2. This is as light as a feather, yet no man (or woman) can hold it for so long. What is it?

3. (old one) What can run but never walk, has a mouth but never talks, has a bed but never sleeps, has a head but never weeps?

now for some UBER ones ;D

4. Cannot be seen, cannot be felt, cannot be heard, cannot be smelt. It lies between the stars and between the hilss. Ends life and kills laughter. What is it?

5. What has eyes but cannot see? (four answers)

6. We are very little creatures, all of us with different features. One of us in glass is set, one of us you'll find in jet. Another you may see in tin, a fourth is boxed within. If the the fifth you should pursue, it can never fly from you. What are we?

GOOD LUCK

wow cindy, you're good

u got questions 1,2,3 and 6 rite

for Q.4 "time" doesn't really fit the 2nd sentence of the riddle though

and there's three more answers to 5

Mushipower, (who is that anyway)
Is the answer platelets? It sounds very geeky/nerdy/sciency, but the truth is in your blood, platelets are the ones that clot if you cut yourself - "first they champ, then they stamp, then they stand still"? And what's with the hill?
A blind dude has eyes and can't see, so do potatoes. Barbie dolls do (or did till I put them in the microwave). And a needle has one eye. So two needles?
Is 4 darkness?

[mushipower]

^ so I take it you haven't read The Hobbit?
I don't care if you haven't because you've read H2G2 ^^ *HIGH FIVE*
Anyway...
the answer is just a simple one word answer...what do we have APPROXIMATELY 30 of? (I know most people won't have 30 but the original riddle says 30 so I'm not changing it)

[shindigbuster]

4 is silence

You would spell me by starting with Z. I am a question or statement so framed as to exercise one's ingenuity in answering it or discovering its meaning.
