I am bored as hell, so I decided to start a Riddles topic.
Basically it goes like this: You do not post in this thread unless your answering a riddle. If you answer one right, you get to make one. So the basic setup is this:
"Vash: Blah blah <riddle>"
"Person: <Answer to riddle>"
"Vash: Right :biggrin: "
"Person: <Their own riddle>"
And so on :biggrin: (You may post here if you have a question about a riddle though. No google cheatahs :biggrin: ). If they post wrong, post "In-correct". Please, no editing old posts, and everybody only gets one post on each riddle.
First riddle:
[EDIT]
Ok, I screwed up this riddle. The riddle I wrote was, "I am a chair for a Amphibian" when It should be, "I am a chair for an Amphibian."(It was Toad-Stool btw :smile: ). I will ask another riddle, all who asked may try this one.
"A man walks down the street and sees 2 birds. One walks left and one walks right, but never separate. How is this possible?"

The man walks one way the birds walk the other.
OR
One woman was facing left and one was facing right. When the one facing right turned left and the one facing left turned right they were walking in the same direction.
Am I answering this right or is it one of those mini word ones?

Incorrect isn't a hyphenated word. That's like the nuts that say to-day and to-morrow.

i like solving riddles as much as solving trivia.. but really don't like asking them, my hopes in the trivia thread were to get others to post so i could participate..
allow crono my point, as he said he answered correctly first.
i would rather play. :smile:

Since Orph didn't give one, I'll give the next.
" A man is condemned to death. He is given to say a last statement; if it is true he is hanged to death and if it is false he is poisoned. He uttered his last sentence from which he escaped. What is the last statement"
Should be pretty familiar to most people.

two brothers both born twins and princes of their kingdom, the time draws near for one of them to be crowned the next king, the king decides both are equally qualified to rule, and cannot pick between them, so he sets them a task, a horse race.
the rules are simple, the loser of the race, inherits the crown and the kingdom.
the boys realize that this task could run into years, so the seek out the advice of the kingdoms wisest scholar, upon reflecting on the issue for a while the wise man solves the problem, he tells the twins only two words, what are they???

Is the prisoner one that he said "I will be poisoned" - it's a statement (not a question or plea), and it's not false or true.

"Swap horses". That way, the owner of the losing horse just has to make sure that his opponent's horse wins - by winning, riding the opponent's horse.

Mark and Lawrence live in Queens, NY, and meet at a bus stop at 10 am every day.
On a monday Mark has $2 and Lawrence has $5 when they meet. How much money does Mark and Lawrence have at 10:30 am? (combined total).

$7 seems a little simple so I'll assume they get mugged or something.

Correct, I would have also accepted "Zero, because Pablo beats the s**t out of them at 10:15" or "Zero, because the bus driver beats the s**t out of them at 10:15" lol.
