A New Challenge for Pirates Online Forums!!!!
 

I've been thinking on an event we could on here, mates. The answer is..... RIDDLES!!!! :psmiley27: For this particular season, I've thought of a good riddle. If ye can answer it, you will get to choose another riddle for us to solve. Think yer up to it, mates? Let's get started, then!!

First riddle is as follows:

"Out of the eater, something to eat; out of the strong, something sweet."

Again, if ye can solve this, give yer answer on here and if yer right, ye can say one of yer own for us to solve. Enjoy mates!!!!

This is biblical. The answer is a bee and a flower. But I don't wanna say a new one. Haha

I love riddles, however shouldn't this thread be in activities rather than The Halls of the Great BBK?

Maybe he meant a new challenge for BBK members, not POF. /Shrug

Haha maybe not, TSC

Lol, this actually is for anyone. And yes, Hookshot, it is biblical, but its not the right answers. Lol at any rate, someone else has to do a riddle now. Only thing is..... I didn't no where to put this at so..... guess this will have to do for now. :P

The eater/strong is a lion and the sweet/something to eat, is honey.

Quite amazing there mate. That's it exactly. Congrats!!! You know your bible well, mate. Keep up the good work. So.... anyone have a good riddle to rival mine?

To move this ask a Mod to do it for you.

I have one:
In the morning I have four legs,
In the afternoon I have two,
and in the evening I have six.
What am I and why.

Ive heard this before and you messed up on the evening
Morning: baby on all fours
afternoon: a person in the middle of their life
evening: its 3 legs, a man with a cane

I haz one!

There is an elderly man, and he has two sons. The elderly man is very rich, but close to death. He has to pass on his inheritance to one of his sons, and he wants them to have a contest to see who gets it. He says to them, "You will have a race. The person who's horse finishes in last place gets my inheritance."

After a few weeks, the old man passes away, and the two sons take their horses and run as far away from the finish line as possible. After a while though, they realize that this really won't do anything, so they go seek the help of a wise man. The wise man tells them something, and they go racing back to the finish line.

What did the wise man tell them? This one is challenging, and you must pay attention to some of the details.

The wise man probably told them to push each others horses across the finish line.

I am not a pet that isn't alive, but I can move. What am I?

Also, Davy- did the man die at the finish line making the line the "last place?"

The wise man told them that it's the horse that finishes last-not the son?

That be part of it, but not the whole thing. You're getting there. Think, what would the sons have to do to get their horse to finish in last place?

How about "Hold Their Horses"? LOLZ

I believe that each son rode the other's horse. Thus, whoever reached there first with the other horse, won.

Correct?

You will never know until Davy gets back from vacations!!

We have a winner!

I have one: Two fathers and two sons went to a resturaunt. They all ordered a hamburger.
There are three hamburgers ordered in all. How is this possible?

One of the two fathers is also a son. However, I believe both fathers would have to be sons at one point, but only one of them is still a son if you know what I mean. Therefore, three people in all went to the resturaunt: One father, one son, and one that's both.

Correct?

Lol, have to admit mates, this certainly turned out to be a good idea. At any rate, these riddles probably should give you something to think about in your spare time. So, enjoy them as ye keep coming up with them.

- I can point fingers and name names. - Jack Sparrow

I eat humans yet I am completely harmless, I can eat the toughest meat and yet I have no teeth. What am I?

My cannibal grandpa who uses fake teeth 0_0

ROFL:laughks2: close but not quite.

Close. Name what they all are.

OOooH! Mosquito!

Mosquitoes have teeth.

Hungry?
???

That isn't fair for those who aren't Christian mate.

-_- No like where they are in the family.

One's a son that's not also a father, the other's the father of that son, and the other one is the father of the first son's father. i.e. his grandfather.

Ok, since Skip was right I will explain: Son, father, grandfather. Yer turn Skype!

Alright, here's my best shot.

A man walks into a store and buys a shovel for the price of 15$ when it's usually priced at 30$. The man behind him sees the other man walk off with the underpriced shovel, and he knows a good deal when he sees one, so he decides to buy a cheap shovel as well. But unfortunately for him, the cashier says that the shovel can only be purchased at 15$ with a purchase of 40$. However, the man has only 30$ with him, so it doesn't seem possible for him to buy the shovel for 15$. But soon the man has an idea that gets through the problem, and before you know it, he walks out of the store, shovel in hand.
Also, he bought the shovel for 15$ not 30$.

How did he do this? The solution probably won't work in real life, but it's good to ponder.

Of course... He STEALS the shovel, because he is a pirate!

Nobody has guessed mine! (Haha!!)

He buys 3 shovels.:pirate.capta:

No, he only bought 1 shovel, and for the price of 15$.

Credit Cards? 0_o

That's one solution, but not the one I'm thinking of.

Think about the math. It might not make sense, but I'm sure you can figure it out.

IDK The message you have entered is too short. Bah Humbug

He purchased two twenty dollar bills. See? He purchased $40, and now he can use what he has left for the shovel!

Seriously, nobody had guessed mine?

Yes, seriously

Decomposition?

VERY VERY close!

Ok then... time.

The horses name was friday!!! Lol just throwing that one out there, but my answer to Mr. Awesome is a maggot. My answer to skiperdoo is he just made a purchase at another store for $40 and gets the shovel for $15.

We have a winner!!!!!! Way to go Swash! You figured out what nobody else could.

And props to Skip for giving an awesome answer with time.

Here's a good one:

A person is walking along a path. At the end of the path, it splits up into two different ways. One way is to an evil forest that guarantees death, and one way is to a town. Nearby, are two houses, inhabited by twin brothers. One brother only tells the truth, the other only tells lies. He can only ask ONE question to determine which way is to the town. What does he ask, and why.

He asks "What will your brother say if I asked him about which path I should take?".

Naturally, the brother that always lies will lie about his brother telling the truth, and will tell him to go to the path of certain death.

On the other hand, if he asks his other brother, the one whom always tells the truth; he will say tell the truth about his brother lying, and he'll tell you what his brother would say.

In the end, it's best to go to the path which they do NOT tell you to go to, since a positive + a negative equals negative gain.

Hope I'm right :D

Yes, you got it. Nice job. :D

Whats Black and White and read all over?

A book!!!!

The newspaper?

An EITC zerba after i was through with it...?

A book about the news!

This riddle is HARD
If I say "Everything I tell you is a lie," am I telling you the truth or a lie?

Well obviously you're telling us "Everything I tell you is a lie." Which is niether truth nor lie but a statement of terms.

What im asking you is if everything I tell you a lie or the truth
If everything I tell you is a lie is what I just said a lie? That everything I tell you is a lie?

No, you tell the truth about lying, telling a lie about telling the truth. This means that you're telling either both, or none.

This in turn eventually leads to a continuos spiral of paradoxes which I'm sure YOU don't even know the answer to.

However, if you want my answer, I'd have to say you're lying. After all, you sometimes tell the truth, although even that may be a lie.

You got it correct, the statement itself is a lie if everything I tell you is a lie

He finds a 50 dollar bill on the ground?:laughks2::12_1_138:

Here's one that will blow your mind.
I place $20 in a box, so do you.
There is $40 in the box now.
I then sell the box to you for $30.

Who walks away with what?

You walk away 50 dollars richer because you sold only the box and not the money inside.

Here's a classic one. I hope you guys know the answer to this one.

You are a traveler, traveling down a road, simply trying to get from point A to point B. Eventually, you come to a fork in the road, and you don't know which way to go. You do know; however, that one of these roads will lead you to your destination, the other to certain death. You notice that there are two villages near by as well. You remember that one of these villages has people that will always tell the truth, and in the other everyone lies, but you don't know which is which. And asking them will do you no good, after all. The truthful one will tell you they are the truthful ones (since they always tell the truth), but the lying ones will say that they are truthful too (since they would lie about themselves being liars.).

What can you say to either tribe that will get them to tell you which is the correct way to go?

Hey Davy, I already got one similar to that.

You ask each village "What would the people in the other village say if I asked them?". Naturally, the village that always tells the truth will tell the truth about the village that lies, therefore telling you to go to the path of death. However, if you ask the village with people that always lie, you'll get the same answer, telling a lie about the other villagers telling the truth. (I.E. lying)

In the end, you should follow the path they don't tell you what the other village would say.

I have one that I made up the other day.

Jimmy and Darren were bored one day, so they decided to play hide and seek. Jimmy agreed to count while Darren went and hid. Darren looked for a hiding place while Jimmy closed his eyes and started counting. Then they both died. What happened?

Excuse me if this is too easy.

Chuck Norris happened.

Davy... Chuck Norris did not happen...

Can anyone else figure it out?

they played hide and seek and died obviously

or they played hide and seek and then died years later

If you made it up then only you know the possible answer.

I'm sure this sort of thing has been done before. - sigh - I'll tell you the answer if you like...

Please! No one will ever guess any rational answer anyhow.

I'm not that insane. The answer is that Jimmy was driving, and Darren was the passenger. It wasn't that crazy, it just featured a couple of idiots.

moving on

based on the fallowing statement is santa clause real. if santa clause is real this statement is false.

I don't understand that...

Here's a fantastic one.

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.

the answer is what also language

Aww... you're correct... that's disappointing... I thought it was genius...

there is a cabin in the woods full of dead people all the trees around the cabin have burned down but the cabin has not. What happened?

All the trees around the cabin have burned down but the cabin has not.

The fire started inside the cabin, which is made of an un-burnable material. I think that's part of it.

both are not the correct answer
need a hint

Yes please. This is a toughie. :)

the cabin hasn't been there for long

OH! The cabin was built AFTER the fire! :D

no the cabin was built before the fire

ps how to i prevent people who don't want a hint from seeing said hint whale people who want the hint could easily see it
pss want another hint

Took me a while, but I got it eventually - the cabin is the cabin of a plane, and the plane crashed ;)

yes del your completely right

Wow... well done Del. My brain isn't working today.

Gracias :buds:

The distance between Rumrunner's and Tortuga is roughly 25 miles. A pirate can swim at a rate of 3 miles per hour. If I wanted to swim from one island to another, how long would it take?

8 hours and twenty minutes provided the pirate can make it the without dieing of exosten or buy someone elses hand.
or about 5 seconds if (s)he teleports

Incorrect, both of you :p

4:10 your twice as fast as the average pirate (he says sucking up to del)

am i on the right track

else not enough information

Second part is correct - I never said between which two islands I was swimming, aye? :laughks2:

so i got it right!!?

Here's hopefully a bugger.

Mike was investigating a murder scene with his two policemen. The suspects are Trish [her sister]. Dave [her friend] and Jordan [her dad]. Then Mike found a note with numbers and letters. It looks like this: t1 pip 515
After that Mike arrested the killer. Who did it?
