It's definitely been 24 hours so SOMEONE just give the answer, please. And then someone can post another riddle.

Ok guys, this is kinda stupid, but it's the answer.

The guy was caught cheating at cards. The bicycles aren't bikes, they're bicycle cards. there are 53 instead of 52...get it?

Oh boy, that's really stupid ... but kinda cool as well.

yup, it's a stupid riddle, but no one seems to be able to figure it out.

I have another one. Ok, there's three lightswitches next to a closet. You have to figure out wich light switch turns on the light in the closet, but you can't flick on any of the light switches while the closet door open, or have any of the light switched switched to 'on' when you open the door. There is no crack where light can get out. Only one of the light switches works, the other two don't work at all. This had nothing to do with wiring. So how do you figure out which light switch turns on the light in the closet?

hmmmm, don't know, time for dumb guesses

*Turn one on, then wait for the rustling of moths

*It's not a walk-in closet so it doesn't have a light

Turn one on for a few minutes, then turn it off, go in, and feel the lightbulb. If it's warm, you found it. If not, repeat the process until you find it.

I've heard similar riddles before.

That's really kind of a pointless lightswitch then. If you can't have it on while you open the door or while the door is open how are you supposed to go in there and have the light on?

But, anyway. About the riddle - I think niteowl is right.

Yeah, I agree too...but why can't the person go in again?...

Tae got it. But there's another answer that's pretty obvious. Have someone go in the closet, and tell you when the light goes on.

This is one of my favorite...

I saw a strange creature,
a bright ship of the air beautifully adorned,
bearing away plunder between her horns,
fetching it home from a foray.
She was minded to build a bower in her stronghold,
and construct it with cunning if she could do so.
But then a mighty creature appeared over the mountain
whose face is familiar to all dwellers on earth;
he seized on his treasure and sent home the wanderer
much against her will; she went westward
harbouring hostility, hastening forth.
Dust lifted to heaven; dew fell on the earth,
night fled hence; and no man knew
thereafter, where that strange creature went.
What are these two creatures?

Um.. The sun and the moon? I have no idea.

I agree with Crysi.

A cookie for Crysi!

Anybody have the next riddle?

I do!


What is long and slim, works in light; has but one eye, and an awful bite?

Its pretty easy...for...some people...

Long and slim makes me think of a pencil. The one eye would be the led. You can write well only in light, unless you have good nightvision. And, it's point can hurt. So, I guess pencil.
