RIDDLE ME THIS
Posts
A forum game I'm calling "Riddle me this"
The rules are simple:
One person asks a riddles, the first person to answer it correctly gets to eitherdie in a hole Tell a riddle of their own, or pick someone else to do it. No picking someone who has already told a riddle that someone has answered correctly(This restriction expires after three riddles)
two guesses per person(Preferably in 1 post), if no one is able to guess it after 1 day, the person who told the unsolved riddle must either come up with a new one, give hints, or pick someone else for it. After 2 days, I will state "Time's up!" and add in my own riddle.
The riddle to kick this off:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What has roots deep in the earth, how deep no one knows,
that is taller than the trees, up up UP it goes,
but never grows.
(A fairly simple one)

What? Ummm..... Ohhhhhhhhhhh..... I get it...
If we're starting out with a riddle like that then I can't imagine what it will be like a few pages into this...
*sigh* I'm horrible with riddles...

The riddles don't have to scale in difficult

Correct! Come up with a riddle or let someone else add one!
Indeed, Silence.
Anonymity doesn't work, because it isn't broken if you say the name of anonymity itself (as in, 'anonymity').

What 10 letter word starts with gas?
An Automobile.
I think we've run in to a problem. Searching riddles doesn't work because the guessers can do the same. Meaning the riddles need to be original. Urgggh...
Edit: Posting Riddle...Please Wait...
You walk into a room where the doors quickly shut behind you. There is a man in the room who points to a panel behind you and tells you that the only way to escape is to correctly answer the statement as true or false.
The statement is:
There are four false statements here.
3+4=7
8x3=22
1/2 - 1/5 = 1/3
17-9=5
11x7=77
There are 2 buttons labeled as True and False on the panel. What do you push?

I was hoping people would try and come up with their own, or at least use one that is obscure.
Anyways,

False, there is less than 4 false statements.
Since this is a riddle I'm probably missing something vital in that but... I'll answer the obvious answer. I push the False button!
Edit: Rar, don't beat me to it!
Edit: Rar, don't beat me to it!
Oh, I get, I get it! I should push the True button, because the statement "there are four false statements here" IS a false statement! But wait, if that statement IS false then wouldn't that mean that they cancel out or... *mutter* *mutter*
Now I'm confused...
Now I'm confused...
Exactly! The answer is to push both buttons at the same time. Notice that I asked what do you push instead of true or false.

YAY! I got it right! (kind of...)
Welp, doesn't that mean it's my turn to do a riddle? Um... Um... Ummmmmmmm...
Someone else can go if they want. If no one has done another riddle by tomorrow morning, I'll post one.
