What do you mean 'nope'? I looked it up, that exactly what happened!!

Congrats on ur 1000th post too mate...

 

[DiamondzAndGunz]

The 'nope' was referring to the ruptured spleen. And no, that's not exactly the answer. And if you're gonna go looking it up, you might as well post the answer correctly .

 

[K-Man]

@D&G: on both.

That was wierd. I kept editing my last post with new answers, and meanwhile there was a new page started. Anyway, here's the lastest list I've come up with.

1) an Echo
2)H20, in its three physical states, solid, liquid, and gas.
3)The peasant picked one piece of paper, and then ripped it up, and made the king read out what he last piece said. Since the King wouldn't want to appear fraudulant, he had to let the peasant marry his daughter
4)
5)Canaries need gravty to swallow
6)The tape was already in place, and a dead man couldn't have rewound it.
7)
8)"Make" your way out of the building?
9)
10)A dream?

 

[DiamondzAndGunz]

@ K-Man: on 2 and 10, nope on 8.

8 haste

 

[DiamondzAndGunz]

Indeed! Perfection!

7 Infared radiation!

 

[DiamondzAndGunz]

@ Perfection: Methinks infrared radiation is not covered under the definition of "object." Me also thinks it would not be the first thing.

Picture the string breaking.

What the first man-made object to break the sound barrier?

A whip or more accurately the tip of the whip. When you crack a whip, the tip breaks the sound barrier.

@ Gerrard: Well, looks like I set myself up for that one. As the riddle is currently worded, that answer is correct. However, that really isn't what I was looking for. So only partial credit! Lemme re-word it.

You have an empty wine bottle with a cork secured at the top in the usual way. Inside the bottle a metal ring hangs suspended by a string. How is it possible to make the metal ring drop to the bottom of the bottle without touching the ring, the thread, the cork, or the bottle while leaving the cork in place and intact?

Well you never say the ring is attached to anything, so assuming that, you just wait the fraction of a second for the ring and string to fall.

If the string really is attached to the cork, or something like that, you can cut through the string using directed light (like a high intensity laser or a magnifying glass and the sun)

Yep.

The answer I thought of was to put a magnet under the bottle and pull the "specifically stated METAL" ring down.

Could the answer to question 9 be "light"

 

[DiamondzAndGunz]

@ Yaniv: Nah. Since it's attached to a string, you'd need a pretty big/strong magnet...
and nope, it's not light.

True it could be a number of radiations, but our bodies emit it so it's gotta be first

@ D&G: Is number 9 a blink?

 

[DiamondzAndGunz]

@ Bose: Yep.
