The Riddle Quiz

[KaNick]

That's a good one, I think I know the answer but have to wait because I asked the last one.

Edit: Sourboy, I am going to pm to you my answer.

 

[sourboy]

nope, not coal.

Give about 10 minutes then answer Link.

 

[polymath]

candle?

 

[sourboy]

Nick from Omaha (somewhere in middle America...) pmed the right answer. I should take off here, so if no one minds, he can confirm the correct answer when someone solves it or post a new riddle himself - cool?

 

[sourboy]

...and just as I write that, yes, polymath is right - it's a candle.

 

[KaNick]

Well, polymath got it.

Edit: boobah, chech your PMs.

 

[boobah]

hey nick how do i get a picture on my thing?

 

[Iggy]

boobah. I recommend you have a look at the forum rules and have a look at the f.a.q. pages, you will also find details of how to change your image. You may not realise it but you are sailing a little close to the wind with some of your threads and posts. Just trying to be helpful.

 

[polymath]

What has eyes but can't see.

 

[Iggy]

black eyed peas

 

[polymath]

Actually I'll give you that - I was looking for potatoes but I guess you're right

Your go.

 

[Iggy]

Thanks Polymath. Ok heres one:

Of no use to one
Yet absolute bliss to two.
The small boy gets it for nothing.
The young man has to lie for it.
The old man has to buy it.
The baby's right,
The lover's privilege,
The hypocrite's mask.
To the young girl, faith;
To the married woman, hope;
To the old maid, charity.

What am I?

luuurve

 

[Iggy]

yeah baby. Well the answer was a "Kiss", however I think you hit the proverbial nail near as damn it on the head.
Doc, all yours.

 

[Dr Jimbo]

OK, I cheated and got this from somewhere. The answer is out there...

The beginning of eternity
The end of time and space
The beginning of every end,
And the end of every place.

Who am I?

 

[Iggy]

Hey Doc, you cheated from the same place I did. Thats just not cricket!

 

[KaNick]

That was a tricky one, but I think I got it. I have seen riddles like this before so it was somewhat easy for me: The letter E.

 

[Dr Jimbo]

All yours GMN. Now you have the dubious pleasure of having to come up with one.

 

[KaNick]

Don't worry, I already had this one set up long ago:

I'm sometimes strong and sometimes weak, but I am nobody's fool. For there is no language that I cannot speak, though I never went to school. What am I?

Good luck.
