Great. Why don't you go ahead and ask another one. I do not know of too many good riddles.

 

[Pirate]

Ok, great! Got this one from my brother:

A shadowy fortune teller to shake up your world.
A pyramid in a pool of black.
Less than ten, but sideways infinite.
A pyramid in a black of pool.

 

[betazed]

A magic eight ball?

It has all the above properties except the sideways infinite part that I could not associate.

 

[Pirate]

You got it. Turn the number "8" sideways and you get the sign for infinity.

 

[boobah]

ok as no-one is making another riddle i will take the liberty of doing it myself
A snail is at the bottom of a 15 meter tree. He tries to reach the top. Each day, he manages to climb 4 meters, but during night, while he sleeps, he slips back 3 meters. How many days will he need to reach the top?

 

[Darth_Pugwash]

Sounds like maths to me.

The answer is 15 days.

 

[boobah]

nope

 

[Darth_Pugwash]

1 metre a day. 15 days. How is that wrong?

 

[hawai_74]

12 days

 

[boobah]

well, Well, after 15 days, he will have climbed 15 meters, so on day 16, he will reach the top.

 

[Darth_Pugwash]

Ah, I think I get why I'm wrong. Its something about day and night, isn't it?

 

[boobah]

no wait i said that wrong Well, after 11 days, he will have climbed 11 meters, so on day 12, he will reach the top.
