What is the name of the state you live in.

I would devour that sphinx, if you know what I mean

It never rains but it pours.

>>5085800
Confusion, denial, loneliness and bitterness.

I live in multiple states, can you be more specific?

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A DUCK?

Riddle me this, riddle me that
If you can't solve it
You can't fuck my twat.

>>5085852

No, I... Have no idea what the hell you're talking about, actually. Why would you consume the sphinx?

OP, two guards two doors riddle, one only tells the truth, the other tells only lies. Stick with the classics. Oi! And the sphinx riddle for Oedipus: What walks on four legs in the morning, two in the afternoon, and three at night? Or something like that, been a while since I've read it.

How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck would chuck wood?

In fact, make all of the riddles a "Bridge over the Gorge of Eternal Peril" situation, where the real answer is to find a logical question that follows from the riddle and that the one who gave the original riddle can't answer.

What is your favorite colour?

Exactly how it played out when my GM tried that.
One of his better ones was one of those "My first is in..." riddles. He timed us, and previously split us up into two. So we had each group work on the riddle seperately. Our group figured it out first and with no way to contact the others to tell them it was "boom" and the guy had hidden a bomb in there we made a break for it with enough time to spare. The others barely made it out. We had to pass a lot of notes.

Ok, let me contribute

You eat something you neither plant nor plow.
It is the son of water, but if water touches it, it dies.

A serpent swam in a silver urn. A golden bird did in its mouth abide. The serpent drank the water, this in turn Killed the serpent. Then the gold bird died.

My life can be measured in hours,
I serve by being devoured.
Thin, I am quick
Fat, I am slow
Wind is my foe.

A beggar's brother went out to sea and drowned.
But the man who drowned had no brother.
What was the relationship between the man who drowned and the beggar?

>> You eat something you neither plant nor plow.

Salt Fool

One good one I've come across is the old Oedipus riddle, but if they answer man, the Sphinx says "WRONG YOU MISOGYNIST PRICK IT'S A WOMAN"

What is the next letter in the series: "B, C, D, E, G, ..."? And Why?

A great one if it is spoken instead of written, then the players think that the word why is actually a letter.

Hohoho, Batman... Long time no see! See if you can answers this, if you have time...

Touching one, yet holding two,
it is a one link chain
binding those who keep words true,
'til death rent it in twain.

In marble halls as white as milk,
LIned with a skin as soft as silk,
Within a fountain crystal-clear,
A golden apple doth appear.
No doors there are to this stronghold,
Yet thieves break in and steal the gold.

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

And you still have the middle riddles in my first post! Good luck, caped man!

Look at

Is it P, for being the next letter to contain the long "e" sound?

Serpents a wick. Bird is fire. Water is oil. Serpent drinks water and give life to the bird.

You fucking brat! You're smart... Or know me very well!

As I was going to St. Ives,
I met a man who had seven wives.
Each wife had seven sacks,
Each sack had seven cats,
Each cat had seven kits.
Kits, cats, sacks and wives,
How many were going to St. Ives?

A man rode to town on Friday.
He stayed there all night,
and came back on the same Friday.
How can this be?

If you break me
I do not stop working,
If you touch me
I may be snared,
If you lose me
Nothing will matter.

Can you solve this, Bat?

What is the area of a triangle that has sides of 14, 11 and 25 inches long?

WHAT CAN CHANGE THE NATURE OF A MAN?

BELIEF can change the nature of a man.

My body tapers nice and neat,
With but one eye am yet complete;
You'd judge me by my equipage,
The greatest warrior of the age;

For when you have surveyed me round,
Nothing but steel is to be found;
Yet men I never was known to kill,
But ladies blood I often spill.

>>5086165
As for the first one, meeting someone doesn't mean they're heading in the same direction as you, and without assuming anything that might just as very well be false as true, you are still the only one who're heading to St Ives.

How far does the wolf run into the forest?

Something round, split in the middle
Surrounded by hair, and water comes out


What is it?

This is a good one if the answer is "a face" because everyone will think "vagina" and you can look at them like they are lunatic perverts.

Actually, it's an "eye," but you were damn close.

>>5087719
Towel and silence are the answers.

Temperature is a good answer, sun is not. Neither are the answer I was going for: stairs.

3 is not an umbrella.

3 is a coffin and 4 pallbearers.

What force and strength cannot get through, I with a gentle touch can do.
And many in the street would stand, were I not a friend at hand.
What am I?

>>5087808

Ah, a coffin. I was thrown off a bit by "Stood still."

>>5087808
the dead man does not stand. Furthermore, the coffin moves and the person within is not still.

Think of words that end in "gry." Angry is one and Hungry is another. There are three words in The English Language. What's the third word? If you paid attention, I've already told you the answer.

The man who buys me does not use me.
The man who uses me does not know me.

What lies behind the Green Glass Door?

There are thirty Romans and twenty ate horses. How many didn't, and why? ((The trick to this one is that, when spoken, it sounds like "Thirty Romans and Twenty-Eight Horses." It works better as a spoken riddle then a written one.))

What's the answer to these? Or is the one for the magic cards the actual card title?

Worthless lazy motherfuckers.

The riddle even lists Kits, Cats, Sacks and Wives in the question it asks; OBVIOUSLY everything is to be included in the total.

The answer is 2,802 (1 narrator + 1 man + 7 wives + 49 sacks + 343 cats + 2,401 kits). We can assume that the narrator, not burdened by almost 50 cats and 343 kittens (no doubt angry about being stuffed 56 to a sack) is moving rather more quickly than any one wife.

Seriously, any PC who takes the lazy-bitch way out instead of doing the mental legwork to appropriately evaluate a problem is begging for a narratively unsatisfactory death.

Christ.

>>5088094
Fairly sure it's the card title is the answer..

>>5088094
>>5088100

The answer to
>>5086095
is "wind", the other two are the cards.

>>5088094

i'm fairly sure Blistering Barrier is "Hunger" but it might be "Heat"

and the sphinx is... a "Muse"? or some kinda "thought" process if i'm on the right track.

>>5086165
>>5088095
You are either a very clever troll or complete idiot. The riddle never specifies the direction of any traveler other than that of the narrator, whom we know to be going to St. Ives. The others were met along the way but are given no direction of travel, sure they might be going to St. Ives but they just as easily might not be.

>>5088095

well actually, the answer is one. the person giving the riddle is going, all the rest are just a man talking about his harem filled with cats

>>5087981
waves?

I babble, I rush
In the rain I can crush
and everyday I am changing yet same

>>5087951
Im pretty sure that language is the third word in the phrase "The English Language."

In order for your players to open the door to [INSERT ADVENTURE], they have to make a line smaller without doing anything to it what so ever.

Filling in the plot holes is your job.

The answer is: Draw a larger line next to the small line.

>>5087951
Also more words that end in "gry"

aggry: variegated glass beads of ancient manufacture, mentioned by various 19th-century writers as having been found buried in parts of Africa.

begry: an obsolete 15th-century spelling of the word 'beggary' (i.e., extreme poverty).

conyngry: an obsolete 17th-century spelling of the even more obsolete word 'conynger' (like 'cunningaire' and 'conygarth,' a term meaning 'rabbit warren').

gry: a unit of measurement proposed by English philosopher John Locke in his 1690 "Essay Concerning Human Understanding."

higry-pigry: a corruption (along with 'hickery-pickery' and 'hicra picra') of the Greek 'hiera picra' (approximately 'sacred bitters'), a term for many medicines in the Greek pharmacopoeia, particularly a purgative drug composed of aloes and canella bark.

iggry: an early 20th century British army slang borrowing from the Arabic 'ijri, meaning 'Hurry up!"

meagry: a rare and obsolete early 17th-century variant meaning 'meager-looking.'

menagry: obsolete 18th-century alternate spelling of 'menagerie.'

nangry: a rare and obsolete 17th-century variant of 'angry.'

podagry: a 17th-century variant spelling of 'podagra,' a medical lexicon term for 'gout.'

puggry: a 19th-century alternate spelling of 'puggaree' or 'puggree,' derived from the Hindi 'pagri,' a word for a light turban or head covering worn in India.

skugry: a 16th-century variant spelling of 'scuggery,' meaning 'concealment' or 'secrecy.'

>>5087456
FUCK ME! FUCKME! FUCKKKKKKKKMEEEEEEEE GEEZE

>>5087456
Hmm Thought it was put

Fatherless and Motherless,
born without sin.
Roared when it came into the world,
And never spoke again


Either way the answer is thunder.

>>5088206
I'm afraid waves is not the answer.

Falling but never breaking, breaking but never falling, who are we?

Does it have something to do with the sun and the moon. We use the term break of dawn and the falling sun as signifiers of time.

>>5088202
I'm going to go with "both".

The solution "lol, only one!" has always bothered me for the reasons I mentioned: the last two lines ask "Kits, cats, sacks, wives: how many were going to St. Ives?" and even though the narrator is the only one we KNOW is on the way the riddle implies they all are.

If the last line were "How many, based on facts established in this riddle, can you be certain are going to St. Ives?" then absolutely, one. But it isn't.

>>5088321
Close enough. Day breaks, night falls; "we" are day and night.

Paladins in 4E

This thread reminds me why I hate riddles.

Half of them are arbitrary and the other half abuse the most convoluted language in the world in order to mislead you.

Puzzles are so much better.

>>5088341
That implication is the trick. That's the lead that causes people to produce the incorrect answer. You start throwing a bunch of numbers at someone, their first thought goes towards mathematics.

>>5088347
I knew it had to be celestially oriented.

>>5087951
I remember the Green Glass Door one from somewhere
but can't remember the answer.

>>5087951

Just kill the sphinx.

>>5088358
Nevertheless, the riddle doesn't actually TELL us 2,802 is a wrong answer.

Good riddles (most of the ones in this thread, really) only allow for one answer that lies comfortably within the established parameters.

>>5087951
>>5088406
It'd help if he put the whole riddle

Behind the Green Glass Door are kittens but not cats, puppies but not dogs, teeth but not mouths, cotton but not shirts, and glass but not frames. What's behind the Green Glass Door?

Its nouns with double letters.

>>5087456

>>5087517

>>5088427

>two guards two doors riddle, one only tells the truth, the other tells only lies.

I like this riddle, because no matter what complex bullshit the player comes up with to ration out an answer, the only correct response is, "Both of them are lying. You're fucked."

>>5088095
Sacks are not people, and ought not be counted. I know that cats, kittens, and womenz aren't people either, but sacks are inanimate objects.

>>5085910

>>5087951

Behind the green glass door there are weaboos, but not btards.

I talk, but I do not speak my mind
I hear words, but I do not listen to thoughts
When I wake, all see me
When I sleep, all hear me
Many heads are on my shoulders
Many hands are at my feet
The strongest steel cannot break my visage
But the softest whisper can destroy me

So this thread is getting some awesome riddles. Can we archive it?

>>5088558
You are standing in front of two doors that are exactly the same. One door leads to Heaven, and the other leads to Hell.In front of the two doors are two guards that are also exactly the same in every which way. You cannot touch anything. You can only stay in the same spot and direct your one question to one guard. You have to figure out which door leads to heaven, and which door leads to hell. What would you ask?

The answer: "If I ask the other guard which door leads to heaven then which door will he tell me?"

The guard for Hell always lies so he will say "the other guard (or the Heaven guard) will say that this door leads to Heaven."
The Heaven guard always tells the truth so if you ask him the same question he will say, "the other guard (or the Hell guard) will tell you this door leads to Heaven."

The hell guard is lying about the truth and the heaven guard is truthful about the lie, both incidences point you to the door of the guard you ask. Since that is obviously not the door you should take the other.

>>5088452

well that could be a lot of things... for instance.

You and two others are captured by cannibals.
The Chieftain of the tribe tells you all that he will let the smartest of you go.
You are told that you all have an equal chance of answering his question.
You are all blindfolded, and a mark is placed on your forehead.
You are told each persons mark is either black or white.
The blindfolds are removed, and you see the other two have black marks on their foreheads. After a while you know what colour the mark on your forehead is.

What colour is it and how did you know?

>>5088608

the liar still wins the battle though, because he can lie about which door the truth teller would point at. the truth teller will point to one door, and the liar will point to the other door, no matter the clever ways you try to make him tell the truth and they are still both pointing at different doors.

the is to use a question that only can have two answers. "Which one of you is on the left?"

you will clearly see which one is lying at that point. then ask the truth teller which one is the door to heaven.

>>5088629

I like this. Will think about one in my language.

>>5088608
Or you can ask what's 1+1

>>5088679
The liar can only lie. If he says the door the truth teller really would say then he's not lying. But I concede yours is a much less confusing method.

>>5088679
Lets assume liar is on left, truth teller is on right.
Safe exit is also on right

You ask the liar 'which door would the other tell me is the safe door?'. Since the truth teller would say the right door, the liar will tell you 'the left door'.
You ask the truth teller 'which door would the other tell me is the safe door?'. Since the liar would say the left door, the truth teller will tell you 'the left door'.

They both say the same door. Remember that the liar doesn't act to deceive or anything clever, he just lies 100% of the time.

Also, you only get 1 question.

>>5088678
>>5088678

Maybe it's the contrary of what ther other tells me my color is? Seems too easy...

Also archiving for our descendants

>>5088690
>>5088679
I seem to be missing something that discludes questions like that. The riddle is supposed to only be solvable with a logic tree.

>>5088717
The thing you're missing is that the the truth teller isn't necessarily in front of the door to heaven, so knowing the truth teller isn't going to tell you which is the right door.

>>5088739
That'd be it.

>>5088678
Here
>>5088712
I missed two important details, so I'll write it again

You and two others are captured by cannibals.
The Chieftain of the tribe tells you all that he will let the smartest of you go.
You are told that you all have an equal chance of answering his question.
You are all blindfolded, and a mark is placed on your forehead.
You are told each persons mark is either black or white, and if you see at least one black mark, you must raise your hand.
The blindfolds are removed, and you see the other two have black marks on their foreheads, and they both raise their hands. After a while you know what colour the mark on your forehead is.

What colour is it and how did you know?

ask the guards if they are dead?

>>5088758
It's black, like the other two.

The only way to give everyone an equal chance would be to put everyone in the same circumstance.

this one is more a spoken riddle that gets them every time
"To gain entrance; you must find the I before U"

>>5088712
>>5088679
>>5088608
Just remember she got it wrong in Labyrinth

>>5088712

kay, how bout i bring it down to complete basic :D

i am wearing a Blue shirt. i ask them both since i only have one question "Is my shirt Blue yes or no?"

so long as the truth speaker is guarding the heaven door, i will get the answer.

otherwise they are both lying and i'm fucked.

>>5088865
The truth speaker doesn't have to be guarding the door to heaven. The answer given is the only acceptable one, given the circumstances.

Just remember when it comes to riddles

The Gordian knot.

This is a door with an unpick able lock. Kick the door in
You have a boat that can fit 2 and you need to get 6 across. Swim

The best solution to riddles and problems is to bypass them entirely

>>5088890
Wholeheartedly agreed.

>>5088877

well now i'm reminded of the two cups trick from Princess Bride.

IF the truth teller was bound to know exactly the truth of the answer of what the other man would say and only speak the truth, since the lier is lying there's a funny logic i can't wrap my head around.

The Truth teller would have to say a lie in order to tell the truth because the liar will only lie and attempt to lie about which door the truth teller would pick.

both of them would reverberate at the same moment and explode.

A man died, 52 bicycles were involved. Deduce how by asking yes or no inquires to gain more info.

>>5088890
When confronted with the door guards, ask them which one is the liar.

>>5088919
But you're not asking him which door leads to heaven. You're asking him what the other guard would answer.

If he tells you what the other guard would say, he's not lying.

>>5088922
he was cheating

>>5088923
Okay, but that doesn't tell you the door. The liar doesn't have to be guarding the door to hell.

>>5088922

isnt it supposed to be 53?

>>5088890

Well, in games that's usually not the point

>>5088792

I have the feeling there's more to that but I don't have an answer

>>5088934
No
>>5088927
Explain

Four men sat down to play,
They played all night, 'til break of day.
They played for gold, and not for fun,
With separate scores for everyone.
When they came to square accounts,
They all had made quite fair amounts.
Can you the paradox explain,
If none lost, how could all gain?

Answer in the email field.

>>5088933
I mean to say " can you lie to me"

>>5088941
there are 51( excluding the joker) cards in a deck
Bicycle is the name of a playing card deck
if he had 52 that means he had an extra card thus not using a legal deck.

>>5088949
Still irrelevant. You are not looking for the liar you are looking for the gate to heaven. The only answer is "If I ask the other guard which door leads to heaven then which door will he tell me?"

>>5088961
No there are 52 cards in a legal deck
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 J Q K A= 13
x4 suits
=52
But yes he was cheating at a card game.

>>5088941
>>5088961

I say again, is it not supposed to be 53?

a legal deck has 52 cards; 13 numbers by 4 suits. unless this is some special deck for a specific game.

>>5088946
They weren't playing together.

>>5086258
Also, what was that bullshit earlier about not being able to hold you breath for ten minutes? Mr. Threepwood would like to have a word with you.

>>5088986
You can cheat without having extra card. It easy.

What we caught we threw away, what we could not catch we kept.

>>5088989

1st question: Is it impossible to determine the cause using only the initial problem statement?

>>5088949

They both say no then.

>>5088986
I thought there were two jokers?

>>5087695
>>5087951
Language?

>>5088993
Head lice

>>5087951
A coffin.

>>5089006
rules out they are not both liars and I go about my merry day

>>5089002
Nope
>>5089008
There are but that makes it 54
>>5089006
>>5089015
You can only direct your one question to one guard.

>>5089020

Or they both are liars...

>>5088965

i think i finally see the pattern now... i kept thinking the liar would be needed to say the truth which door would be picked has heavens door, not what the other guy says is the heavens door.

you... you, DOUBLE LIAR!!!!

Walk on the living, they don't even mumble.
Walk on the dead, they mutter and grumble.

>>5089038
Leaves

>>5089038
Leaves.

What can you put in a box to make it lighter?

>>5089008

jokers aren't used in normal play formats. i always assumed they were put there to protect the 52 play cards, keep the sides from being scratched and all that jazz

>>5089050
Thats actually a good guess. I know that in more modern games they serve as a wild card.

>>5089049
Anti-gravity generator. Duh.

>>5089049
Obviously a hole
>>5089067
Helium?

>>5089049
a hole :3

How is seven half of twelve?

you and your father are in a car crash, your father dies you are rushed off to the hospital. The surgeon says I can't operate on this child he is my son.

how is this possible.

>>5089084
Its your mother

>>5089084

YOU WERE ADOPTED TIMMY.

Your father is dying, he tells you, if can fill this room with one thing you shall gain my inheritance.

what do you do?

>>5089107
Fill the room with silence.

>>5089107
Start a fire.

>>5089107
Take everything out of it. It is now full of air.

>>5089120
very good.
a light would have also been acceptable.

>>5089128
But starting a fire is more fun

But there is one last lesson. A riddle is given strength because you believe it must be answered.

>>5089139

;_;

I'm really amazed by how many people can't wrap their heads around the two doors, two guards logic.

>>5088094
>>5088100
>>5088111

The Blistering Barrier card I believe has "Fire" as the only acceptable answer.

To let a fire die is easy, bu to prevent it from spreading while it is alive, therein lies the challenge.
