Riddles...

Yup, me gots a riddle for ya:

"Think of words ending in -GRY. Angry and hungry are two of them. There are only three words in the English language. What is the third word? The word is something that everyone uses every day. If you have listened carefully, I have already told you what it is."

 

only?

I know kind of what you're getting at, but I'm not sure I'm picking from the right bit, so it could be wrong.

 

That's from Planescape: Torment! SO BUSTED!

 

language


I noticed that Gambit's cat riddle is still unaanswered.

 

'Cept, i never played PS:T... I intend to, but i never have. And as far as i know, this riddle has been told for many years, even before PS:T.

Anyway, Dragoon's right, language is the answer.

A guy in a cat costume :razz:

 

Ok this is a crazy idea but perhaps it's bed. Riddle says head like a cat and feet like a cat - it doesn't mean they have to look like those of a cat. It's just as if you said head like a human. There is head of a bed and feet of a bed (I think one of the prowler master notes in Arcanum was under bed foot). I hope Gambit looks at this thread from time to time.

 

It's Ferret

 

Well, being the impatient bastard i am, (and unable to figure this one out :x ), i looked up the answer on a website about riddles. Can't believe i didn't think of it :roll:

Anyway, none of you are right. Keep trying.

 

A cat picture, statue or image on the mirror. A bag with cat pieces.
Why does the “guy in a costume� fail to answer the riddle?

 

Cat feet? Cat head?

A Sphinx?
A tiger? (or any other feline)
A kitten?


Can I play?

"Push me in, pull me out.
I have one eye, but I can not see.
I pull on a rope, yet I have not hands.
What am I?"

 

A needle?

 

Please tell me it is a needle. There's only one other answer I can think of for a one eyed thing that gets pushed in and pulled out.

 

Yes, a needle.


Sheriff:
Uhm... your other "solution" ... does it pull a thread too?
Mighty strange I would say ...

 

Have you ever heard of piercing?

 

It's so hurtful when people call it a needle.

 

Could you give a hint as to whether it is a living thing or an object? Unless someone alredy got the right answer. Dennis' mirror image idea sounds convincing.

 

Is it a successful cat hunter?

 

It's not a very good riddle actually, it's so simple and non-specific that there's multiple answers for it. The appropriate answer for it would be a kitten. So whoever said kitten can be very proud :wink:


I have another one, not hard though:

Bob's mom had four children, two daughters and two sons. The youngest daughter's name was Penny, the oldest, Jenny. The youngest son bore the name of Kenny. What is the name of the oldest son?

 

Uhm... I don't know ...
BOB?
