Title: Riddle of the Day: Flowers
Post by: Shin on June 17, 2010, 11:01:16 AM
Inscribe an M above a line, then write an E below.
  The flower you seek is hung so fine, it sways when breezes blow.

What is the answer to this riddle?

anemone, the windflower.

This can be a toughie unless you know your flower species! Or, perhaps, if you know a little about undersea life! That's the end of my hints!  :D

Ooo, you took the hint the wrong way. :) I wonder if it will mislead others too? Not quite, no!

As always, if you give in, there it is, in invisible ink!

Shin, after this one, (and I know I'll lose and surrender soon  :biggrin:), I'm going to find a real difficult riddle for you.

Heheheheh! You do that!

And I'll hold out and not give in quickly like I usually do!  O:)

Well I didn't get it!

Here's another hint! Think about what it describes, visually, then describe that with words!

Patricia, I peaked - I knew I'd never get it. Then after I peaked I felt so dumb for not thinking of it before I looked. I still don't see how the riddle fits it though, but the clue should have told me. :-[ Just think of Jacque Cousteau's underwater movies.

I'll be nice to you Brigid. ;D  I won't post the answer in invisible ink. I'll post it only when you surrender. ;)  It'll save you the temptation of peeking.

Find out what the animals are! (for example, "To run away or escape" could be a "flea")

1. hair-control foam
2. very exposed
3. tellin' falsities
4. a lamenting cry
5. a dull person
6. a precious or loved one
7. first you get a parking ticket, then you get this
8. these make up a chain

1. moose
2. bear
3. lion

Why don't you see penguins in Britain?

Because they're afraid of Wales

How can you tell an Irishman is having a good time?

He's Dublin over with laughter


Title: Re: Riddle of the Day: Flowers
Post by: Brigid on June 21, 2010, 05:49:18 PM
1. the penguins don't have a top hat to go with their tux

2. They have a drink in their hand or are fighting. (How about a barroom brawl?) ;D

Imaginative answers, Brigid. But I think you must take a peek. ;D

Oops. Oh well. :shrug: Better luck next time. :irishwisdom:

These were some great riddles. :D

Even when I knew the answer, sometimes I forget, and have to start over again. :D

Here's a new one..


A vital body part am I
Without my first
I fall from the sky
Remove two more
And without a doubt
You will never find me out

Odhiambo you put far too much effort into solving Shin's riddles. I just wait for him to drop a few clues. He always does eventually haha.   ;D
