You are riding on a beautiful white horse. 

On  your right side is a drop off.   

On your left side are several ostriches being chased by a lion.     

In front of you are four large gazelles that  won't get out of your way and you can't seem to overtake them. 

Behind you is a stampede of horses. 

What must you do to get out of this highly dangerous situation?


Get off the merry-go-round!


Answer in invisible ink above!  :D

Well, if you can't overtake the gazelles - why not just go forward? ???

Well it seems as if the gazelles are going forwards too at the same speed.  :D

 :-[ I think this must to relate to the "Stop by for Coffee" thread.

Yes indeedy!

It's not a clear puzzle, it's more of a joke puzzle. :) Can send your thoughts going around in a circle!

Perhaps some of our newer members might appreciate this joke puzzle/riddle. :D

I'm just not getting this.   :-[ 
Pray? 
Wake up from  your dream? 
Your horse is Pegasus so you fly away? 

You're not too far off!

A lot of people go around in circles with this one! :D

It's best I think to just look at the answer by highlighting it with the mouse! :D

I took that advice when I was getting nowhere :)

It's more of a joke than a solvable riddle I am thinking!  :D

Odhiambo, I took that advice even before thinking about it. Invisible ink is too much of a temptation for me!  ;D

Here's a simple word riddle/puzzle:

What liquor twice reversed will show a sign of discontent?

...

No invisible ink this time! :o  ;D

Good morning Patricia!  :D

Show some mercy , Shin! :D
Now I have to put my thinking cap on. 8)

I don't know the names of liquors. So I demand a hint for the sake of fairness  :sickie:

This sort of liquor is a famous favorite of sailors.  ;D

    :rotfl: :rotflblue: :happyroll:  Laughed out loud!!

I have the answer. But had to cheat a bit because I didn't know what sailors drink. So I'm not sure I will be awarded the grand prize.  It was partial cheating, I think.

Haha! I'm glad you liked it!

 :happyroll:

Patricia! Even when I do away with the invisible ink!

What am I going to have to do to cover up the riddles?  :rotfl:  :rotflblue:

  I got it.  I'm about to make a reversed mur cake for new years!   ;D

Now that's a rare cake to bake I think susanna! Good show! :D

Okay, I will make up a riddle, that way there's no way to find the answer. . .

The first has a letter that is in burnt bread. . .
The second has a letter that is in a word, opposite of hard. . .
The last is the first of all.

What am I?

 :D

 ;D ;D

Gulp :boggles:  See you tomorrow , my friends! :happywave:

Take care Patricia! Have a good day! :D

Clever Shin.  I'm guessing tot.   :D

Oh not bad, very Christmasy!

But not it! Although it nearly fits so nicely!

 :teaandcoffee:

This will take some thinking time. 
 ;D Oops, time for the angelus!  God bless you.   :D

And you too I pray!  :crucifix:

How about a "top" ?
Oops, never mind...lol

Is the last letter A since that's the first letter of alphabet? 

"Tea" ?!

Yeah, I have it! I have it!  :happyroll:

"Fifteen men on the dead man's chest-- ...Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of ......." :happyroll:
The missing word is it; just fill in the blank :)

James and Odhiambo, you have it!  :rejoice:

Correct answers!  :D Congrats!

 :tinyangel:

Yay ! I win a trip to Hawaii ! Yay !!!!

lol- I can't believe I figured that one out -lol   ::)

  I'm giving up.   

The first word is 'toast'.
The second word is 'easy'.
The third is the letter 'a'.

The you read from the top down the first letters. :D

Here's another one. . .

Another letters puzzle. . .

What three letters would frighten a thief?

 :D

Haha! Good one George! :D

DOG?  :shrug:

:fishie: :fishie: :fishie: ( trained attack fish )- lol !  ;D

Haha! Good one too James!

And good fish!

 ;D

 :fishie: :fishie: :fishie:

I have made up this puzzle so the answer I have in mind may not be the only possible one, but it is the best I can think of. Here we go:

"Help! Help! What do I do? Oh, what do I do!"
For some unexplained reason, you are ashore within earshot of  a man swimming for dear life in croc infested waters!
 Suddenly, just as it looked as if maybe, just maybe, he had escaped the man eaters; there! directly in front of him, there was one just waiting to take a bite out of the poor man!
With a squeak of terror and a fresh rush of adrenaline, he turned quickly to his right. “Please! Oh please!” you hear his pleas.  “Oooh the paaiin!  My left arm ! Oooh the bloood!” the man was now wailing shrilly.
“What do I do? Oh, what do I do? Help, someone, anyone, please! please!”
God has willed that you save this man's life so his life is now completely in your hands.
What is your instructions to this hapless man? Time is of the essence.
 
Answer:
Push your thumb into its eyeball. It will let go instantly!

Yes, I agree,  a bit on the silly side  ;D

 :happyroll:

Oh dear, I'm afraid the invisible ink was too much temptation for me.  :o

What kind of bad example am I now?  :P

 :happyroll: :happyroll: :happyroll:

I won't succumb like Shin. ;D  But I don't get the solution. ???  Throw someone else in to the sharks and pull the man out? ;D

I saw the invisible ink. It's all Shins fault. - Haaahahahaha !!!

Not bad Odhiambo. Try coming up with another one .  :)

I refuse to back down and look at the invisible ink so I'll just give my instinctual answer - "Pray"!


Oh, now since I answered already I looked and I never would have thought of that.

Ok since everyone knows the answer can I peek now, Odhiambo?

 ;D Hehehehe  ;)

Throw in the towel Patricia, the cat is out of the bag  ;D

Not bad Brigid, not bad at all! Who can fault that one. If it was an examination, I would definately have given you pass marks  :thumbsup:

Go ahead Patricia and take a peek  ;D

Who would have thought of that survival tip? :D

Try answering this.

A boy was at a carnival and went to a booth where a man said to the boy, "If I write your exact weight on this piece of paper then you have to give me $50, but if I cannot, I will pay you $50." The boy looked around and saw no scale so he agrees, thinking no matter what the man writes he'll just say he weighs more or less. In the end the boy ended up paying the man $50. How did the man win the bet?

The man did exactly as he said he would and wrote "your exact weight" on the paper.

Hmm , the man wrote "Your Weight" on the paper ?! ;D


:littlepigeons:

Yeah, the man wrote, "your exact weight" on the paper.

Very ingenious. The man must have gone home with a pocket full of $ 50 bills on that day  ;D

Makes want to go join a carnival ! - lol  ::)


:littlepigeons:

Hi James  :happywave:

Easy money; it is almost cheating, or is it in fact  cheating? what do you think?

Hi Odhiambo,  :D
Well, let's see, cheating, hmm, no, I think it's more in the lines of deception ?  ;)
:teapot:


:littlepigeons:

You are right James, it is deception.

These riddles are too easy for you intelligent folk. :D

Let's try a couple more. Very simple.

This is as light as a feather,
Yet no man can hold it for long.
What is it?

No sooner spoken than broken. What is it?

Hmm, I think I know the first one but I'm back and forth on the second. :D

Hmm!

Ok , I believe the first one is "your breath". :-X
And the second is "silence" ? ???



:littlepigeons:

I think you've got it James! And the birdies! :D

 :rejoice:

Bawk bawk !! Chirp !


:littlepigeons:

Yes, silence seems the perfect answer. I was thinking of "the word of a liar"  ;D
Your breath is definitely as light as a feather, hold it for three minutes and you are just about done!
Congrats James. That was good thinking!

Exceptional, James OP!!  You solved the riddles without invisible ink, a feat by itself!!!  :harp: :thumbsup: I am inspired. :D

Ok, What about this one:

It is greater than God and more evil than the devil.
The poor have it, the rich need it and if you eat it you'll die.
 What is it?

Since I know the answer to this one, I'll let someone else have a crack at it. I'm writing the answer in invisible ink.  :rejoice:
The answer is:         !  :thumbsup:

:teapot: ah, a morning cup, aaaahhhh.....
 :littlepigeons:

Hahahaha, I know the answer too, and James, you're a card!

 :rotflblue:

See, I read your mind Shin. We both knew. Must be something in the tea. :teaandcoffee:

I am impressed you two  :thumbsup:
It took me a while before it dawned  ;D
James, I love the clue within the clue of  the invisible ink.  :)

Haha ! I just realized the clue within the clue !  :D. Thanks for pointing that out ! - lol !!! :teapot:

I'm embarrassed to say I don't have an answer. What could be greater than God? :-[  You guys!  I won't cheat with invisible ink. It seems  wrong since I don't know the answer.

I did not give the answer in invisible ink Brigid, James gave a clue. That is just it, what can be greater than God Almighty. There can only be one answer to that and it is the right one. Good luck! ;D

Even I can't get past 'What is greater than God?'. Nothing is greater than G0d! What can be more evil than the devil? :brickwall:

I love the brick wall Patricia, but you actually have the answer in your comment :)
Zero in on it.You will feel happier if you work out the answer for yourself. Scrutinize each and every word you posted above. The answer lies somewhere there.  ;D

 Patricia, you answered the riddle !  ;) ....yay !!!

NOTHING!! ;D

YEEEESSSSS !!!  :teapot: :harp: :teaandcoffee:




    :littlepigeons:

Yeaaah! Congratulations!;D

Thank you!! :lilo: :lilo: :lilo: :lilo: :fishie: :fishie: :fishie: :fishie:

What is it that you can keep after giving it to someone else?

Your word

Peace?

Hmmmnooot quite Brigid  :)
Give it another go  ;D

Faith ?
Or a cold - lol

Oh duh, I got it ! I'll write the answer in invisible ink -  ::)

Hi James  :happywave:
It is none of the above although in a sense you are right, if you give me your cold and sneezes, you still keep it, for a while at least. ;D

I don't see the answer James, where have you written it?

Haha, I thought you would like that.  :D
Ok the answer is: "Your Word" ?!
Ah, love that ink.  :teaandcoffee:  :teapot:






 :littlepigeons:

Congrats!
That is the right answer  :)

What a good puzzle!

Good one James!

Here's a simple and easy riddle:

Who went to sea for fear of drowning?

 :rainyday:

"simple and easy" Shin?
I'll chew on it for a while ;D

St. Peter ?

Saint Paul was involved in an incident at sea. But mmmmnnnnoooo!
It does not add up  ;D

Keep trying!  ;D

An aquaphobic sailor ?

 :rotfl: :rotflblue: :happyroll:

lol ! - I thought you'd like that ! - lol  ::)  :cheers: :fishie: :fishie: :fishie:

I give up Shin, J am defeated. Let me just take a cup of tea while I wait to hear the answer  :teapot:
Tell us, who went to sea for fear of drowning?

Oh, I can't tell you the answer to this one, haha.

I just have to give a hint.

Think Old Testament, not New Testament.  :D

Noah !

You guessed it James!  :rejoice:

                                                                       :tinyangel:

:littlepigeons: :fishie:

Congrats James  :cheers:
Now did Noah really "go to sea" or did the sea formed around him? ;D

 :happyroll:

One way or another, the sea was all he could see!   

 :rainyday: :rainyday: :rainyday: :rainyday: :rainyday: :rainyday: :rainyday: :rainyday: :rainyday:  :rainyday: :rainyday: :rainyday: :rainyday:

I hope there was no sea sickness on board the Ark.  :)

Here's a short easy riddle..  :D

Something there is which lives only in winter,
would die in summer, and grows with its root upwards?

. . .

And a joke for the day. . .

A parish priest in Dublin, Ireland, got tired of listening to the same old excuses from people who don't attend church. So he wrote the following and printed it in the Sunday bulletin:

Ten Reasons Why I Never Wash

1. I was forced to wash as a child.

2. People who wash are hypocrites. They think they are cleaner than everyone else.

3. There are so many different kinds of soap, I could never decide which one was right.

4. I used to wash, but it got boring so I stopped.

5. I wash only on special occasions, like Easter and Christmas.

6. None of my friends wash.

7. I'm still young. When I'm older and have gotten a bit dirtier, I might start washing.

8. I really don't have time to wash.

9. The bathroom is never warm enough in the winter or cool enough in the summer.

10. People who make soap are only after your money.

 ;D

 :flower:

Cleanliness is good!  :rotfl:

The answer is in invisible ink (lol) ! : An Icecicle

Haha good stuff James! It looks like it needs to be held behind a candle to be read!

 ;D

Didn't want to just give it away now - lol ! I can actually read it if I look hard enough. You don't see it if your not actually looking for it ! Love that ink !!!  :D ;D ;) ::)

I was able to see it, James.  I wouldn't have gotten that! Good!

Ah ha , Brigid has superman vision ! - lol !!!

 ;)
