teepee 15-09-2003, 09:21 PM No more to solve,do you have more kishor?
Gadget17 15-09-2003, 09:32 PM How can a Fish Drown? Wouldn't it have Suffocated as couldn't breath in Water?
Al3xandr3 15-09-2003, 11:25 PM Is this a riddle too? the fish suffocating?? :o
Gadget17 16-09-2003, 03:22 AM 11. temperature? stocks and shares? the sun?
I think that "The temperature" would be he right answer as the Stairs on an Escalator move.
Also What about Sound Volume! You turn the Radio Volume up or Down, but doesn't move, does it?
New One:- A horse travels a certain distance each day. Strangely enough, two of its legs travel 30 kilometers each day and the other two legs travel nearly 31 kilometers. It would seem that two of the horse's legs must be a kilometer ahead of the other two legs, but of course this is not the case. Since the horse is quite normal, how is this situation possible?
Jadeviper 16-09-2003, 08:31 AM it's going round in a circle so the outside legs are travelling further.
Gadget17 23-09-2003, 06:35 AM What do the following words have in common?
age, blame, curb, dance, evidence, fence, gleam, harm, interest, jam, kiss, latch, motion, nest, order, part, quiz, rest, signal, trust, use, view, win, x-ray, zone
It is not that they are in alphabetical order!
Jadeviper 25-09-2003, 01:12 PM I have no idea on this... is it related to the number of letters in each word?
Is it that when they're all put together in a list, it's really difficult to see a connection between them? :D

All of them can be either a verb or a noun.

Gadget17 06-10-2003, 02:03 PM Now then, how many animals did Moses take on the ark?
GRIM REAPER 06-10-2003, 02:21 PM a male & a female of every species.
Jadeviper 06-10-2003, 03:12 PM Moses didn't take any animals onto the Ark.
GRIM REAPER 09-10-2003, 01:05 PM i thought the animals went 2x2?
Jadeviper 09-10-2003, 01:13 PM yeah, but it was Noah who took them, not Moses :p
GRIM REAPER 09-10-2003, 01:20 PM i think i need glasses. i didn't even spot such an obvious mistake.
Jadeviper 10-10-2003, 09:30 AM it wasn't a mistake - it was deliberate and designed to catch you out exactly as it did :)
Gadget17 11-10-2003, 09:54 AM Whilst I was engaged in sitting I spied the dead carrying the living. Whats the Answer?
Jadeviper 11-10-2003, 06:55 PM the Answer? I didn't even see the Question!
LAuRA 12-10-2003, 09:39 AM There's nothing that google couldn't solve. The answer is Ship.
Not sure if I get it though... :confused:
Jadeviper 12-10-2003, 10:50 AM engaged in sitting... I couldn't get public toilets out of my head!
the ship must be the dead - dead wood?
GRIM REAPER 13-10-2003, 09:56 AM is it a lighthouse?
Jadeviper 13-10-2003, 06:51 PM is what a lighthouse?
GRIM REAPER 14-10-2003, 09:17 AM Originally posted by Jadeviper
is what a lighthouse?
the answer to gadgets question? Whilst I was engaged in sitting I spied the dead carrying the living. a lighthouse sits on the edge of a cliff & would spy boats carrying passengers
Jadeviper 14-10-2003, 11:42 AM a lighthouse is an inanimate object - it can't see things.
GRIM REAPER 14-10-2003, 01:02 PM i didn't know we had to be exact about what way we understand things.
Jadeviper 14-10-2003, 01:04 PM the riddle though implies that the watcher is living
GRIM REAPER 14-10-2003, 02:00 PM a lighthouse keeper then?
Jadeviper 14-10-2003, 03:05 PM possibly... I don't get this one at all :p
GRIM REAPER 14-10-2003, 03:48 PM where's gadget at? we need him to give us a clue.

Another answer is a coach or wagon, but that requires horses. A chair only holds the person, a wheelchair or pram needs to be pushed, a travois, rickshaw or parasail must be pulled, and a stretcher or palanquin has to be carried. Hot air balloons or hang gliders are reasonable, but are rarely made entirely of dead materials such as wood or cotton cloth; they usually contain metal or manmade fibers like nylon. A wooden ship, held together with wooden pegs, using cotton canvas sails, pine pitch caulking and hemp ropes is ideal." says this page here: http://www.contestcen.com/ans00026.htm
GRIM REAPER 15-10-2003, 11:50 AM maybe it's one of those dude's that sit up in the bird's nest on a wooden ship watching for stuff & shout "ahoy" alot?
Gadget17 20-10-2003, 11:39 PM Yep N/A. Wooden Ship!
Here's a new one for you to figure out:-
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?
Jadeviper 21-10-2003, 09:00 AM nothing :)
joolsvern 23-10-2003, 01:35 PM why is smiles the longest word ? Its childish but cant think of anyting else right now
GRIM REAPER 24-10-2003, 01:51 PM cause it's got miles in it.
what has the power to kill from the ocean but never be seen?
Gadget17 26-10-2003, 10:46 PM Is it salt? To much salt water would kill you but whilst in the Water you wouldn't see it.
joolsvern 27-10-2003, 02:43 PM if you don't get a reply you should post another question me thinks Gadget

sorry for not answering sooner. i had other things to do over the weekend.
Gadget. your answer is theoretically correct but it's not the one i'm looking for. i'm talking about death on a massive scale.
Jadeviper 27-10-2003, 04:41 PM is it hydrogen?
joolsvern 27-10-2003, 09:03 PM is it earthquake (continental plates)

Grim. Been a while now. Do we get the answer?
Gadget17 24-11-2003, 09:29 PM New Puzzle Then:-
I live above a star, and yet I never burn, I have eleven neighbours, and yet none of them turn, I am visited in sequence, first, last or in between, PQRS are my initials. Now, tell me what I mean.
r1chyluke 29-11-2003, 08:04 PM its the number 7 on a telephone :D
Gadget17 20-12-2003, 09:06 PM Sorry r1chyluke for not posting earlier. I haven't been in Waffle Games for a While.

Jadeviper 11-01-2004, 08:16 PM that doesn't work if it's the Siemens SX1, the 5 is above the star on that one ;)
