Not sure about the first one, but the riddle of the sphinx is an easy one! The answer is “Man” - in the morning of his life, he crawls on all fours… in the afternoon he walks upright on two legs, and in the evening of his life, he walks with a stick!

So here's mine (or, more correctly, Neil Gaiman's…)

I turn my head, you may go where you want
I turn it again, you stay 'till you rot
I have no face, but I live or die
By my crooked teeth - who am I?
Alaka-bwee-oop! Old school.

I want to say it's a gear, but I know it's not.


All the jokes I know are dirty.


I wrote this one riddle about a guitar for one of my english classes. It came out sounding like a mutilated body and it freaked out the class a little.

Damn it! I can't stop thinking about this one!

Uh… is it a key?


OK, here's one:

A man is allowed to see Heaven and Hell. In Hell, he sees a group of people around a table set with food, each person has a pair of chopsticks 5 meters long. Because of this, the people in Hell cannot get the food to their mouths and are starving. In Heaven, the man sees the same thing, but the people there are happy and well-fed. What are the people in Heaven doing that the people in Hell are not?

They're feeding each other. ;)

I don't have any good riddles, but here's a simple joke that makes me smile.

What do you get when you cross a stream and a pond?
Wet socks.

A coffin.

Me knows some too:

There's an oven, a lantern and a candle. You have one match. Which do you light first?

How much dirt would be in a hole that is 3x3x3?

Do you really need dirt for a hole?

You light the candle first, methinks.


Here's one that was impossible for me to do when I was eleven. It was one of those ‘pun riddles’ better done verbally.

Nevertheless:


You are stuck in a room, there are no doors, no windows, no holes. Walls are uber-re-enforced. All there is in the room is you and a table. How do you get out?

You bang your head onto the table until it gets sore. You then use the saw to cut the table in half. You take the two halves and make it whole. Finally, you get out through the hole. Yeah, WTF moment right there.

Here's one:

I am what I am, but if you know what I am, I am no longer what I am. What am I?

(not sure if anyone answered these, I have not looked further down the thread yet)

I'd light the candle, then use it to light everything else. (I assume the oven is gas)

No dirt- it's a hole.

…right?

edit Argh! The match one got me XD

I was aiming for riddle, but mystery works.

Another one:

What do you call a fly without wings.

I just thought of another joke thingy. (Yeah, maybe I can get you a good riddle later…)
“Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.”

..,naughty ones are my faves… I think these are cryptic enough to be ok here… tell me if they're not.

Two Nuns in a bath.
One says “Where's the soap?”
The other replies “It does.”

Two nuns on a tandem going down a cobbled street.
One says to the other “I've never come this way before!”

…Old jokes…
riddles are for Hobbits ^^

The answer was ‘a walk’. The follow-up: what do you call a walk with wings?
