Riddle game.

[esskreemr]

Rules are simple. Think of an item. Post an obscure "definition" of this item. Be obscure but "It's a black rectangle" for your file cabinet isn't good enough.


First Riddle: I see something that is flat yet can hold vast worlds.

I'm hoping that I get better as this goes along

[ThatReallyHurt]

A piece of paper? You can write about all kinds of stuff on a piece of paper.

If that's right, then:

A little scurrying rodent I'm named after, yet squeeze me and I shall never squeak.

First Riddle: I see something that is flat yet can hold vast worlds.

If TRH is wrong I'd like to try for (World) Atlas.

A little scurrying rodent I'm named after, yet squeeze me and I shall never squeak.

Rat?

(Rat also as in snitch.)

[howtobrew]

A computer Mouse.


Why did the chicken stop in the middle of the road?

[Tydive]

A little scurrying rodent I'm named after, yet squeeze me and I shall never squeak.

Mouse, as in that thing next to the keyboard.

I think ZZ got it right with Atlas, so Q to her.

Here is an older one that I like

The man who built it didn't need it
The man who bought it didn't want it
The man who used it didn't know it

What is it?

Close enough, I was thinking of a book. I figured it would be an easy one, but I think I need to develop my riddle creation skills.

e

but one letter is too short a message to post to the board so I had to add this to the end

[ThatReallyHurt]

Erm...

A three letter word. Anyone can drink from it, but men may cry without it...

the newspaper.


I know a word of letters three.
Add two, and fewer there will be.

[InweCiryatan]

The word is 'few.'

A box without hinges, key, or lid, but the golden treasure inside is hid.

[Elendae]

That's right.

ooh... I know this one.. but I should let someone else try...

[VERITAS]

An egg.

Its from the Hobbit, where Bilbo and Gollum take turns posing riddles. This one nearly stumped Gollum, since he had not seen eggs for quite a time.

EDIT: My riddle.

You are in a room with three light switches, each having 2 clearly marked positions, On and Off. The adjoining room has three light bulbs. Your task is to match each light switch with the bulb it controls. You may only enter the room with the light bulbs once.

How do you proceed?

[Iwant2bafencer]

Turn the lights on (or off if they are on). That's the easy answer anyway.

yeah I don't know a riddle right now.

[Philistine]

Open the door to the adjoining room. Don't go in yet. Start turning the switches and look (from outside) to see which switch turns on which light.

MINE:

There is a word in the English language:

The first two letters refer to a man
The first three letters refer to a woman
The first four letters refer to a great man
The whole word relates to a great woman.
