You wrote the riddle wrong, but yes, it's a coffin.

Also, thread reported for not being in your last riddle thread.

I'm using this thread to post riddles I find interesting.

An king is growing old and wishes to pass over his throne two one of his two sons. He tells them that they will have a race, and the horse that passes the finish line last shall win the crown for its master. For days, the boys aimlessly wander the kingdom, not wanting to go any farther than the other, when a wise old man comes along and tells them to do something. Moments later, both boys are racing towards the finish line. What did he tell them?

I dunno if this is riddle and some have probly heard it. But ill post it anyway. Its more like inteligence test than riddle.

You are in quiz show. There are 3 doors that contain prize inside the door. 1 of the doors have a car inside and two of the doors have chicken inside.

You are asked to pick one of the doors. You decide you want to open door number 1. Before the door is opened, gameshow host opens door number 3 and reveals a chicken from there.

Then he asks you if you want to change your choise to door number 2 or stay with door number 1?

What should you do, you really want that new car? Stay with door number 1 or change your choise to door number 2?




Dont spoil it right away, just post what would you do.

That's an issue with statistics, and it's always safer to take the other door. Statistically, the guy always has a 2/3 chance of having whatever nice thing, since you are only picking one of the three doors. Just because you know what his other 1/3 is doesn't change the fact that your door only has a 1/3 chance of being the nice thing.

Hmm, a game that has things people want, but when someone plays it someone else can take the things that the first person wants? is it the price is right? Just kidding, I don't know.
How about this

What kills kings and raises children, destroys kingdoms and grows plants?
It can level a mountain just by passing by it? It can corrupt men and save lives.
What is it?

Ha ha I get it. It's really not that hard

How about this one,

There is a man in a town who was born before his father, killed his mother, and married his sister. All of this was public knowledge to the town, but he was considered as normal as everybody else. How?

how about this one: A man, who happens to be a docter, is driving with his son on the highway. Suddenly their car is rammed and they are rushed to different hospitals, they are both critically injured. The son is about to undergo surgery when the docter looks at the boy and says: I cant operate that boy he, he is my son.

How is that possible?

Two gay people have adopted the son. And both are doctors.

That's not a riddle, it's one of the oldest sexism tests in the book.

Acording to wiki (yea i know) its an enigma. And i know that it is a sexism test, but since i have never met anyone irl who could answer it right (they usually say thats its a gay couple) i thought it would qualify as a riddle here.

What runs but never walks, sometimes sings but never talks, has hands but no arms, and has a face but has no head?

A clock.

What lives in winter, dies in summer, and grows with its roots upward?

An icicle.

What has four wheels and flies?

A garbage truck.

Why do people go to bed?

Because the bed won't come to them.

The big moron and the little moron were standing on the bridge over the river Mississippi. The big moron fell off. How come the little moron didn't fall off too?

The little moron did not fall off because he was a little more on.

What's Irish and stays out in back of the house, even in the rain?

An anvil, anything heavy (not that you would want to catch one, but hey).
A pop-fly in baseball (because that gets hit, not thrown).
A train, cab, transportation etc.
<Popular whatever> fever (like baseball fever, etc.).
I caught your mom, but she was too fat to throw. My arms hurt from trying.
Any sort of disease, like a fever (or a cold, like Japut3h said).

nothing


Okay, how about this, your driving a bus, the bus stops at the first stop and 2 people get on, at the second stop 4 people get on, at the third stop 3 get off and 2 get on. What color are the bus drivers eyes?
You are the bus driver, so the color of your eyes.
