It should be 651. The numbers come from the power of 2: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512. Three consecutive digits form a number.

[Dillon]

Whats a rebus? :S

[Myriad]

Uh. . .a puzzle thingamajig. A thing that you have to unsolve that usually dooesn't really make sense unitl you unscrable it, and it's usually a common phrase. :)

[Dillon]

Ah i see Thanks!

[MOPGhost]

26 letters? I don't really think that's right.

[Izzy ♥]

I think its got something to do with the fact that its the alphabet with the "R" and "U" swapped, only I can't seem to figure out why they're switched XD

[Ellie_Penguin]

Well U R out of place?

[Myriad]

Yes! Lol, Isabel so close. ;)

 

In September, you pick me when I'm good and ready.

In October, you cut me intentionally to make me look worse.

In November, you trash me like you never knew me.

 

What am I?

[kikaown]

A pumpkin. That's easy.

[Ellie_Penguin]

That's probably the easiest riddle you have ever posted, Myriad LOL.

[Myriad]

Lol, sorry 'bout that. :* This one will be better.

 

Detective Leong was involved in a murder investigation. In the suspect's house, the only thing he found useful was a password protected computer and a piece of paper nailed to the wall. He suspected that the paper was the answer to accessing the computer, but could not figure out what the password is.

Written on the paper was "ShE IS ILL".

Do you know what the password is?

[ishamaria]

Is the password sillies? This board is so old!

[kikaown]

77151345. If you turn it upside down, you get a series of numbers.

[Myriad]

Actually, if you turn it 90 degrees of something like that.

Gosh. . it is old. Should It be closed?

 

A grammar teacher is giving a lesson about how to use short words, like I, is, the, and, etc. in a sentence correctly. The teacher tells the class to use a sentence with at least 5 short words. One boy raises his hand and says, "I is-". The teacher said, "No, always say 'I am'." So the student says his sentence with "I am" at the beginning, but this makes the sentence incorrect. What could the boy have been trying to say?

 

[kikaown]

I is a one letter word.

 

It may be old, but it is active. We would just make another one. Its like the off-topic board, but not off-topic.

 

Isn't it 180 degrees? upside down? Turning it sideways wouldn't make any sense.

[Boomer]

I think the answer would be something like this: I is the ninth letter in the alphabet. If you switch is with am it reads: I am the ninth letter in the alphabet,which is incorrect.

[Myriad]

Yeah. You guys are really good with English!! A way harder one:

 

Hmm. . .maybe it is. o_O.

 

The following is a famous saying in big words. Can you translate it back to the original?

 

Scintillate, scintillate, globule of vivific

Fain would I fathom thy nature specific

Loftily poised above the capacious

Closest resembling a gem carbonaceous.

[Boomer]

Heheheh thats not hard for me i know how to do it but i want to see if anyone else can get it so i will pm it to you Myriad.

[kikaown]

Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star. I only got it from the third line, up above the world so high

[Myriad]

I had no idea. o_O.

 

A man is looking at a picture and says:

"Sisters and brothers have I none,

But that man's father was my father's son."

Who is in the picture?

[Izzy ♥]

Is it a picture of his son?

[Dillon]

I think its a picture of either his son or nephew.

 

This board is old but still active.

[Izzy ♥]

It can't be his nephew as he says he doesn't have any brothers or sisters lol
