Myriad Posted April 19, 2007 Author Share Posted April 19, 2007 This is the new riddle: Xavier was going to the casino. His friend, Rex, gave him £100. He asked him to place it on Red 13 at the roulette table. He was feeling very luck, and thought he would win. How much would Rex win if he won his bet? Yeah, it's his son. It really hurts your head!

Izzy ♥ Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Dillon if you needed to try not to copy then you didn't really need to post at all lol I know the answer to this one, there was a similar question at a quiz night I went to last week, but I won't say becasue I got the last one :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myriad Posted April 21, 2007 Author Share Posted April 21, 2007 Lol, no, go ahead! I had no idea, I don't gamble. :) My auntie had an old roulette game thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellie_Penguin Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Actually 13 is black, not red. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myriad Posted April 22, 2007 Author Share Posted April 22, 2007 Yes! Very smart. It's always called Black 13 for some reason. For this you need to know about. .stuff. Fred ran a flag making business. Things were looking bleak when, out of the blue, someone called from the Paraguayan Embassy. They needed an urgent consignment of 1000 Paraguayan flags by the following week. Fred got to work straight away. He got a picture of the current Paraguayan flag, got hold of the required cloth and he and his staff worked without stopping until the flags were dispatched. The business was saved, or so he thought. Unfortunately, the Embassy refused to pay and returned them all. Fred has now lost his business, but why?

Justin Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 The Paraguayan flag has different emblems on the 2 different sides. Obviously Fred only paid attention to one of the sides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myriad Posted April 24, 2007 Author Share Posted April 24, 2007 Yes, that's right. :) How did you know that? A man falls 150 feet without a parachute. He flips upside down six times and lands safely on the ground. How does he do this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creeper unidog Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 i have changed my answer!i think its space mountain or its like the ride stratosphere(the one that goes really high then go down) but you flip 6 times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dillon Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 I think I have it each of the six times he jumped a sum of 150 ft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antiaircraft Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 150 feet/6 = 25 feet. Falling 25 feet six times would still hurt. I have no idea what the answer is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izzy ♥ Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 I looked it up... its a very strange answer lol Not sure if anyone will think of it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dillon Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Not really AA. 25 feet when you flip is like 12.5 or less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Ooh, ooh. I know this one. :) He was on a rollercoaster (Post deleted, AA. Thanks for the alert) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creeper unidog Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 yah!!!!that sounds logical or the answer.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kikaown Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Well, in that case, does it really count as falling or landing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellie_Penguin Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 In order to answer this riddle, you would really have to look it up because it has many possible answers. Rollercoasters do not land on the ground. And the answer could also be an acrobat or a pro swimmer jumping off a diving board. I don't think a rollercoaster like that even exists.

Izzy ♥ Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 According to Braingle, rollercoster is the answer though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellie_Penguin Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Are the riddles made by random users or do they come from a book? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 I've heard a similar riddle. Sue me. *shrug* I think the 'landing', in this riddle, refers to the bottom of the beginning 'fall'. Riddles involve power of interpretation, I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dillon Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 It all depends on how you interpret it so my answer could be considered kinda sorta correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myriad Posted April 25, 2007 Author Share Posted April 25, 2007 Uh, yeah, I guess. The answer to that was rollercoaster, but I guess an acrobat or a diver would be right as well. Sorry this is a bit late, I was out all day. Old Mr. Tidy was found dead in his study by Mr. Fiend. Mr. Fiend recounted his dismal discovery to the police. "I was walking by Mr. Tidy's house when I thought I would just pop in for a visit. I noticed his study light was on and I decided to peek in from the outside to see if he was in there. There was frost on the window, so I had to wipe it away to see inside. That is when I saw his body. So I kicked in the front door to confirm my suspicions of foul play. I called the police immediately afterward." The officer immediately arrested Mr. Fiend for the murder of Mr. Tidy. How did he know Mr. Fiend was lying?

Eric Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 I imagine that the frost would build up on the inside of the window, as opposed to the outside of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antiaircraft Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Yup, that's true, unless you're in a place with a tropical climate like Malaysia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
