antiaircraft Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 There's a code breaking game on Neopets? *runs off to find it* I am a codes person after all.
Myriad Posted January 18, 2008 Author Posted January 18, 2008 Rofl! Yep, the answer is Congratulatins Code Breaker. Good job on figuring that out! It was supposed to be a hard one. :) This nezt one can have 3 answers. I like beavers. They give me a place to swim. I am a word that can mean hard, rigid, fixed, unmoving, and determined. I am an 80's "Rock Star" with a white line across my face. An 80's punk band wanted to exterminate me with their "spray" name. Who am I and what is the word?
Ryuuk Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 1.) An ant in a dam 2.) Adam Ant, he's an 80's rock star with a line across his face 3.) Hard, fixed, determined, etc are all synonymous with adamant
Myriad Posted January 19, 2008 Author Posted January 19, 2008 Did you copy and paste that answer? Because it sounds exactly like the answer from Braingle.com. A dam ant. (An ant in a dam.) Adam Ant (80's rock star with a line across his face.) Hard, fixed, determined, etc are all synonymous with adamant It's cheating to look it up. Sorry, but I'm not going to give you any points for that answer. :( The next brain teaser: What is significant about the following dates? November 16, 1936 August 27, 1728 September 24, 1944 December 7, 1008
Ryuuk Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 Actually, I never look up answers. Like I've said before, I've read up on riddles since I found this thread. If it makes you feel better, I'll lie and say that I looked it up. I wont be participating anymore because you think I'm cheating.
antiaircraft Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 o_O ... Ahem. Yeah. I remember the riddle above very clearly, since we had a sort of unofficial riddle contest at my school about a year back. That was the riddle that I couldn't solve... but since I know the answer already, I'll leave it to the others.
Myriad Posted January 20, 2008 Author Posted January 20, 2008 Um. Whoops. I sent Ryuuk a PM to apologise, since he probably won't be around this thread. . . Thanks for leaving that one. :) Next time I'll post one that you haven't heard!
Loc Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 Wow, that is hard...umm they are all on leap years? BTW I know that's wrong..I think
Ryuuk Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 Simple math. We did this riddle in math class (and history class) last year (freshman year) to see if we could square the month number and multiply the answer by the day. If you do it correctly, you'll get the precise year you see in the riddles. I'm not going to show you how I did the math; figure it out yourself. BTW, those who are wondering why I'm answering this riddle, it's because Myriad messaged me and we got it straightened out.
antiaircraft Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 Thanks for leaving that one. :) Next time I'll post one that you haven't heard! That's no problem - it's simply that I spent a good portion of my life trying out more than my fair share of riddles (with 'riddles' being used as a generic term). :P
Myriad Posted January 21, 2008 Author Posted January 21, 2008 Exactly. If anybody wants to know how to do the maths, just ask me. It's kind of complicated. I hope no-one has heard this one! Which proverb is hidden below? Laughing out openly kills bees. Even foxy orangutans relish eating yellowy orange umbrellas. Leopards eat angry people.
Ryuuk Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 This is just like one that you've had up before. Like the "Congratulations code breaker" one. Take the first letter of each word and you'll get: "Look before you leap." Laughing out openly kills bees. Even foxy orangutans relish eating yellowy orange umbrellas. Leopards eat angry people. See? L o o k b e f o r e y o u l e a p
antiaircraft Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 Aww, you got to the easy code before I did. :P
Myriad Posted January 22, 2008 Author Posted January 22, 2008 Whoops. It was kind of like the other one. :* Okay, the next one is: I'm called the Evening star, or Morning star, It depends on when I'm seen. In the early 1960's I was wearing blue jeans.
antiaircraft Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 Well the answer that pops into my head is Venus, although I have no idea what it has to do with blue jeans.
Loc Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 Yeah, I'm going to have to go with Venus, it is seen in the morning or evening, and Venus in Blue Jeans was a song in the early 1960's.
antiaircraft Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 Oh... well that explains quite a bit. *is still clueless*
Ryuuk Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 Aww, you got it before me! -pouts cutely- Ah well! The "Evening Star" kind of gave it away. I live in Phoenix so I see it all the time! Look at it through a telescope; it's really pretty.
Myriad Posted January 23, 2008 Author Posted January 23, 2008 I never actually looked through a telescope. *sighs* I want to. And yes, the answer was Venus! This next one isn't that good. Sorry, I was in a rush. :( On my own I am double and can support myself, With another I'm trouble if I've undone myself. What word am I?
Ryuuk Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 At first I thought it was "double" because it says "On my own I am DOUBLE and can stand on my own. . ." but then I got to thinking about a friend of mine, Frankie, who's got some problems with his legs. The answer is "brace". The dictionary definition of 'brace' is 'to support'. Brace is the word because braces come in pairs (double) which you can use for many things. If they came undone while you were using them, you'd be in big TROUBLE.
Loc Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 Ryuuk, you must have read a bunch of puzzle book's, are really smart, or are really lucky, because you beat me to all of these. :nerd:
Ryuuk Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 Hun, I have well over 20 puzzle books in my room that I've read and completed in less than an hour. I'm a dork. I need a life. XD
antiaircraft Posted January 24, 2008 Posted January 24, 2008 Don't we all? :P I haven't looked through a telescope before, but I've done plenty of fiddling with microscopes.
Myriad Posted January 24, 2008 Author Posted January 24, 2008 Rofl. xD Who needs "A Life" when you have Brain Teasers? I think at least one person would have heard this riddle before. Oh well. I like it. :) Ray Whitcombe was found dead in his office at his desk. The police have narrowed the suspects down to three people: Mrs. Barbara Whitcombe, Ray's wife Mr. Jason McCubbins, Ray's business partner Mr. Harold Nichols, Ray's best friend All three visited Mr. Whitcombe the day of his murder, but all three provided the police with stories of explanation as to the reason for their visit. Police found Mr. Whitcombe with his wrist watch still on his right arm, a torn up picture of his wife laying on the floor beside the trash can, and an ink pen in his right hand. On the desk, the police found a name plate, a telephone that was off the hook, and a personal calendar turned to the July 5th page with 7B91011 written on it. After examining this evidence, the police knew their suspect. Who was it?
Hubert Posted January 24, 2008 Posted January 24, 2008 That must be the business partner because 7B91011 is months. B is a 8. 7 = July B=8=August 9 = September 10=October 11= November. J A S O N .| _________| I hope that it's the right answer because it was hard to "see".
