The Riddle Thread II : Othor Games

» Sun Feb 20, 2011 5:09 am

I ask you, would you like to participate in a game of wit and logic? If so here are the rules:

1. For the sake of order let's stick to one riddle at a time.
2. Someone will pose a riddle for everyone to try and guess
3. The first person to guess correcty gets to pose the next riddle. If they can't think of one they can choose to give their "turn" to someone else.
4. Make sure to quote the riddle as to avoid any confusion
5. If the person who asked a riddle has not been in the thread to tell people if they were correct or not for a few days then it will become "open floor" So, anyone can come up with the next riddle.

Current Riddle:

First, think of a person who lived in disguise,
who deals in secrets and tells naught but lies.
Next, tell me what is always the last thing to mend,
the middle of middle and end of the end.
And finally, give me the sound that is often heard,
during the search for a hard-to-find word.
Now string them together and answer me this:
Which creature would you be unwilling to kiss?

I'll check in the morning to see if anyone got it (roughly 6 hours from now)

I refuse to even try to solve something this absurdly long, and stupidly worded. This riddle is relying on word play, rather than any actual hints.

Goodluck to anyone wasting there time on this one >.<
Ill wait for the next lol.

IS IT TURTLE?
ya, just guessed before i hit post.

EDIT: You probably should of let someone else throw a riddle down if you're going to bed...
Since we've been trying to keep constant riddles and guesses coming and going lol.

Really? I don't think it's fair for you to criticize the style and validity of a riddle because you're unwilling to solve it.

Spoiler

The answer is "Spider".

Oi DC, you should be studying or something.

I have to say, Sapp, I really like this riddle. It requires some form of creativity, and there's really only one way to answer this properly, which DC gave up there^.

That's from Harry Potter, isn't it? I'm 101% sure that Donkey_Cavity solved it correctly.

Yep, you got it. :goodjob:

Oh sir, you just pulled a Harry Potter on us. From the Goblet of fire when

Spoiler

Harry encounters the sphynx

I love those books.

Edit* It is Donkey_cavity's riddle :spotted owl: but I'll say if he doesn't post one in a bit (i think he's offline) we'll make it open floor.

The Pope has it but he does not use it. Your father has it but your mother probably uses it too. Nuns do not have it, neither does Madonna. What is it?

EDIT: And I can honestly say that I've never read The Goblet of Fire.

Then I'm glad I used spoiler tags. I would recommend the Harry Potter books. They are much better than the film adaptations ( as always

)
For some people the series doesn't pick up until the third book, The prisoner of Azkaban (which is my favorite) but for me I love the whole series. :wub:
Plus you can probably find them at your local library!

Now onto your riddle: I feel like this is too obvious of a answer to be correct but... Male genitalia?

I own all of the books (well, my family does), I just stopped reading after The Prisoner of Azkaban (ironically enough

). I may give them another try eventually. I only ever saw the second Harry Potter movie.

Incorrect, I'd never ask such a crude-answered riddle... on these forums.

Well in that case the answer must be... A last name!?

Edit* if I got it correct someone else can take my turn as I won't be back online until later today/tonight

But Madonna has a last name, according to Wikipedia.

That's a tough one. The title of parent?

» Sun Feb 20, 2011 2:44 am

I don't know... guilt?

Nah that can't be right... I'm sure that the Pope uses guilt.

If it's not parent...Respect for men?

Correct!

Ranos, the article says the Madonna was born with a last name.
