actually.... there really isnt much more than a fair chance that solkutiopn is the 'proper' one... i went and checked this one out just now.

personally., i would've said 'what'...

but the thing is, noone really knows the correct answer anymore, what with both riddle and answer being corrupted over time.


anyway...

The trick to solving this riddle is to think about it in the correct way...
The initial charge is $30. The charge should've been $25... so there are 5 missing dollars.
and... $3 of those are given to the guests. The other two? end up in the bellhop's pocket.

solved. and so... i figure i might as well keep the momentum up here...

try these two. They're not really so hard.



'I occur once in a minute, twice in every moment, but not once in a hundred thousand years. what am I?'

and...

'We are little airy creatures,
All of diff'rent voice and features,
One of us in glass is set,
One of us you'll find in jet,
T'other you may see in tin,
And the fourth a box within,
If the fifth you shou'd pursue,
It can never fly from you.'

oh, shoot...

my internet is being rather slow today... and in the 10 minutes that took to send my message through, lord Z beat me to it.

son of a gun...

Okay, here's another to stack on Regals two... Maybe this'll give me more time to find/think of better ones...



Yeah, kinda kiddy.... but it took me forever...

Regal's first is obvious... it's the letter "m".

The second one took me a bit longer, because I hadn't heard it before and was looking at the wrong words. It's vowels.

Lantis's... I dunno yet.

Someone dares start a riddle thread and not invite me?

After all I am the mags (and at on point, skyler's ) riddle master!

Lantis: A wheelbarrow.

lol, apparently....



OMG if anyone gets this without looking it up.... they win. I don't know what they win, but that's besides the point...

Used it before.

Therein


Next:
What's so fragile, even saying it's name can break it.

Silence...

An iron horse with a flaxen tail.
The faster the horse runs,
the shorter his tail becomes. What is it?

A train?

*takes deep breath and says a dumb answer*

lantis: a car

*counts on fingers*

9 x 3 =27.

10 x 3 =30

30-25 =5

25+3 =28

30-27 =3

27-25 =2

3+2 =5

yep, the math is right

not a car or a train...

Actually it's not even a vehicle...

And Staffy, how many fingers do you have?!

... at a guess.... (flax, etc)

a needle.

EDIT; ^and thread...








How far can a dog run into the woods?

Halfway; then it'd be running out of the woods.

hah! very good...

ok then

'men walk over, men walk under, during war men burn asunder...'

that one is a little bit harder... XD

... a bridge?

^duh...

I have a million ears yet I hear only silence.
I have a billion eyes yet I see only darkness.
My kingdom is small, but with in its borders the universe is contained.
What am i?

... A petri dish full of microscopic organisms?

a snow globe, space, movie, rpg maker series, the internet or earth?

Thats just a list of what it might be.

Staffy: The Brain?

I don't have eyes, but once I did see.
Once I had thoughts, but now I'm white and empty
