Recently, I have been addicted to tons of riddles. Speaking of a riddle with tons, here is one.
What weighs more? A ton of Feathers or a ton of Bricks?
Well obviously they weigh the same.
Riddles just seem to be a good brain teaser, and the feeling of getting a brain teaser right is pretty awesome. I've been looking up random riddles just to challenge myself and I believe that I can get most of them right. You just have to think like a riddle. Here is one of my favorites,
"A man is captured by Goblins, he is allowed to say one statement that will decide his death. If it is a false statement, he will be boiled in water. If it is a true statement, he will be fried in oil. The man said a statement that made the goblins release him. What did he say?"
This made me think, really hard. I'll tell you the answer at the end of the blog. Force you to read it.
Now a good riddle will make you think for a creative solution; bad riddles make you think for like a second and then you found out it is a stupid answer. They really annoy me, an example would be:
"How many bricks does it take to make a building of bricks?"
The answer is one.
Now, if you can explain to me how a person can live in a brick building containing only one brick, you are worthy of the Nobel Peace Prize. Riddles are amazing! I can tell riddles for years and years and not get bored. They are simply amazing. Once you find a good riddle, you tell everyone that will listen until everyone knows the answer.
By the way, the man captured by Goblins said, "You will boil me in water." If it is a true statement and he will be boiled in water, he should have been fried in oil because it was a true statement. If they said it was false and they ended up boiling him in water, he should have been fried in oil because it was true. Confusing, yes.
Casey you and your crazy riddles. Yesterday in the computer lab that's all I heard. well your sucking up too. Those riddles were pretty confusing though I wouldn't have even thought of any of those answers you told me.
ReplyDeleteWell I'm glad someone (you) is smart enough to figure out riddles because it would take me FOREVER to come up with an answer that would end up being wrong.
ReplyDeleteI like riddles a lot but I usually can never figure them out and give up with a headache. Im only right when they are super easy..for like three year olds.
ReplyDeleteI still think that my funeral riddle wins...:) I love hearing a new riddle from you everyday! Hahah. Clearly you enjoy riddles. And you find neat things out from riddles, like the fact that Aaron Bergan has serial killer tendencies.
ReplyDeleteSomeone can obviously live in a one brick house if the brick was large enough and the person was small enough. You're welcome. Prize, please?
ReplyDeleteSo you were asking me some of these in the computer lab. I sucked but I did get a few. Like...2 maybe? ha. You got the one riddle I asked you.
ReplyDelete"What do you put in a toaster?"
The answer: bread. Most people say toast because it's automatic.
I can never understand them but they do make me think. I like to guess and it's fun so your learning but it doesn't really feel like it..which makes it fun. but I guess you just have to keep reading them to become better.
