Simple , try to figure out my riddles, or post your own:p


A)
I am the beginning of the end, and the end of time and space. I am essential to creation, and I surround every place. What am I?

B)
There was a green house. Inside the green house there was a white house. Inside the white house there was a red house. Inside the red house there were lots of babies. What is it?

C)
What's black when you get it, red when you use it, and white when you're all through with it?

D)
I am always hungry, I must always be fed, The finger I touch, Will soon turn red

E)
My life can be measured in hours, I serve by being devoured. Thin, I am quick
Fat, I am slow. Wind is my foe.

D)
What does man love more than life
Fear more than death or mortal strife
What the poor have, the rich require,
and what contented men desire,
What the miser spends and the spendthrift saves
And all men carry to their graves?

F)
You heard me before,
Yet you hear me again,
Then I die,
'Till you call me again.





And some stolen starcraft ones :p


1)
I take double damage and die to a flare
Diffuse twenty mines, but Adun doesn't care
Thrown at turrets and at tanks
but do I ever get a "thanks"?
It's why I've the blues - life just ain’t fair

2)
I sound like an Arab
And resemble his camel
When I squeeze through a needle’s eye
Though I glow like a cherub
I can be dismantled
And I’ve got more bugs than a hive

3)
Don’t need a key to open
Don’t ever cheer you up
Short circuit your circuit s a short while
while idle as ducks you’ll expire.

4)
Though alone and fixed
My name wrongly implies I’m
A group on the move

5)
On the grounds of Destination born and raised
In the middle is where I spend most of my days
Chilling out, maxing, relaxing all cool
and all watching some Starcraft, never going to school
When a couple of guys, they were up to no good
Started laying mines in my neighbourhood.
I got in one little fight, and a Zealot, for Adun,
Tripped one - Now I'm dead but my curse still lives on.

6)
There’s ten of us, our toes are blue
Leave it to us: let noone through.
Hey SCV stop!
Gone over the top?
Didn’t know that your deps were so high…

7)
I require no spire but still I'm a flyer
An Ovie I dont need to o'ersee my brood
No longer in motion I breed an explosion
I had better clean up – there is goo everywhere.

E) Candle

D) Nothing

F) Echo

INFO: Didn't cheat on those. In Facebook someone sent me a 200 riddle quiz and I loved riddles when I went to high school with him. I managed to get 182 right without cheating/research... it's just how my mind works. E (Candle) was surprisingly one of the harder ones for me at that time, but after letting it mill in my mind for a day or two it was fine. ALL of these riddles were on that quiz. I've looked over the SC ones, got good feelings on a few of them but I'll return later to see how I did.

Little interesting tidbit, the hardest riddle I've ever had to consider was one that was found in a well in Wizardry 7.. I'll post it here later as I almost have the darn thing memorized... I worked on it for MONTHS.. I just don't want to deter from Perfectears set of riddles at this time.

I also found out in finding the origin of this puzzle, it's a hobbit puzzle. Interesting:

G1) I know a thousand faces, and count the tailed heads, feasting bright upon the eyes, of many who have died. Wielding well a mighty power, who hath but humble stature. Masses fall upon their knees, to scarce behold my only side.

Please reply with flags.

Er, if it's what the two posters before me posted... I thought it was kind of obvious. Like I didn't even think about the answer before thinking about what they said.

That said, if it's not what the 2 posts before me said... then nvm. It can't be that obvious right?

Ya know :) I have to admit, it wasn't so obvious to me at the time I approached it :) Kudos to you all :)

Haha, come on, tails, faces, heads?

I think people just absentmindedly think "coin" when they read those words.
