Riddles
« on: 05 Aug, 2019, 06:05:37 pm »
So, we heard about a female cat... she gave birth to a few kittens (aww..) which were named Mandu, Deeley, Astrophe and Scan.

What was the mothers name.

Cat?

catMandu
Cat Deeley
catAstrophe
Cat Scan

Or is that too obvious and is the "sucker punch" answer?

I thought this riddle was fairly hard when I posted it.... here's an easier one

You need to find a word and to do so put a letter in between two e's
i.e. The word starts with e and ends with e.
What is the word?

OK so the cat riddle wasn't a question.. just statements ending in a full stop.

ergo: "What" was the mothers name.

I’ve never been able to solve riddles.  I don’t seem to have that kind of logic. 🙁

but you've presumably seen the problem with the lift, chap leaves his apartment and travels to the ground floor to go to work, gets out at floor 7 after work and walks the rest of the way up, unless someone else is there in the lift OR if it is raining?  :clap:

He must be a very short person (are we allowed to say dwarf anymore?) to only reach the 7th floor button unless he has his umbrella with him or shares the lift with a taller person.

As DAVE got the elevator riddle correct and also the "put a letter between two e's"  I think it's a good opportunity for him to set a riddle for us?
por favor, Dave  :clap:

I only know a few old ones like this one:-

You are out camping.
You are awakened by a rustling noise.
You go outside and see a bear outside your tent.
You run 1 mile south, 1 mile west, and 1 mile north, to return to your camp which has been destroyed.
What colour is the bear?
