[Heron TSG]

Riddle is ipen.

I don't get it.

[Argembarger]

The riddle is open, you mean?

Lemme do another! Same theme?

[Lord Shonus]

Yeah, same tehme.

[breadbocks]

I got a good one. Just let me dig it up.

EDIT: Hah! Found it.

You are in a room. You see three doors. One is red, and says burning. One is Green and says poison. One is Blue and says drowning. In front of you is a sign that says "One door leads to salvation, the others, certain death."

Which door do you pick?

[Caesar]

I turn around and leave through the door which I entered the room through.



I am in a room, and I see three doors. One is Red, one is Green and another is Blue. All three lead to certain death. In front of me is a sign that tells me that there is one door that leads to salvation.

Conclusion is that there is one door that I am not currently seeing, so that door must be either behind or left/right of me.

[RedWarrior0]

No, you open the blue door and let the flood put out the fire behind the red door, then go through the red.

[Lord Shonus]

I'm not going to allow that as a riddle. More of a logic puzzle. Riddle is open.

[Heron TSG]

The man who built it doesn't want it.
The man who bought it doesn't need it.
The man who needs it doesn't know it.

[Lord Shonus]

Ancient one. A casket.


The man who built it doesn't want it. - Carpenters make them for sale
The man who bought it doesn't need it. - They're usually bought by relatives
The man who needs it doesn't know it. - You go in it when you're already dead

Yeah, this was right. While the logic isn't quite right about another door being mentioned, you do go through the door you entered safely through.

[Heron TSG]

Yes, it is indeed a deadbox.

[Lord Shonus]

Excellent. My riddle and 50 points.

Let's try a bit tougher one

Small as a mouse
Or big as a house
Wide as the sea
or thin as a bee

All these sizes I can be
Regardless, through me you see
Visions of eternity
Precious as yellow gold
the secrets I do hold

[Sgt. Sherman]

A book. The first stanza, while overstating, aludes to the various sizes books come in.

The second stanza talks of both the things you "see" while reading, as well as knowlege, which is more important than any treasure and can only be gained by reading.

[Heron TSG]

Information transfer cable.

Small as a mouse - Or smaller, unless it's a big wire.
Or big as a house - Exaggeration maybe, but some wires get pretty thick. Maybe a power station, complete with inductors.
Wide as the sea - Transoceanic wires are all over the place.
or thin as a bee - Connections within modern electronics are pretty small.

All these sizes I can be - Yup.
Regardless, through me you see - If it's a fiber optics cable, yes, literally.
Visions of eternity - Information is forever, so long as the data is recorded at one end of the line.
Precious as yellow gold - Information is pretty expensive these days.
the secrets I do hold - Such as conversations and such.

[Lord Shonus]

Sherman is correct.
