TheLizard Posted August 4, 2006 Report Posted August 4, 2006 Alright, my turn, here's an Irish rhyming riddle: Two brothers are we, great burdens we bear In which we are bitterly pressed The truth we do speak, we are full all the day And empty when we go to rest
TheLizard Posted August 4, 2006 Report Posted August 4, 2006 Wrong! I can understand the association between an Irish riddle and drinking, but that's incorrect.
TheLizard Posted August 4, 2006 Report Posted August 4, 2006 You got it! You win... I dunno, pride points or something.
Levis Posted March 22, 2007 Report Posted March 22, 2007 *bump* In a certain mythical community, politicians never tell the truth and nonpoliticians always tell the tru\th. A stranger meets three natives and asks the first of them, "Are you a politician?" The first native answers the question. The second native then reports that the first native denied being a politician. The third native said that the first native is a politician. How many of the three natives are politicians?
Farin Posted March 22, 2007 Report Posted March 22, 2007 [spoilerq:1]possible solution[/spoilerq] [spoilera:1]the first one HAS to say that he's NOT a politician (otherwise it would come to a paradox), so the second one tells the truth and the third one lies we have one politicain - the third one[/spoilera]
Levis Posted March 22, 2007 Report Posted March 22, 2007 You're close. The first part of the answer is right. You're right about the second one. But read the statement about the third native again.
Farin Posted March 22, 2007 Report Posted March 22, 2007 [spoilerq:1]2nd try[/spoilerq] [spoilera:1]we only know that the first one CLAIMS to be not a politician, and thus the second one clearly tells the truth but we can't be sure if the really IS telling the truth (making the third one a liar), or the third one telling the truth - and the first one is the politician there are two normal guys and one politician, but we don't know if it's the first or the third[/spoilera]
Levis Posted March 22, 2007 Report Posted March 22, 2007 That's right! Yes normal guys. And politicians
Farin Posted March 22, 2007 Report Posted March 22, 2007 yay :happybanana: I think we should always post the answer in spoilers, so that others might still solve it after another already got it... new one: A man is sitting in a pub feeling rather poor. He sees the man next to him pull a wad of £50 notes out of his wallet. He turns to the rich man and says to him, "I have an amazing talent: I know almost every song that has ever existed." The rich man laughs. The poor man says, "I am willing to bet you all the money you have in your wallet that I can sing a genuine song with a lady's name of your choice in it." The rich man laughs again and says, "OK, how about my daughter's name, Joanna Armstrong-Miller?" The rich man goes home poor. The poor man goes home rich. What song did he sing?
Levis Posted March 22, 2007 Report Posted March 22, 2007 I thought and thought and thought. Then I took a break. Then I thought some more. And I think I got itHe sings "happy birthday" ?
Levis Posted March 22, 2007 Report Posted March 22, 2007 The day before yesterday, Chris was 7 years old. Next year, she'll turn 10. How is this possible?
Farin Posted March 22, 2007 Report Posted March 22, 2007 [spoilerq:1]don't click if you want to solve it for yourself[/spoilerq] [spoilera:1]seems that Chris' birthday is on the 31st of December... so today is 1st January, LAST year (yesterday) was her 8th birthday, THIS year she'll turn 9, NEXT year she'll turn 10 [/spoilera]
Thanatos Posted March 29, 2007 Report Posted March 29, 2007 (edited) I have one probably known but I'll give it a try! A man is sitting on a chair listening to the radio when all of the sudden he gets up turns off the radio, turn on the light and goes to his room. There he grabs a gun and shoots himself. Why did he do it ?(crazy sicko) Edited March 29, 2007 by Guest
Farin Posted March 29, 2007 Report Posted March 29, 2007 Hi Thanatos! (is that Greek?) Welcome to Songfacts! about your question: did he hear something on the radio that was devestating enough for him to shoot himself?
miamisammy29 Posted March 29, 2007 Report Posted March 29, 2007 about your question: did he hear something on the radio that was devestating enough for him to shoot himself? Yeah, like maybe a Phil Collins song?
Levis Posted March 29, 2007 Report Posted March 29, 2007 okay... I'm thinking the shooting is with a camera. And the light turned on, has something to do with a darkroom. But where do the radio and the gun come from? I am also likely to be completely wrong
