Wow, “Betrayal of Kondor” now that brings back some long forgotten memories. Do you guys remember “Eye of the Beholder” or “Dungeon Master”?

LIVED is to DEVIL as DOG is to…

Three men check in at a Hotel. The they rent a room for $30, paying $10 each. They receive their keys and head up to their room. The clerk quickly realizes that he forgot to give them the $5 discount for the special the hotel is running that week. He gives a bellboy $5 with the instructions that he return it to the men. The Bellboy decides to keep $2 for himself, and only returns $3 to the gentlemen. The men split the three dollars so that they each only spent $9 each, as opposed to the original $10.
The men only spent $9 each, and 9x3=27, and the bellboy has $2. $27+$2=$29. What happened to the 30th dollar?

The bell boy’s $2.00 has nothing to do with how much the three men spent. The math should be as follows:

The men spent $10 each and recieved $1 back for the discount, making it as if they spent $9 each. (3 x 9 = 27) + (3 x 1 = 3) = $30. The bell boy left $2 dollars richer because he did not divide the $2 up between the men.

Yay! I win!

Atleast tell me that it took you awhile to figure out… :cry:

I’ll admit that I started to draw it out on paper, but before I got anywhere, it just kind of popped out at me. Good riddle though!

i figured it was some obscure state tax scheme to steal money from hotels. :evilfun:

LIVED is to DEVIL as DOG is to GOD :slight_smile:

Had to look at that one a few times before I figured it out…

  1. When I go in I might cause pain. I cause you to spit and ask you not to swallow. I can fill your hole.
    What am I?

  2. A finger goes in me. You fiddle with me when you’re bored. The best man always has me first.
    What am I?

  3. I’m spread before I’m eaten. Your tongue gets me off. People sometimes lick my nuts.
    What am I?

  4. I go in hard. I come out soft. You blow me hard.
    What am I?

  5. All day long, it’s in and out. I discharge loads from my shaft. Both men and women go down on me.
    What am I?

  6. I come in many sizes. When I’m not well, I drip. When you blow me, you feel good.
    What am I?

  7. If I miss, I hit your bush. It’s my job to stuff your box. When I come,it’s news.
    What am I?

  8. I offer protection. I get the finger ten times. You use your fingers to get me off.
    What am I?

  9. I assist an erection. Sometimes big balls hang from me. I’m called a big swinger.
    What am I?

  10. This useful tool, commonly found in the range of 6 inches long. The functioning of which is enjoyed by members of both sexes, is usually found
    hung, dangling loosely, ready for instant action. It boasts of a clump of little hairy things at one end and a small hole at the other.
    In use, it is quickly inserted, almost always willingly, some-times slowly. sometimes quickly, into a warm, fleshy, moist opening where it is thrust in and drawn out again and again many times in succession, often quickly and
    accompanied by squirming bodily movements. Anyone found listening in willmost surely recognise the rhythmic, pulsing sound, resulting from the well
    lubricated movements.

When finally withdrawn, it leaves behind a juicy, frothy, sticky whitesubstance, some of which will need cleaning from the outer surfaces of the opening and some from its long glistening shaft. After everything is done
and the flowing and cleansing liquids have ceased emanating, it is returned to its freely hanging state of rest, ready for yet another bit of action,
hopefully reaching its bristling climax twice or three times a day, but often much less.
What is it?

Brillant jedi_pocky! i’ll never think the same as toothbrushes again! cute, very cute… lol:

Truth is, that what I say here is a lie

From http://www.riddlenut.com

There is a seven-letter word in the English language that contains ten words without rearranging any of its letters." What is the word?

I don’t advocate trying to go and find it on the site, since there are literally hundreds and hundreds of riddles. I provided the url for the site in case some riddle lover comes upon this post and is interested in more riddles then this thread provides.

Have fun…

Blast you Gadfly! This riddle is driving me nuts! However, I think I may have the answer; is the word “numbers”? Numbers is a 7 letter word that contains the words 0-9, or ten words. This only works however if you only count the root numbers (0-9) and not the numbers they can create if put together. If I am right, I want some sort of prize. If I’m not, GIVE ME THE FLIPPIN’ ANSWER! Please… :slight_smile:

gadfly, your riddle drove me nuts. once i realized that the riddle was really just a straight forward question, i had to sit down for about an hour to figure it out…

the, there, he, in, rein, her, here, ere, therein, herein

therein

(i got really frustrated for a moment when i forgot to count the word itself :laughing: )

I need to warn ILP.com, I am known as John B. Smooh aka The Riddler. For about nine weeks straight I sent out an email entitled, “Smooths Riddle of the Day.” On Friday’s I sent out the Riddle of the Week. I’m not good at solving them, but I sure love the hell out of them.

The warning I’m giving you is that Mr. Obscure_Reality was the champion for a straight month, for most riddles solved! Don’t hate me if this has been said already :

Hey, I have one.

I’m not sure if this has been posted yet, but I’ll go ahead with it.

You have two men and they are each others uncles. Man A’s nephew is Man B. And Man B’s nephew is Man A! How is that possible.

plus anybody that frequents the riddle thread in XXI Affiliates isn’t allowed to answer! I know who you are, Obscure!
