Hmm...Stapler seems obvious...
I'm kinda leaning towards a constricting snake... Say, A Boa?

Wait...Didn't he already say that it wasn't a snake?

*Facepalm*

hmmm... i find it very intersting you posted your train of thought enegma, almost like your trying to prove you thought of the answer insted of just googleing it ;P but neverteless, a stapler is the correct answer.


this is a classic, so youll probably guess it quickly, but its one of my favorites.


You are in a room thats slowly filling with poisionous gas. there are two doors leading out of the room. One leasd to freedom, the other to agonizing death. There are also two men in the room. one only says the truth, the other only tells lies, but you dont know which says which. They know which door leads to freedom. you may only ask one of the men one question. what do you ask?

I have underestimated myself because I have just spent 2 hours fixing my computer (which I shouldn’t have done because I need to revise test tomorrow uh zzz).
But anyway to the point the answer to the post of my last riddle is Aspirin, sprain, Paris, rasp, asp, as, a. I hope you all got it right.

And i will post soon with the next few riddles because i missed a few days.

I did google the riddle after I had thought it though, but it didn't come up, so I'm prosuming its one you have thrown together.

I have heard this one before, its a classic as you say, and the answer is.....I can't remember at the moment :P

Think I have it, and I was sitting on my bed putting my socks on while running through various ways of asking a question to one that would get the same answer from both :P

You don't know who is which but they do, that is the key. You have to ask them, not what they would choose, but what the other would choose. So you say to one

"which door would the other one choose to get to safety"

If you asked the truthful one, he, knowing the other would lie, would tell you the other one would choose the door that leads to death.

If you ask the liar, he knows the other one would tell you the correct door, but being a liar he has to say the opposite, he would then lie and tell you the opposite door that would lead to your death.

So they would both tell you which door not to go through. The other door then is the safe door.

The stapler isn't if you slowly go through it word by word, knowing some words are false positives meant to throw you off. Like pointy fangs, fangs makes you immediately jump to something living. But pointy is the clue. Binding is another, strange word to use in this context, but something we do in the office from time to time. Binding and stapling copies together. Lifeless victim was another, thinking about it you begin to wonder if the victim was lifeless prior to being pierced. We were also told the answer is obvious, and that snakes etc were way way off.

This last one, you run through a list of questions on the door, then think through other ways of asking about the door, eventually you ask what the other would choose. Any other questions not focused on the door only means you have to ask a second question which you can't do.

A few classic riddles for you:

A box without hinges, key, or lid, yet golden treasure inside is hid. What am I?

Mice are famous for their ability to multiply at breakneck speeds. The type of mouse we have here gives birth once a month, birthing 12 babies each time. Baby mice mature and can give birth two months after they are born. You picked up one of these cute baby mice at the pet shop and brought it home the day after it was born. In 10 months from now, how many mice will you have?

Good luck!

[EnigmaNZ]

Scratch the first 2 months so 12 x 12 x 12 x 12 x 12 x 12 x 12 x 12 = 429981696 + 1 = 429981697

Na, you only took one mouse home. Unless it got pregnant prior to leaving the store, its gonna stay a virgin lol, so you still have the original 1, unless the cat got it, in which case you have a happy cat and no mouse.

1 mouse.

That was easy. The box is in the too hard basket for now.

Is it an egg? Although it Isn't a box there is a yolk inside and it's gold...
