I am an Idiot (+ Mind Teaser)

Remove all ads!

Like Cyric realizing he wasn't the most powerful after having his true life read to him, I realize that I am not as omniscient as I thought when Wildfire's "mind teaser" STUPEFIED me Math Sucks... All we need is the pluses(+) and minuses(-) and timeses(x) and division(/). Anyways, like Vartain in Elfsong, I have 2 riddles and a question to help me bring my pride back up as well as stump you people (however if you read a lot of Fantasy you'll get it)
<ahem>
The Beginning of Eternity
The End of Time and Space
The Start of Every End
And the End of Every Place
<ok that's one, here's the next>
I turn my Head once, and you may go where you want
I turn it again and you stay till you rot
I have no face but I live or die
By my crooked teeth -- Who am I?
<and now for the question>
If a tree falls deep in the forest, and no one is there to hear it... does it still make a sound?

Ok you lugs, lets see you answer these...

 

The first one is 'E'

not to sure about the next one tho

 

The second one is obviously my boss.

If a tree falls in the woods and no one is around to hear it, does it still make a sound?

No! Trees do not make sounds! Whether anyone is there or not! Sound is created by the compression of particles in said substance (ie. air). This compression leads to the fluxtuation in pressure in the substance (ie. air). These fluxtuations resonate off your ear drum, sending nerve pulses through your brain (ie. air-head).

So, really, sound is defined by the individual hearing it. Sound cannot exist if no one can detect the changes in pressure through said substance. Although compression in the said substance still exists, sound cannot be defined.

The real question is:

If a man is in the middle of the woods, and there is no woman around, is he still wrong?

 

Sapiryl, that's GREAT!! lmao!!

and the answer to the real question:

Of Course!! duh...

 

Too funny Sairyl, lol. Men are always wrong, it is not our place to question, only to do. Heh, which leads me to another dilemna: "For the majority of weddings, why does the bride wear a 'white' dress?"
Answer me this one oh great wizard.

 

The bride wears white because it's the happiest day of her life.
Now, ask yourself why does the groom wear black?

 

Beats the heck out of me, I don't believe in weddings, and I'm still debating the merits of marriage...

 

Well I was thinking along more practical and aesthetic lines...

The bride wears white so that the dishwasher matches the fridge and stove.

Moeken heads for cover...

 

Truthfully? Traditionally, women wore white at weddings to show that their innocence and love was pure and that they were offering all that up to their husbands.

Men wore black to signify the solemness of the ceremony, and to attest to the fact that they were taking away their wife's innocence and purity.


Heh, maybe I'd better wear green or blue...

 

Hmm, "I have no face, but I live and die"
does that apply to a key? The rest sounds right. Do you use a die to cut a key? I'm still a bit stumped on that one.

 

I'm going with BTA on that one.

 

Oh man, this is SAD, within the first 12 posts all of them have been answered
Yes, number 1 is the letter "E", it's the same riddle used by the Green Dragon Grimnoshtadrano in Elfsong
As BTA guessed it, the 2nd IS a key. I got that one from "NeverWhere" by Neil Gaiman.
As for the question, hell I didn't know the answer myself, that's why I posted it
But Sapiryl had a pretty food answer
Gimme a couple of hours, I'll dig a couple more out Gotta make them harder.. hehe

 

I was walking through a forest once, and a tree fell right in front of me, but I didn't hear it...

 

You're deaf?
Awright folks, I got another one here in my mystical grimoire of arcane sorcery stuff.
I can see what you See not
Vision Milky then eyes rot
Then you see what cannot.... oops! wrong page, this is the rhyme I lent to blizzard for some obscure game called Diablo
Ah! Here it is...
I am something. I am nothing.
I am short. I am tall.
When you fall at your sport then I stumble and fall
I have never been seen yet beneath a new moon
I thrive in the evening and vanish at noon
I am lighter than air. I weigh less than a breath
Darkness destroys me and light is my death.

Ok guys, this time EXPLAIN or DEFEND your answer wouldn't want anyone to make a lucky guess would we

 

It's a shadow, and it's blatantly obvious...

You didn't explain
How are you sure it's a shadow?
Ir could... well, it could be... and...
air?
Oh alright, it's a shadow!
You guys are too sharp, I gotta think of something else, it's funny, no one in school ever got ANY of my riddles Til I find a new one, try this one. It's kinda easy but hard bec. it can be a lot of things. you gotta explain this one bec. it wont be "blatantly obvious"
What is everything to someone, but nothing to someone else?

 

Try this then.

The poor have it, the rich want it.
Greater than God, more evil than the devil.
If you eat it, you die.

What is it?

And please if you've heard it before, don't post the answer immediately to show off?

 

Oh, I know this one, the answer is.....

Actually, I think its part of BG2, if I'm not way too wrong.

Here comes another one. You have six matches, now make four equal sized triangles.
