Riddles.

1. Forwards, I'm heavy. Backwards, I'm not. What am I?

 

2.What's the best place to go shopping on the ocean?

 

3.One snowy night, Sherlock Holmes was in his house sitting by a fire. All of a sudden a snowball came crashing through his window, breaking it. 

Holmes got up and looked out the window just in time to see three neighborhood kids who were brothers run around a corner. Their names were John Crimson, Mark Crimson and Paul Crimson.
The next day Holmes got a note on his door that read '? Crimson. He broke your window.
Which of the three Crimson brothers should Sherlock Holmes question about the incident?

Good luck to all.

I know #2 and it's more of a pun/joke. Not gonna say so I don't ruin it for others.

[Anti 1307]

Know the Sherlock one, read a lot of books containing riddles like those in elementary school

Anyways, a riddle that few of you will understand the reference to:

If you aim to give us a shot then we'll riddle you

Hint: It's multiple choice and there's no B or C ;)

Mark Crimson

 

What stays in a corner but goes all around the world?

[Sentrex 785]

aaah I see,? Crimson = question mark Crimson

[QueNNch 241]

Yeah I think we should keep all posts related to the riddles in first page of this thread in spoilers

About #3:

I also guessed Mark Crimson just because his name is the only one which is a dictionary word. So it could make sense with something :P

Good logic Sentrex^^ never thought of that.

 

Guess for #2.What's the best place to go shopping on the ocean?

A ship? Because there you get no shipping costs/free shipping ? XD

hey 

How did you come up with "ton" ? Doesn't make sense to me :P (non native english speaker :<)

So pls explain it a lil bit :]

So pls explain it a lil bit :]

ton = ~1000kg = ½braxi = heavy

ton backwards = not

:sir:

Forwards it's spelled 'ton' as is a unit a measurement (very heavy).

Backwards it's spelled 'not' which is why said "backwards I'm >>not<< ".

 

Not sure, but that would be my guess? Correct me if I'm wrong!

Nice job Echo

[DeadEcho 225]

Thanks Pulse.

 

QueNNch, Bearxi and Sentrex is already wrote what I would write :-)

 

 

About the #3 im my opinion it is pretty obvious, that the solution is what Sentrex already wrote, I really dont know how it is not correct. :blink:

[QueNNch 241]

This thread was fun.

[DeadEcho 225]

Yea, we need more riddles ^^

[Cat 290]

Here we go, I have one.

 

A man is lying face down in a field, with nothing but a backpack. There is nothing around him, and the man is dead. How did he die?

 

You may ask any questions you'd like, as long as as it is a yes/no question. 

[DeadEcho 225]

was there parachute in his backpack?

^^

[Sentrex 785]

Oh, that's clever!

[Cat 290]

Dammit Echo. >_<

 

But yes, there was a parachute in his backpack and it didn't open, he died falling out of an airplane while skydiving.

A monkey has a quest to climb a tree that is 20m tall, everyday he managed to climb the tree 3m and goes back 2m. How many days did it take the monkey to reach the top of the tree?
