when she "shoots" him, she is actually taking his photo.

but i think it's ChallengingGinny's turn..!!

Yeah thats right. Lets wait for CG to give us a good riddle

Ok, I was on a short vacation and am now back with internet access.

Here's my puzzle:

Let's say some primitive organisms divide themselves every minute in two equal parts that are the same size as the original organism, and which also divide the next minute and so on. The saucer in which we started observing this process was full at 12.00.
When was it half full?

CG

At 11.00h ?

Thats probably right but I can't find a way to solve it.

No, 11:00 is not correct.

Keep trying!

CG

My guess is that it was 11:59, because if it doubles every minute then it will only take one minute for half the dish to become full.

So yeah. 11:59

Oh! That's right! I've never thought of that before! Would be nice to see one of the blobs though. When I first read the problem I thought half of 12:00.

Ohh yeah. I though it said that it doubles every hour

Nymphadora Lupin got it!

CG

Get in there my son! hehe

Right, let me see ... This isn't that good, but I'll do it anyway, my dad just told me this one the other day.

100 feet up in the air, yet it never left the ground ... what happened?

Maybe an apartment? But it would be floor not ground.If you got sand in? Wait... an apartment isn't in the air.

Okay. I'm thinking that it's a dead centipede.

I have to agree with passerby. A dead centipede makes so much sense.

I'm thinking it's a centipede too, but maybe not dead, just flipped over?

Oh! That feet!It might not be dead though as Pottyhead said.
EDIT: Has anyone posted?

If we don't hear anything in a day, I'll assume I'm correct and will post another riddle.

Well. . .Maybe she'll come back and tell us if it was a centipede later. For now, I'll post a new riddle. Probably easy, but I'm not so creative with riddles.

While exploring the Forbidden Forest, Sirius Black was captured by hostile wood Nargles.

Smazze, the powerful chief of the Nargles told him he could make one final statement which would determine how he would die.

If the statement he made was false, he would be boiled in water.

If the statement were true, he would be fried in oil.

Sirius Black found neither of the options too his liking, so he made a statement that got him out of this seemingly impossible situation.

What was the statement?

"I will be boiled in water."
The sentence is a paradox.
Explanation:
If it's false that's the false result so it would be true.
If it's true that's the false result making it false.

Bravo!

Thanks. So here's a riddle:
A man shot himself. But then he was still alive. What really happened? I really hope you understand this riddle.

Maybe he's diabetic and has given himself an injection (shot) of insulin?

Or he shot a photo of himself.

Edit: I mean like he took a photo of himself, like a photo shoot, you get me? Not like he took a gun and shot a picture of himself

No and no. Think a little more creatively. And it was a gun. Well I think chhermione is kind of close
Another edit: Someone post.

He shot his reflection in the mirror?

well maybe he did shoot a picture of himself... i mean he had a photo of himself in his hand and then he shot it?

Almost! Just change a little. Your almost there. Change a very little bit... and a gun doesn't work as a camera.LOL

ok.... two other options...

a) he is an actor and he shot the TV when his face was on the screen?

or

he is an actor and he shot himself but there was no bullets in the gun... or something, and then they made it look like he shot himself... but he didn't actually..?

Erm, maybe he shot himself with a water gun of some kind?

I have no idea, sometimes I'm really bad with riddles. I think up really long, involved answers as to what it might be...and then it turns out to be amazingly simple.

Hmm wrong again go back to imtck's post. Change a word.
Wait! I just saw passerby's post. It's right.
passerby youre up

Prior to Cedric's untimely death, he took Cho Chang to her favorite date hang out, Madam Puddifoot's. Cho ordered a cup of the Ambrosia Special Tea, and Severus Snape (who was working there at the time because he was working there as a part of an experimental fanfiction) brought her a bit of tea. She noticed in between gazing at Cedric's beautiful eyes that there was a fly in her tea. She immediately beckoned Snape over and returned the tea to the kitchen. A moment later, Snape returns with more tea. Before Snape can return to the kitchen, Cho draws her wand on Snape. "This is the same cup of tea!" she complains. How did she know?

Um the fly was still in it? Or the designs on the cup were the same?

Hmm I already know this. Here's the answer. But someone else can post.
backward:
ti ni ragus emos tup ehS
I loved your fanfic!
And who's he?

I'm only going to give it to the person who supplies the whole answer. You've graciously supplied only a bit of the answer, but someone can probably work with it. Half cheating.

Who's who?

What do you mean by that? 'whos who'
OK here's my answer:
shed put sugar in the tea. then she tasted the second brought tea. it was sweet.

Yep.

Who's who?

I don't have a riddle, so passerby can probably post again. but cedric is dead so how could CC look in his eyes?

passerby said "prior to Cedric's untimely death..." So that's how, I'm thinking!

*sigh* Someone need to check out this thread As soon as possible. I want a riddle fast! And thanks Eisa.

Well, if you'd like, I could try to come up with a riddle just to like keep the thread moving...

Well heres a riddle
there are 6 people outside only five shadows what happened

Is one of them stood in shade so there wouldn't be a shadow?

Ooooh

Or siamese twins, so it's like 2 people but only one shadow?

Kelly

Well no but good answer. Think where the people were. I hope you get it!

Ok then there's a building - 5 people are on the right side, the other person is on the left side. The sun is shining from the RIGHT side so the 5 people have shadows. However, the person on the left side is still within the shadow of the building?

No they are on the same side. I meant be as in one side.

Maybe they are all standing on the same side, but the sun is shining towards the other way. So one person's shadow is in the shade!

Almost. It has to do with the sun and the shadow's location.

okay there could be several answers.

ones prego?

one is standing directly under the sun?

ones a ghost?

one's lying down? or dead?

i really dont know...

First I want to apologise for the '100 feet in the air' riddle in August ... I stupidly posted the day before I went to Italy and I had no internet access haha but yous got it right, a centipede was on its back

As for the shadow riddle, I'm thinking that four people were standing apart, then two standing together meaning 4 people had a shadow each, and the other 2 shared one. I dunno though


~Amy <3

They were standing in the shadow of the building...?

1 of them were standing in the shadow of the building and the other four weren't...? But they were all on one side...

if that makes sense
