pamela Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 hey William, i think Freeztar nailed Reason's riddle with clocks you seem to have become overzealous with these riddles-Karnuvap's is gonna get lost in the shuffle-how about posting one at a time until solved, this will make it easier for every one to see and not be confusing;) Karnuvap* "what goes up a chimney downbut can't come down a chimey up" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karnuvap Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 Hi there, Sorry to disappoint. The answer is neither Smoke nor Santa Clause. Ahh! the joys of the English Language and its ability to be understood with words missing. For example in the above I could have said "With some of the words missing" but the shorter form is just as correct. This is what is in play in my riddle. If you guys haven't heard that one before then surely you must have heard this one. It is, after all, the riddle of the Sphinx. What walks on four legs in the morning, two legs in the day and three legs in the evening? Please tell me you have heard this one before. Karnuvap - but, please, call me Karnie.

pamela Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 okay, so the only left outstanding then is Williams second riddle " I was a great leaderI fathered 267 childrenI claimed victory on a war that was a drawI received a virgin when this war was declared a drawMany statues and writings on walls in my country" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modest Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 Thanks Modest. Had you heard it before or did you work it out? I know this is going to sound like B.S., but I'm not sure if I've heard it or not. It seemed familiar and the answer more or less came right to me, but I'm not sure. The Sphinx riddle I had heard. It's a good one for sure :evil: ~modest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modest Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 To William's last riddle, I'd guess the answer is Ramesses because he famously had a bunch of children and led a military campaign that I'm quite sure he decidedly declared himself victorious. ~modest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
