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;)

"what goes up a chimney down

but can't come down a chimey up"

[Karnuvap]

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]

hi Karnie,

the answer to your second riddle is of course the life of man

 

William answer to your 3rd riddle is Benjamin Franklin

[Karnuvap]

Thank goodness someone knew the riddle of the Sphinx.

 

Sorry not flames

 

Yes it's an Umbrella.

 

Thanks Modest. Had you heard it before or did you work it out?

 

Karnie.

[pamela]

okay, so the only left outstanding then is Williams second riddle

 

 

" I was a great leader

I fathered 267 children

I claimed victory on a war that was a draw

I received a virgin when this war was declared a draw

Many statues and writings on walls in my country"

[modest]

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]

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.
