To make it more interesting, these idiots bring a hungry tiger from somewhere and place it beneath the tree and they leave. Now, the candle will slowly burn the rope, you will fall and the tiger will make you his dinner. How will you save yourself?

Come back tomorrow for the answer.

Sing happy birthday... d(^_^d )

You are correct! After the song ends, the tiger will blow out the candle and you'll be saved. But then you'll have to figure out how to get yourself down!

Here's a new riddle:

One night, a man and his wife were driving to a certain place. All of a sudden the car stopped. The man realized that he would need to pour some cold water into the carburetor. He asked his wife to sit inside the car and lock the doors, while he goes searching for the water. After sometime, when the man returns, he finds this wife dead in a pool of blood. Besides her, there was a stranger with no clothes on his body. Who was the stranger and how did his wife die?

And if multiple people answer because they're all posting at the same time, the first one to post is the riddle we answer next, and the other riddles are left until someone revives them in anther answer.

What? That same description applies to every possible rearrangement of the digits in that number which has 0 at the end. Oh kitten. This is why you don't try guess riddles while playing DUST.

Vyzion Eyri The Southern Legion 154	Posted - 2013.02.14 00:34:00 - [5] - Quote I assume it looks sort of like a pulley, with the weight being you. So if you reached for the other end of the rope, the side attached to the nail on the ground, and pulled it down, you'd pull yourself up, right? So just do that until you reach the branch that the rope is slung over, and you can escape along the branches. If you're a true #yoloswag dumbass, you could perhaps use the rope to fashion a lasso and try strangle the tiger, skin it for its pelt using the nail, the use the candle wax to mould a mask for yourself, and walk up to the tribe of barbarians that tried to kill you with a candle wax mask and a tiger pelt draped over your shoulder and make them worship you.

Obviously the misdirection with the door locking, blood and stranger was working an I thought she had been assaulted and raped, but which rapist takes all their clothes off? Committing a crime in a birthday suit... And then it hit me. Pregnant wife. She had given birth in the car. Stranger was their child. To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if the man burnt the car and walked back home with his baby. I don't know how you could drive in that thing after that.

Give a reason. No, because by the time the truck is halfway across it would have used enough fuel to drop its weight allowing the bird to land safely You are CORRECT! Aw c'mon.

Each cat had 7 kittens. Kitten, cats, sacks, wives. How many were going to St. Ives? Just you. Reason 1: The riddle does not specify the man and his wives/sacks/cats and kittens going anywhere. Reason 2: The character who has created the riddle is on some of that good stuff, because this scenario is fairly rare to come by.

It feels like it's half. Anyway, let me try. activate stream of consciousness: a rhyme, poem, song which is mystical, magically structured. special properties. celestial sprites 'make clear', synonym for elucidate. Celestial, stars. moon. all my own? my as in me? me... as in I? reader or audience? narrator or reader? perhaps the narrator cannot relate to it? wait... relate to it. Cannot relate to it as hard as we may try. a rhyme excelling in mystic force and magic spelling. Sir. In. Celestial. All. Sica. interesting. rhythm. sir, i bear a rhyme excelling. in mystic force and magic spelling. celestial sprites elucidate, all my own striving can't relate. stars? hope? or is it a phrase? a rhyming phrase... 'sticks and stones'.... a poem? the answer could be itself. a riddle? death? life? excelling, spelling elucidate, relate rhyming couplets, shakespearian. mouth or tongue. celestial sprites definitely seem to be the stars, maybe moons. what do the stars make clear? the darkness? sight? maybe planets. planets elucidate life? maybe we're meant to end the riddle? "Such is the time we take for granted, Wasted, gone, the poem is haunted." Okay that's creepy. lets take a different route. mayhaps the second line is the key. "mystic force and magic spelling". is the rhyme self-conscious? is it referring to itself? is there some trickery within the wording? hmm. all i notice is that the first letter of each line spells Sica, but thats DUST tank. no, no. this seems to describe shakespeare, i noticed. the rhyming couplets, but also its actual meaning. his plays bore mystic force and magic spelling; macbeth? romeo and juliet, star-crossed lovers, "celestial sprites", and the inability to relate despite how hard we strive... king henry iv? and i give up. but i wont search the answer yet. maybe we get a clue. :D
