Furygun81 Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Alrighty, here we go again. Basically post riddles in here. When you post, you do as many of these as you wish: a) Pose a riddle b) Answer an unanswered riddle, no matter how many posts back, just quote the original post c) Answer a riddle that has an answer that you believe may be wrong, (answer a riddle that's answer hasn't been confirmed) I've always been fascinated with riddles, the way they're just simple questions, and the answer is usually simple, but it taxes your brain, and stretches the sinews of your knowledge to their limit. Sometimes, nobody, even the asker, can solve the riddle. Astonishing, how many people can't answer one. When the answer is revealed, no matter how later you ask them that riddle, they will get it right. They may remember being told it before, but sometimes they won't and when they think they're using their knowledge, their subconscious is simply nudging the answer forwards to the brain, from when the answer was revealed. Me and my friends are holding a riddle tournament, the person able to answer the most riddles fastest after being asked from a referee type person wins. I guess I'll start. Riddle me this, there are three men sitting in a boat, and they have four cigarettes. They have no matches. How do they manage to smoke? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xortberg Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 I'm not gonna answer, since I cheated and Googled the answer. I'm just popping in to say I think the old topic was rather unfairly locked, as Furygun here was only dredging to avoid making a duplicate topic. Water under the bridge now, since it's happened and all, just felt like throwing my two cents in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asper Sarnoff Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 I'm not gonna answer, since I cheated and Googled the answer.

Water under the bridge now, since it's happened and all, just felt like throwing my two cents in. And you're right too. We have a two months dredge limit, but usually chose to overlook minor infractions if we can avoid duplicates. I'd close this one and unlock the older one, but there's really no point in that now. So go ahead Fury. And ur a cheatin' git Xort.:trollface: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furygun81 Posted November 10, 2011 Author Share Posted November 10, 2011 Huh okay. I don't really mind, but creating this one just seems like a waste since there's another topic. So back on topic, anybody know the answer without googling it? Hint: It's one of the Riddler's Riddles so the answer is likely to be rather cheesy :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to cheat, and im very bad at this ^^; so i can only assume the wood from the boat and the fourth cigarette is going to play a part Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furygun81 Posted November 11, 2011 Author Share Posted November 11, 2011 Well the word lighter is used, and as we all know the word lighter has two meanings. And then there's that extra cigarette... Give up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vy'drach Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 I know the answer, but only due to google long ago, as that line plays quite the prominent role in the Scooter song "And No Matches" so I will refrain from answering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRedFox8 Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Well, big deal. They have no matches. That doesn't mean they have other sources of fire such as lighters, flamethrowers, pyrotechnics, etc. So I say they pull out a lighter. Or maybe the cigarettes are already lit. I dunno, we need more information. I have one: If you're driving along the desert in your boat and the wheels fall off, how many flapjacks does it take to jack up your house?

Furygun81 Posted November 11, 2011 Author Share Posted November 11, 2011 Well the answer is: They throw one cigarette overboard and make the boat a cigarette lighter. Yep. If you're driving along the desert in your boat and the wheels fall off, how many flapjacks does it take to jack up your house? Well first of all how can you drive along the desert in a boat? And flapjacks? I thought that that was a food. So here's another one: The more you take away the larger it grows. What is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
