-T
 
Great job, Tieran! I t'ought dhat was dhe hardest one of 'em.

As for you, mon frere...I had nye t'ought of dhat. So "don't you think you have had enough to drink" is one of t'ree possible correct answers. :D
 
Ahhh but you nevah said truthful, you say "honestly", an' if dey say yes dey was lyin', den dey bein dishonest, n'ya?
 
Are you dead?

-T
 
Dhere we go! Dhe ot'er answer being "are you asleep". Good, Tieran.

Two more to go:

There was a green house. Inside the green house there was a white house. Inside the white house there was a red house. Inside the red house there were lots of babies. What is it?

and

Four of us are in your field
But our differences keep us at yield
First, a one that is no fool
Though he resembles a gardener's tool
Next, one difficult to split in two
And a girl once had one as big as her shoe
Then, to the mind, one's a lovely bonder
And truancy makes it grow fonder
Last, a stem connecting dots of three
Knowing all this, what are we?

Good luck!

Before any changes I'm a garlic or spice. My first is altered and I'm a hand-warming device. My second is changed and I'm trees in full bloom. The next letter change makes a deathly old tomb. Change the fourth to make a fruit of the vine. Change the last for a chart plotted with lines. What was I? What did I become? What did I turn out to be?


What question can you never honestly answer yes to?

and one more, because for some reason I t'ink riddles should come in groups of four:

Four of us are in your field
But our differences keep us at yield
First, a one that is no fool
Though he resembles a gardener's tool
Next, one difficult to split in two
And a girl once had one as big as her shoe
Then, to the mind, one's a lovely bonder

First one is a watermelon.
 
The Four Suits
 
Very good! The last four suits of a deck of playing cards.

More riddles anyone? Let's see if I can make a trickier batch!

I give you a group of three. One is sitting down, and will never get up. The second eats as much as is given to him, yet is always hungry. The third goes away and never returns.

I drive men mad
For love of me,
Easily beaten,
Never free.

Glittering points
That downward thrust,
Sparkling spears
That never rust

And one more:

What does man love more than life
Fear more than death or mortal strife
What the poor have, the rich require,
and what contented men desire,
What the miser spends and the spendthrift saves
And all men carry to their graves?

GO!
 
The last is nothing.
 
The first two then are the following:

The first is a triumverate that has banished the chill from our homes on many a night, a wood burning stove, the fire inside it, and the smoke that it creates.

The second is gold.
 
Anot'er batch!

Two in a corner,
1 in a room,
0 in a house, but 1 in a shelter. What am I?

What happens when you throw a yellow rock into a purple stream?

You saw me where I never was and where I could not be. And yet within that very place, my face you often see. What am I?

One by one we fall from above
down into the depths of past
And our world is ever upturned
so that yet some time we'll last

the first is a mirror and the 2nd is the sand in a hour glass..
