Can you solve the following Riddle?

First think of the person who lives in disguise,
Who deals in secrets and tells naught but lies.
Next, tell me what's always the last thing to mend,
The middle of the middle and the end of the end?
And finally give me the sound often heard,
During the search for a hard-to-find word.
Now string them together, and answer me this,
Which creature would you be unwilling to kiss?

The Winners get the chance to see my favorate video that I created.

No worries if you dont get this one... New puzzles will be made later.

Won't somebody at least try?

Here's A Real Hard One!!!

A man was found dead in his study. He was slumped over his desk and a gun was in his hand. There was a cassette recorder on his desk. When the police entered the room and pressed the play button on the tape recorder they heard: "I can't go on. I have nothing to live for." Then there was the sound of a gunshot. How did the detective immediately know that the man had been murdered and it wasn't a suicide?


Good Luck!

Well, I'd say if the police officer had too TURN ON the recorder.. someone must have TURNED IT OFF before. And since a shot guy can't do that on his own, it probably was the murderer.

You aren't too far... Pay close attention to timing and when things happen.

The tape would have had to be rewound, the detective just pushed play without rewinding.

It is in the Hobbit, the answer is Wind

This is a rough translation of a medieval French riddle (I also learned this from a book - prizes for anyone who know which one!)

Three pears hanging high
Three Monks passing by
Each took one
Two were left
Why?

At first I thought it was a play on the word pear/pair... but that would leave three pears left.

My guesses

The second monk took the pair from the first monk and the third monk took the pear from the second.

Or, there were five pears in the tree to start with.




DiverseDesires

Quote from: Eduen Natali Minami on October 29, 2010, 12:06:59 PM
ok... I give.

The answer is that one of the monks is called "Each" so "Each" took one - not the other two - or in it's original language "Chaqun"

I know "Groan!"


OK - an oldie:

DiverseDesires, you'll probably get this in a tick. It's another one from The Hobbit.

First they champ
Then they stamp
Then they stand still

Yes, as you know I have read all The Hobbit riddles - so I'll leave others to guess at this one!

Two brothers we are,
great burdens we bear,
all day we are bitterly pressed.
Yet this I will say;
we are full all the day,
and empty when we go to rest.
You might say it's sexist to treat women like objects, so you can ogle their luscious rounded boobies and melt away between their smooth milky thighs as the sweat runs in rivulets from their writhing, sensuous body, but...sorry, I forgot where I was going with that.

You are a very confusing riddle! The only thing that I could think of is a jar lid, but that doesn't fit two fo the lines...

nopes not a jar lid, but a pretty shrewd guess just the same  :-)

I added 'be' to the end of the first line to make it a little more clear. Not sure it it helps a lot or not, but it is more accredit
