It is cold and it is hot
It is white and it is dark
It is stone and it is wax
Its true nature is of flesh
And its colour is red.

If you know the answer straight away becuase youve heard it before, give others who havent a chance to try it...

And if you don't know the answer and want to work it out, don't read the other posts (though chances are you will have). We've had that one loads of times.

It's been awhile since anyone has posted a good, (semi)original riddle. So I thought I would. I was playing a video game (that will remain nameless for now, I don't want to give to many hints) and I found these riddles. If you want to try your luck, go ahead.

What clings to you?
Bear itâ€”you cannot.
Accept itâ€”you cannot.
But hiddenâ€”it is from you.
Recite its name

and here's the other

Though equally it exists before everyone's eyes,
grasp it not one person can.
Tell meâ€”what is it?

GOOD LUCK

Posting .hack riddles is cheating. They have no logical answer.

First one: Don't know. Second one: Air.

They have answers that are logical and meaningful. Plus, I didn't know you liked .Hack. I'm currently trying to complete the Epitaph of Twilight.

They have no logical answer. Open for interpretation.

idk about the others but I have two for you..

RIDDLE ME THIS:
I am that which is hunted, and this panes me.
Do you dig, Stone?
What am I?

and

What can run but never walks,
has a mouth but never talks,
has a head but never weeps,
has a bed but never sleeps?

Your second one, Amithyst, im guessing a river.
The other one ill need to think on...

Post by **vampirehunter42** » Thu Aug 28, 2008 10:31 pm

You are right on the 2nd one.

The first is a little more tricky. The answer is Quarry.

From Merriam-Webster.
one that is sought or pursued. (Hunted)
a diamond-shaped pane of glass, stone, or tile.
to dig or take from or as if from a quarry.

I guess that means I need to add one.

Six blind men are brought up to an object. Each is allowed to touch a single part, and then asked what they think the object is.

The first said it was a wall.
The second said it was a snake.
The third said it was a spear.
The fourth said it was a tree.
The fifth said it was a fan.
And the sixth said it was a rope.

What was it?

The one who never forgets: The elephant!

Never sleeps, never eats, but breathes on.
Half in darkness, half in light,
but the treasure it holds needs the light.
What is it?

Could be better, but I'm a little busy right now...

@Jishdefish: Would that be the Earth? That's the best I could come up with at the moment. =[

Here is one someone gave me a few days ago [on one of my other sites] and I have not been able to figure it out for the life of me. Maybe you guys can figure it out, though it is more of a brain teaser than an actual riddle. Here goes...

Why are these letters and numbers separated by a line?

YAY4zz
-- ------
yahB6bg

and

My first is a creature whose breeding is unclear.
My second, a price you must pay to stay.
My whole can be found in the river of Time and refers to events of today.
What am I?

Last one: Light. First one: Pressure?

Yes, the earth.

I am colored all the hues of the rainbow. I come long, I come short, I come thick, I come thin. I devour sheep yet be still not satistfied. When I rest, I am often coiled. What am I?

Current.

This one I'm not sure was intended as a riddle, but a lot of people thus far have interpreted it as one:

I've been around the world.
I've seen a million things.
I've fought in countless wars,
And dined with many kings.

I've seen the Northern Lights.
I've counted all the stars.
Been in'n'out of Saturn's Rings,
And started life on Mars.

I'm fluent in every language.
I've tasted each cuisine.
I've stayed in every place,
And lived what people dream.

I was there when it began,
And I know when it will end.
My only enemy is man,
Yet you are still my dearest friend.

I invented evolution.
I gave you your first breath.
I was there at your conception,
And I'll be there at the time of death.

Sounds like God.

Or, if you're into Pantheism, Nature.

i prefer time, but the possibilities of that being the real answer is quite slim.

Thats a shadow.

That riddle is hard, It sounds like it should be God, but it cant be, I was going to say "Air/Oxygen", but that doesnt really make sense.
"Time" is a good answer but would man be times enemy?
Hangon, I know what it is, well this is my guess... Its knowledge? (education/intelligence/logic/)

Made this one up myself

By light of sun, made light of moon,
Reflected in a darkened room,
In shiny basin, color gray,
Ban me forever, gone away.

What am I?
