Yep, it's an ancient Greek riddle.

 

[primemover]

Wow, what a horrible riddle, way too philosophical to be any fun.

 

[Hotwire]

Yep, it's an ancient Greek riddle.

Actually, it's The Riddle of the Sphinx. And yes, the answer in a man. Crawling as a baby, walking as an adult, and using a cane as an elder.

I think Joseph and Mary heard that one..

A dude gets to heaven and see everyone is naked and at the age of 21. He see's a couple and automatically knows it's Adam and Eve. How did he know?

This is a good one. Makes you bang your head against the wall when you hear the answer and couldn't get it.

Yeah, The Riddle of the Sphinx from ancient Greece.

This makes me feel awkward.

 

[SouLeSS]

Yeah he did. It was pretty weird when I first heard it. My speech teacher asked it and I was like "uhh, they didn't have belly buttons" like right after she said it.

You are in the middle of a wide grasslands. coming at you from the east is a wildfire. It will take over where you are in an hour. There is not time to get out of the way or out run it. The only thing you have in your pocket is a cigarette lighter. How do you survive?

Clear a decently large path around you, light the patch of grass downwind from you, walk downwind after the fire you created, eventually you'll be safe.

Starting a fire!!!!.

Fire can't burn what isn't there, this is a tactic of forestry people, and was actually a tactic of Native Americans way back when.

check it!

What have I got in my pocket?

 

[Majik1387]

Something small.

 

[Halcohol]

The fire one isn't a riddle, it's just common sense...

 

[Zoken]

Fine then...

Paula, Tracy, John, and Steve are in a pub together. Tracy asks John to hold her hand. Tracy excuses herself to the bathroom. When Tracy comes back Paula and Steve acuse John of cheating. All four are single, so how is this true.

 

[November Rain]

They are playing a pub game of some sort like darts, or scrabble

close, think of some of the wording in there and how else it might be applied. More accurately, think creatively about times you've asked people to hold your hand.

They're playing a card game. Poker, probably. And John cheated because he looked at her hand which he was holding; her hand of cards.

damn me for not gambling.
