Riddle me this!
#1Welcome - This thread is a small competition, where I will ask a riddle and the first who answers the riddle correctly will get a point. These points are... well.. pointless, but are simply to show how adept or quick you are at answering riddles.
Question one:
Whoever makes it doesnt want it
Whoever buys it doesnt need it
Whoever needs it doesnt know it.
If its to hard or if no-one's answered after a while I may give hints. There may be a couple possible answers to a riddle, but I will only accept the one I have in mind. -
Riddle me this!
#2Well, it is a coffin.

---- #10 Special, lateral thinking question ----
In the center of the room lies a dead man. Rays come through an open window. On the floor, lies a pile of gold, and a chandelier is attached to the ceiling.
What occupation/pastime did the man have, and how did he die?
------------------------------------------------- -
Riddle me this!
#22The man was a treasure diver on a shipwreck who ran out of air. The rays are manta rays (or sting rays). Strolen got most of it. Joint effort, with S-man taking most of the credit. -
Riddle me this!
#23Excellent - with the special question having a point-mark of three, two will go to Strolen, and one to Ria.
>>>>>>>
The man was a treasure hunter, who dived into a shipwreck to search for treasure. Unfortunately he forgot to check his air supply and thusly ran out when he was at the bottom, drowning.

Pronounced as one letter,
And written with three,
Two letters there are,
And two only in me.

And the same either way.
