Anybody up for a riddle?

[Dan]

Edit.


Deleted my previous post from last night
Still PP's rhyming riddle is out of sight.
If you have the guts to answer it true
You'll have four gallons to bring to your crew.

 

[Hang Glider]

At rhyming I suck, I'll tell you true
but the answer's not hard if you think it through

fill the three to the top and pour into the fiver
fill the three again, and top off the five.
Now dump the five and fill with the remainder in the three
then fill the three once more and pour into the five - you'll have your four

now - if someone want's to put that into a rhyme...

If so, what doesn't it need if it is at sea?

Food, fresh water, and bouyancy
Three true necessities i do see
Plus clothes, a boat, and some fuel
With out all these you'd be a fool
So what would not be needed here?
A car, a truck, or a John Deer![emoji12]

Those things needed by you and me
But not our friend if he's a Z.

In fairness though
Your answer does show
The silly twist
That Z needs not when the boat lists

On my way to St. Ives
I saw a man with seven wives.
Each wife had seven sacks.
Each sack had seven cats.
Each cat had seven kittens.
Kitten, cats, sacks, wives.
How many were going to St. Ives ?

Kittens: 2401
Cats:343
Sacks:49
wives: 7

or, is only the narrator going to St. Ives?

man=1
wives=7
mama cats=49
kittens=343
Without counting sacks=400 are going to St. Ives.
If you count the sacks, 449.

At riddles I suck, but my answers, with luck, reflect the true number of each. At two conclusions I've arrived, for this man and his wives, so I ask you: "Ain't that a peach?"


One hump have I, think you know what I am? I can toss a man quite high. I look rather mean, but I'm more than I seem, to some I'm a holy ride. Two gates there are and one do I keep, the other keeps me in my place. Care to compete? I'm the one to beat, in a brief little eight second race.

That's a good one. The answer is a bull.

Hasn't anyone seen the third Die Hard movie?

Samuel L. Jackson trying to figure out the same riddle "Shut the %^#! Up, McClane! I'm good at this &@%!"

 

[gratus fermentatio]

That's a good one. The answer is a bull.

Well, technically it's a Brahma bull, but close enough I guess. It was the 8 second bit that gave it away wasn't it?

[jimmer]

I was going to St. Ives. Just I. The man was hanging around drinking beer.

 

[Dan]

42

 

[cannman]

42

TAG you're it!

I think that riddle has a generation gap...

 

[PlexVector]

At least that's what my first thought was before I used the bar code scanner, and then did the math. 42 came up three times so it had to be right...

Edit: make that 4 variations on 42, the globe has 42 countries faced.

The answer is always 42, but I don't get the point of the image.

 

[PlexVector]

What is full of holes but can still hold wort?

 

[MrFancyPlants]

A kettle with a false bottom?

 

[PlexVector]

I guess that could be an answer...but there is a more precise solution.

 

[jbb3]

Kittens: 2401
Cats:343
Sacks:49
wives: 7

Covering all the bases aren't you!? I think you need to choose one answer...

It was a version of the riddle found on certain editions of Douglas Adam's Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. (Actually, I thought it appeared on a later book in the series but I can no longer find that data...)

I read all the series years ago, so this must be something relatively new. At least for me. I found several of the books back when my daughter was in grade school. She had a project were she was to count all the books in our home. I was surprised that we had over 700 books! Of course this included a couple of boxes of old scifi paperbacks in the attic.

Cool. Thanks for letting me know!

A sponge? or maybe a human?
