Non Math Riddles
 

Lets start with easy. (may progress into some simple math)

Something unusual happened in 1978, on the 6th of May, 34 minutes past noon, what was it?

Elvis died?

Just a guess. I have no idea otherwise.

nah.

Did Elvis LEAVE the building?
I'm limited in my foreign matters, I never met Elvis :(

Cmon that is an easy one.

Hell whoever answers the most of my riddles correctly in the next 24 hours will get 100.00 worth of www.fantasycontent.com content (excluding plug ins, exclusive, and resale material).

12:34 on 5/6/78

12345678 = 12:34 on 5/6/78

Taly will accept, roly correct as well.

I'm stuck in the "noon" definition. That's around 18.00 or

Lil2rich was born?

I fixed it when I re-read the question. Sorry about that.

THAT WAS NOT EASY :1orglaugh

The Defence Planning Committee of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization met in Ministerial Session in Brussels.


and at that moment the time could be written 12345678

it was 12:34 AM

That question over (rule being for contest answers after I state one correct will not be counted for total)

Ok easy one for you queer.
What is unusual about the following words:[list=a][*]Bough[*]Cough[*]Dough[*]Rough[*]Through[/list=a]

:eek7

Wha..?

Krosh your in, since you posted that before my contest rule, so that counts for you.

though they have the same end-spelling, NONE of them rhyme.

they all end in "ough" but don't rhyme. gotta go to sleep now though

Sorry clarification.

After I post on here that someone has answered a given question, all answeres to that question that come after that post will not count toward the total correctly answered riddles for the contest.

Make sense or do I need to translate my brain more?

tala, roly correct.

Give two reasons why a manhole cover is round?

Something about the weird phonology of English - words spelt the same and sounding different (rough, though and cough) and words spelt differently but that sound the same

A square cover you can tip up on edge and drop through the hole on the diagonal, if you follow me. Similarly with ovals. A circular hole, however, will defy the most determined efforts in this regard. (Bear in mind that there's a lip around the inside of the manhole that the cover rests on; this effectively makes the diameter of the manhole an inch or so less than that of the cover.) This means manholes are one of the few things in the universe that are absolutely goofproof.

Until they make better goofs, that is. :thumbsup

That is one reason.
They will not fall through.
Need second reason.

If the red house is built of red bricks, and the blue house is built of blue bricks, what is the green house built of?

glass. waiting on second reason.

To ensure a tightly sealed fit. Additionally, the manufacture of circular manhole covers is easier and more accurate than the manufacture of covers of any other shape. Lastly, round manhole covers, once removed, require less lifting and less manpower, as their shape allows them to be rolled.

krosh got it.

The maker doen't want it, the buyer doesn't use it, and the user doesn't see it, what is it?

Have I gotten to difficult to fast?

Homonyms as we English call them :-)

Hell if this thread goes on far enough to win something the contest winner can have that as well. I do not want it or need it.

sorry eating dinner...LOL

a coffin

it's a coffin.... or a urn.

krosh, DJRCyberAVS got it.

Which one of the following words does not belong with the others and why?
[list=a][*]Father[*]Aunt[*]Sister[*]Cousin[*]Mother[*]Uncle[/list=a]

Cousin because all the other define a 'sex'.

DJRCyberAVS correct

sorry. Roommate came in with a kitten she almost ran over, maybe 8 ws old and so sweet. Gotta find him a home.

How would you rearrange the letters in the words new door to make one word?

*Please note there is only one correct answer.

Good job it wasn't in England or that answer would not be correct

one word....

good grief.........................................

DJRCyberAVS

;) Ai!

I bet you do pub quizzes :)

Sometimes :) Been a few years since a decent cash win though.

While reading a story of an axe murderer. Jane fell asleep and dreamt she was being chased through the some apartments and the murderer caught her and swung the axe. Just as the murderers axe was swung, jane ran into a room, shut the door and touched her neck to awaken her. The shock was so great she died instantly.

Is there anything wrong with this story? (typos, punctuation, and grammer do not count).
