| Here are the rules: -In order to post a riddle, you have to solve the previous one. -You can only ask yes/no questions -Once 20 posts have gone by without a correct answer, the poster wins and gets to post a new riddle. -NO FRIGGIN GOOGLE! -Hints are optional
I'll start it off.
2 men are found dead in a cabin the middle of the forest. What happened, and why is this odd?
HINT: Think about various interpretations of words in the first sentence.

| They were air plane pilots. They forgot to turn auto-pilot on and they crash landed into the forest! Complete the sentence. "What happens on vacation ___________ on vacation." | |

"What town did you come from?" I was referencing attempting to determine the answer to the riddle. IE, you could ask, "Was the cabin an actual house?" but not, "what kind of cabin was it?" | |

| Seems like this thread is going nowhere.
The yes/no questions are meant to be asked for clues which lead you to the riddle's answer. Anything else should be clear if you read through the rules.
Isn't it? ( ・_・) | |

| Kid won't answer so I will.
Here's a clearer explanation:
The game is similar to 20 questions, just instead of thinking about an object, you are trying to figure out what the riddle is.
When he says "You can only ask yes/no questions", he means you can only ask questions about what the riddle's answer is, and the question must be a yes or no question, it can't be anything specific.
For example, the "What happens on vacation, ______ on vacation" riddle must be answered. Someone asks "Is the answer something that moves?". The riddle presenter will say "no" or "yes". Let's say the riddle presenter answers no. So then someone guesses "Is it, 'What happens on vacation, stays on vacation'?". If the riddle is correct, then the person who got the riddle right can ask the next riddle.
I hope this clears up confusion ^^ | |

| - Here's one for ya:
I'm a riddle in nine syllables. An elephant, a ponderous house, A melon strolling on two tendrils. O red fruit, ivory, fine timbers! This loaf's big with its yeasty rising. Money's new-minted in this fat purse. I'm a means, a stage, a cow in calf. I've eaten a bag of green apples, Boarded the train there's no getting off.

| Aw, shoot, forgot about this thread. Thanks, Astral-san. New riddle, NO GOOGLE, NEKO!
A man is found dead in the desert, surrounded by 53 bicycles. What happened?
Ninja'd!
Sylvia Plath is one of my favorites, I'd kinda like to see how this plays out.

| This was Gollum's riddle in JRR Tolkien's The Hobbit, wasn't it? I remember it, but I don't remember the answer.
Very well. Does it have a physical manifestation (ie, is it tangible?) | |
