Yes! That is close enough. The traditional answer is "A goose has two legs, but no goose has more than two legs." You still win though, so go ahead.Panzervaughn said:
Wow. That's some lateral thinking going on there... Thanks for the excellent riddle!The Thinker said:
I hereby revive this thread! And seeing as nothing's happened in a while, I'm butting in front of Panzervaughn.
Which came first, the chicken or the egg? Explain your reasoning. (now I feel like a grade school math teacher >_>)
There are two answers I will accept. Hint: they're not "the chicken" and "the egg"

Alright, if it's not "the chicken" and not "the egg", I must ask you a question. Is the answer a binary response?Aiedail256 said:
The answer to your riddle is "yes".
You're very subtly misinterpreting my hint. And by binary, do you mean one of two that are opposites? For example, "up" and "down" would be possibilities, but "watermelon" and "grape" wouldn't? If so, no.The Thinker said:
By "a binary response" I meant "either 'yes' or 'no'", but I was trying to say it in a way that would confuse the other riddlers. In hindsight, kind of stupid. Sorry.Aiedail256 said:
Hmm... alphabetically, and in reference to your question, "the chicken" comes first, but in reality the egg came first. However, assuming your "hint" wasn't just a way of repeating "explain your answer", neither of those are correct, depleting my stash of answers. I must ponder this further...
Depends who asks the question. In your case, "the chicken" came before "the egg" in the sentence, so in fact you answer your own riddle. Now stop cracking yolks and ask us a properly fowl riddle.
I hereby re-revive this thread...
What is greater than God,
More evil than the devil,
Poor people have it,
Rich people need it,
And people who eat it die?

Alright, I'll be more specific: of the chicken and the egg, which came first?The Thinker said:
I say this because of the theory of evolution. Chickens are birds, and birds are descended from Dinousaurs. However, in this respect, it would probably be more realistic to say the (dinosaur) egg came first.
