Edgar Allen Poe wrote on both

I also heard this, admittedly I got it from a book but I still think it's valid.

1.A murderer is condemned to death. He has to choose between three rooms. The first is full of raging fires, the second is full of assassins with loaded guns, and the third is full of lions that haven't eaten in 3 years. Which room is safest for him?

2.I have two arms, but fingers none. I have two feet, but cannot run. I carry well, but I have found I carry best with my feet off the ground. What am I?

3.You are in a place called Jack's world and there is only one law. There is a mirror, but no reflection. There is pizza with cheese, but not sausage. There is pepper, but no salt. There is a door, yet no entrance or exit. What is the law?

4.The following number is the only one of its kind: 8,549,176,320. Can you figure out what is so special about it?

1. lions dont live after not eating for three years

The man who made it does not want it
The man who buys it does not need it.
The man who needs it does not know it.

What is it?

isn't that a riddler quote?
Infact there is a few riddler quotes.
Awesome

 

[Akalistos]

How much dirt is in a hole 4 feet deep
and 2 feet wide?

Really slow considering that Cuba is on a island.

 

[Mariakitten]

A old man is dying and he has three sons, he splits his money evenly between the sons and says, "who ever can fill my entire room with something will be the son I leave my estate too". the first son went out and bought as much hay and he could buy, but it would only fill up about half the room. The second son went out and bought as much rice as he could, but it only filled 2/3s of the room. Finally the third son goes out and buys only two things that will both fit in his pocket and returns home. He filled the room and inherited his dying fathers estate, with money to spare. What did he buy?

Spoiler

{A candle and match, he filled the room with light!}

"What walks on four legs in the morning, two at noon and three at night?"

"That's simple, a man. A man as a baby crawls on four legs, walks on two and when he needs a cane walks on three."

"So close, but wrong. The answer to all three is a baby. You see, it begins as a baby with four legs, then you rip on two of its legs where is wiggles around, then if you tie a cane to one of its stumps it can hobble around a bit."

"That's horrible, how could you joke like that?"

"Simple, madam, it's not my baby."

Cookie for anyone who gets the reference.

So you drop a tennis ball down a hole. The hole is too deep and oddly shaped to reach your hand in through to get it, the the ground is too hard to dig, and the ball is almost three feet down. What five letter word do you use to get the ball?

Here's one that I made myself. It was originally intended to be a puzzle poem but ultimately became a straight-up riddle.

To warmth, I am the frozen blight
And I am evil to all good;
I am darkness to the light
And barren waste to grass and wood.

I'm what makes the rich turn poor;
I'm what makes the cup run dry;
I'm the source of every war
And what makes the living die.

Know that I am everywhere,
Oppressive as a tyrant's fist;
Know too that I am nowhere,
For technically I don't exist.

What am I?

The stuff about wars and the rich is making me think of either Time or Greed, although both are probably wrong.

Nope and nope.

Change?

Quite beautifully written, by the way.

Nope and thanks.

is it god or possibly fear

Incorrect on both counts.

The answer is not:
- Time
- Greed
- Change
- God
- Fear

Money?

That's a damn good riddle...

I just can't work it out. Anything I think of is immediately discounted by another sentence.

They were great

So you drop a tennis ball down a hole. The hole is too deep and oddly shaped to reach your hand in through to get it, the the ground is too hard to dig, and the ball is almost three feet down. What five letter word do you use to get the ball?

"Accio"?

As in the Harry Potter spell?

Well first a promise is a promise:

And second, no to the second riddle, it's not a Harry Potter spell.

Hint: this was a puzzle in the first Professor Layton game.

A frog fell into a hole that was 14 1/2 feet deep. He could jump 3 feet, but he slid back a foot each time he jumped. How many jumps does it take him to get out of the hole?

 

[alxhrmn]

i have a dead cat and a live one, but only one cat. who am I?

This will be spelled wrong but Schrodinger.

well its not and its right, not really a riddle though as much as an obscure reference.

also someone at least try these two i posted earlier (yes this does sound desperate for attention)

1. four men are standing in a straight line, all are facing the same direction parallel to the line they stand in, they can only look straight ahead, they cannot talk to each other, two men have black top hats and the other two have white top hats, the fourth and last person in the line is separated by a massive concrete wall so no one can see him, they are being held captive until one of them can determine the colour of his hat. how do they escape.

2. youre in a COMPLETELY SEALED room, there are no openings or flaws in the wall (think metre thick walls of gold). you have a table and a mirror, how do you escape? (by the way there is light)

2. Angle the mirror so that the table is reflected in it. You then looked in the mirror and saw the table - in half. Two halves make a whole, you jump through the hole and you're out of the room.

Something like that It's a play on words, I know, but I can't remember the precise answer.

Edit: Damn, already been answered. My explanation is better though..

And I am evil to all good;

I'm the source of every war
And what makes the living die.

Money?

That is incorrect.

Thanks. Yeah, this poem is meant to be hard. I don't think anybody has ever guessed it, seeing as how the answer is deeply engrained into my personal mentality.

I'll give one last hint before I finally reveal the answer:

Every single sentence is meant literally.

 

[Spoonius]

Yeah, that's what I thought. That's why it's so damn hard.

The most annoying line of all though is:

For technically I don't exist.

That drives me mad as hell. It's even worse now that I know you're being literal and not figurative. That one line instantly voids any of the answers I was going to give...

Riddle Me this riddle me that

Alas, the answer is technically what you just said... the void of anything; or to rephrase it more clearly, absence.

To warmth, I am the frozen blight - Cold is the absence of heat.
And I am evil to all good; - Evil is the absence of good.
I am darkness to the light - Darkness is the absence of light.
And barren waste to grass and wood. - The absence of organic life.

I'm what makes the rich turn poor; - Absence of wealth
I'm what makes the cup run dry; - Absence of content
I'm the source of every war - Variable, depending on the war... absence of understanding, wealth, hope, etc.
And what makes the living die. - Death is the absence of life.

Know that I am everywhere,
Oppressive as a tyrant's fist; - The void of space
Know too that I am nowhere,
For technically I don't exist. - Absence is technically nothing.

 

[Spoonius]

I was going to say "loss", but I thought it sounded corny.

Nice riddle though, the best-written one I've seen in a while.

Thanks. I'm quite happy with how well it turned out, especially given it's difficulty.
