That was fun.

"Angry and Hungry are two words that end in GRY, there are three words in The English Language, what is the third word?"

If not for my failure at Maths, I'd've been #1. Just seeing numbers threw me a bit... :P

 

[Scarim Coral]

Bah that was easy! Well ok it a few moments for my brain to figure out the correct answers but hey I'm currently rank 34 at this moment in time!

The black and white one doesn't really translate well to text... That's my excuse at least for getting only 9 my first time. Fun quiz.

Not sure if I screwed up the last one or the "black and white". Oh well, best score from a Quiz so far!

 

[WMDogma]

They should have did it so there was no quiz at all.

But that'd be too obvious a practical joke, eh?

 

[That One Six]

Oh, that last one about "letters three, add two more" was about half my time on its own. Dammit. I wanted to be in first for once, but instead get 17th. BEHOLD MY SADFACE. D=

However, I am apparently a trickster god, so I guess it all works out in the end.

 

[SomebodyNowhere]

I got sam and max and I'm quite fine with that.

 

[Lizardon]

"What's black and white and red/read all over" kind of fails when it's written down since it's based on a homophone.

Other than that it was a fun quiz. Shame that I had heard them all before so I didn't actually solve them, which is the best part of riddles.

And since it was an April fools quiz, I was worried that either the correct answers to the riddles would be wrong, or none of the answers were right.

 

[Redd the Sock]

Got Loki

Man, you can carbon date those jokes.

 

[Gingernerd]

I wondered if the joke would be that you'd get 100% or first place no matter what. I liked the few/fewer one, at least there were a couple i'd not heard.

 

[Ne1butme]

The black and white one doesn't really translate well to text... That's my excuse at least for getting only 9 my first time.

Same here. I was even thinking about that joke a couple days ago and while it's clever saying out loud, it doesn't work in print. Or if you do try it in print, spell the word correctly.

 

[AngryMongoose]

26th? Dammit! I blame my connection >.>

I should point out: Loki was actually the god of being a dick.

 

[Kahani]

"What's black and white and red/read all over" kind of fails when it's written down since it's based on a homophone.

The only answer I've ever heard to that one is a sunburned penguin, but since that wasn't an option I assumed the zebra was some strange American variation. I didn't even realise there was supposed to be a riddle there.

 

[Owlslayer]

Well, i took my sweet, sweet time doing this one, and actually got 100%. I´m quite glad, tho it was rather easy. The only one i had to think about, and initially selected the wrong one (i answered a few questions after that, then went back and decided to select the right-ish answer), was the one black-white, red one. I decided to take the most non-silly answer. Still, i don`t get it...

Well I got about 7/10 on this quiz from mostly guessing so I guess I did pretty good. :D
