Riddles! Does anyone
Riddles! Does anyone have some good ones? I'm on this other site where they were telling riddles, and so I decided that we could do it on here too! Here's one:
Alice and Emily are twin sisters, but Alice is thirteen and Emily is three. How can this be?
If you need a hint, ask me because I have one!

I think the first one is a coin.
I think the second is the candle, because you can then use it to light the others.
I think the third one is Everer.
I think the fourth one is too tricky to answer without a clue. Sorry :(

I think I know the answer to TNO's (umlaut). Is it only one, because the guy just met the people/cats while going to St. Ives?
Adina, is it some kind of shape?

Ooh I LOVE riddles! heres one...
A man is exploring a strange island. He knows that only two types of creatures live there, the Bibbits, who tell only the truth, and Bobbits, who tell only lies. Bibbits and Bobbits always travel in twos, a Bibbit with a Bobbit, never more, never less, and never with their own kind. In appearance, though, Bibbits and Bobbits are identical.
Soon the man gets lost, wanders around, and comes to a road. He follows it until it splits, and at the fork are two inhabitants of the island. (one Bibbit, one Bobbit, but which is which?) He wants to get back to his boat, on the east side of the island. And he knows that, by island custom, he can only ask the pair one question total. But he will either get the true answer or the false answer. What one question does he ask?
I love this one. If you know the answer don't give it away!

Ack! I think that's a different version of mine! So I know the answer (methinks)!! :):D:)

I know that one! ONE person was going to St. Ives. The man and his wives and her sacks and the cats and the kittens were all going in a different direction. Good one! :)

Only one, because you met the people on the road as you were going to St. Ives, so that means that they are going the other way.

Does anyone have another guess on mine? :)
(May 23, 2009 - 7:22 am)
Oh! Oh! I know! They're not sisters! They have different twins! :):D:) Good one, Lena! :):D:)
(May 24, 2009 - 12:08 pm)
Nope! That's what my dad thought also, but no. They're sisters.

Hint, please!
Here's a fun one (I just invented it!)
I am dark as a sillouette
I can be there
Behind or in front
And sometimes both
Large and small
I change thoughout the day
Any hardly come out at night
My dark is important to me
Yet my without my light
I die
What am I?
This one's one my geography teacher told me:
The maker doesn't use it
The buyer doesn't use it
The user mever sees it
What is it?
This one stumped my whole geography class!!!

I know the first one! A shadow!

Adina and Aliza are correct.
Shel Silverstein adapted riddle (don't look at the original poem!):
If this is what the carrot said to the wheat?
"Lettuce rest, I'm feeling beet"
And this is what the paper said to the pen?
"I feel all right, my friend."
Than what did the teapot say to the chalk?
Other riddles:
I am cofusing,
Annoying, amusing.
I rhyme
Yet I am silent all the time.
You've never met me before.
I can never get sore,
Or broken or cold
Yet many friend of mine are old.
Who
Am
I?
