Ok, anyone know Einstein's riddle? Well I stumbled upon it on the net and it was said only 2% of the world's population can solve it.
OK, good news is that I must be in the top 2% of the world's population.
Bad news is that it took me forever to finish this.
Good news is that I don't think anyone else has finished it yet, so I'm not that slow.
Bad news is that I don't know that anyone else tried.
Good news is that I know who owned the fish.
Bad news is that I don't want to spoil the surprise for everyone else by telling.
Good news is that logic puzzles are fun, so have at it.
Bad news is that this is the toughest one I've ever done.
Good news is that it's summer, so you've got plenty of time :)
I finished it three days ago in fifteen minutes

I have a riddle:

Hot as fire, soft as water
bright as the sun, dark as the moon.


Can you guess what it is?

Im glad all that paper didnt go to waste... now here's one for you.

When liquid splashes me, none seeps through. When I am moved alot, liquid I spew. When I am hit, color I change. And color, I come in quite a range. What I cover is very complex, and I am very easy to flex. What am I?

Sorry: By "bright as the sun" I mean physical brightness, and by "dark as the moon" I mean that it is dangerous and can cause severe tragedy.

And even though the moon is bright, it comes out at night and only reflects light from the sun.  So I can call it dark, right?

Here ya go :)

I have millions of eyes, yet I live in darkness. I have millions of ears, yet only four lobes. I have no muscles, yet I rule two hemispheres. What am I?

+10 point to whoever guesses where I got this :P

The answer is The Human Brain

Match wits with the Riddler. Batman the Animated series Episode, If you are so smart, why aren't you rich? First episode with E. Nygma Becoming the Riddler.


My riddle (Here is a good one for you pol.)

A king decided to let a prisoner try to escape the prison with his life. The king placed 2 marbles in a jar that was glued to a table. One of the marbles was supposed to be black, and one was supposed to be blue.

If the prisoner could pick the blue marble, he would escape the prison with his life. If he picked the black marble, he would be executed. However, the king was very mean, and he wickedly placed 2 black marbles in the jars and no blue marbles. The prisoner witnessed the king only putting 2 black marbles in the jars.

If the jar was not see-through and the jar was glued to the table and the table was bolted to the floor and that the prisoner was mute so he could not say anything, how did he escape with his life?

It could be lava... Lava is hot, I guess it could be soft, and lava tends to be bright from heat. It is very dangerous too. Am I right?

Did he pull out both marbles?

He pulled out a marble and ate it then he looked at the other one since it was black the one he picked must have been blue

He could have choked on the marble, so he escaped while losing his life.
