Spirits Reborn · 06-01-2008, 04:10 PM

Alright!

Its about time there's a riddle thread here. So basically I'll start the game and the person after me will answer the question. The person who gets it right- makes another one, and so forth.

Two people get it right? the person who got the post earlier (timewise) gets to pop the next question.

Since its online, its ridiculously easy to cheat. So please don't - it'll spoil all the fun. Be honest, have fun.

And lastly- Please - no easy ones!

Ohh, I'm sorry that I didn't follow the rules. Bungleau is indeed correct (it's hard to find "hard" riddles that aren't done in person with yes/no questions).

Spirits Reborn · 06-02-2008, 12:08 AM

Alright. Lets follow the rules from now all. So this is all the smoother. And there arn't any wasted posts, aye?

That was a great one by the way Illumina

Bungleau · 06-02-2008, 12:37 AM

I guess I didn't follow the rules either

Hmmm... seems that the rules could be challenging, with IW being up 24 hours per day. How about elaborate use of the spoil tag in responses?

Here's my riddle...

It lives without a body, hears without ears, speaks without a mouth and is born in air. What is it?

*edit* Sorry, Spirits. I'll PM you the answer.
