Hey, my House of Questions fell so far back waaaay into Ironworks oblivion only Choc knows where they are LOL! And lately I've been getting into trivia and puzzles, etc., so thought to post some now and again here, and forget the House o' questions.
Anyway, I'm beginning with a set of riddles. I'll put the answers on later in a separate thread. [img]smile.gif[/img] 1) I am a word that means 'calling forth respect through age, character, and attainments.' My middle three letters make up a memorable or important date or event. What am I? 2) I am a word which means 'to go back to an original state.' Change my last letter to a vowel and you have a word which means 'to regard with deep respect.' What am I? 3) Remove my first six letters and and my last and you have a rodent. My last four letters are the amount or degree of a thing in relation to units of something else. I am a word which means 'disembowel.' What am I? 4) I am bubbling! My last five letters are an odor and my last four letters are a coin. What am I? 5) I'm huge! As a matter of fact, I'm over 25,000 feet tall. What am I? 6) I am a word which means 'to deduce or infer.' Remove my second letter and I am a force which compels. What am I? 7) I am the highest point. I am also the point of intersection of the two sides of an angle. Remove my first three letters and add two to the end and you have a state in the USA. What am I? 8) I am a word which means 'vigor and energy.' Change my first letter and add two and you have a word which means 'to turn aside from a straight line.' What am I? 9) I am a symptom of many sicknesses. Is it hot in here or is it just me? What am I? 10) I am the state of sadness caused by the death of someone close. My first two letters mean 'to exist.' What am I? 11) You won't solve me. Not at all. Not ever. What am I? 12) I am a premonition. My first five letters mean 'to make merry.' What am I? 13) I am a bar used to pry. Change my last letter to a vowel and you have a dam or embankment. What am I? 14) I am a fiber. When you feel pain, it's my fault. What am I? 15) I am a member of the clergy. My last three letters are a word meaning 'termination or closing.' What am I? EDIT: Yes, don't even ask, of course I am bored. So are you apparently cause you are reading this right now! Ha! [ 08-18-2003, 08:19 PM: Message edited by: ladyzekke ] |
