_Gryphon 0 Posted February 19, 2006 I am always there, even when you cannot see me, and I follow you where ever you go. You are smarter than me, stronger than me, and more durable than me, yet you can't outrun me or hide from me. What am I :?: Share this post Link to post
_Gryphon 0 Posted February 20, 2006 Yes, a shadow. A man corners you in a tavern and points a gun at you. he says that if you tell him a lie, he will shoot you in the head. If you tell him the truth, he will shoot you in the chest. If you tell him something that is not the truth, and is not a lie, he will shoot you in the stomach. What must you say to prevent him from shooting you? Share this post Link to post
_Gryphon 0 Posted February 20, 2006 Well, the way i wrote it, I guess you could. But I think that counts as neither truth nor lie, so you just got shot in the stomach. Share this post Link to post
Acerz492 1 Posted February 20, 2006 But you're not talking at all, so it dosen't really count. If that's not it, then I'm stumped. Share this post Link to post
_Gryphon 0 Posted February 20, 2006 Okay. I'll give it to you, but someone should try to figure out the real answer. I might post it later. Anyone have a riddle for me? Oh, and a hint to mine: If you have the game Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, buy the Yellow Book of Riddles at a book store. There is a riddle similar to mine in it. Share this post Link to post
F15pilotX 4 Posted February 20, 2006 The US flag is blue: its a truth and lie: it's part blue, but not all the way blue :wink: Share this post Link to post
_Gryphon 0 Posted February 20, 2006 uh...no my computer just freaked out, sorry about the double post Share this post Link to post
Cygnus X-1 12 Posted February 20, 2006 hmm You could tell him "There is no bullet in that gun" he looks to check, then BAM yes I know thats not it....lemme think here... "If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine...." Actually, He'll prob shoot you just ofr that, regardless of whether its truth or lie Share this post Link to post
F15pilotX 4 Posted February 20, 2006 Ten Minutes after Cygnus's death An ICBM comes into view with the words "I told you so" on it Criminal: ZOMG!!!!11 A missile!!!!!!!!!!! Accomplice: I TOLD YOU not to shoot him!!!!!!!!!!!! An explosion cuts their conversation short See? you were right Share this post Link to post
Gnu_dude 0 Posted February 20, 2006 Yes, a shadow. A man corners you in a tavern and points a gun at you. he says that if you tell him a lie, he will shoot you in the head. If you tell him the truth, he will shoot you in the chest. If you tell him something that is not the truth, and is not a lie, he will shoot you in the stomach. What must you say to prevent him from shooting you? ask him if he would like a drink.... It isnt the truth, it isnt a lie, and you are asking, not telling... true, no? geez, my riddle... still, no one knows...... Share this post Link to post
_Gryphon 0 Posted February 20, 2006 OMG you got that......wrong. Theoretically, it's possible, but it's still not the original answer to the riddle. I'll give you a hint. The answer has to do with what the man tells you, it's not some random thing you can say. Share this post Link to post
Gnu_dude 0 Posted February 20, 2006 Ahhhh...... even simpler! CALL 4 HELP!!!!! edit:- or you could ASK him why he wants to shoot u.... Share this post Link to post
_Gryphon 0 Posted February 20, 2006 Nice Try, but NO. THINK IT THROUGH WILL YOU. and how come nobody posts a riddle for me to solve? I'm bored Share this post Link to post

Guest Rabbit Posted February 20, 2006 I believe the answer to your riddle is to not say anything. Share this post Link to post
_Gryphon 0 Posted February 20, 2006 I believe the answer to your riddle is to not say anything. No it's not. I thought that too when i first saw it. I'll just give it to you guys.You say "You will shoot me in the head" because he would only do that if it were a lie, but doing so would make it true. So it would be neither. However, if he shoots you in the stomach, you would have lied, so he should have shot you in the head. It's a paradox. If you don't understand paradoxes, then don't ask me because they're really hard to explain. Share this post Link to post
F15pilotX 4 Posted February 20, 2006 I thought it would be something like that....of course hindsight is always perfect Share this post Link to post
