Here's a new one. I guessed 'bad luck' and was wrong.


I'm as small as an ant, as big as a whale. I'll approach like a breeeze, but can come like a gale. By some I get hit, but all have shown fear. I'll dance to the music, though I can't hear. Of names I have many, of names I have one. I'm as slow as a snail, but from me you can't run. What am I?

Here's a good one. I couldn't figure this one out, but it doesn't seem all that hard, so maybe I'm just stupid.


A king has a daugther. Two princes fell in love with her so the king decided to test them. The king said they should have a race, the slower horse will win.

They decided to consult a genius so he may help them with their problem.During the race each tried to reach the finish line as fast as he could. What did the genius say?

One rode on a seahorse? If the participants are horses themselves then I think I just blew my own mind!

The princes are human. I see what you're saying though.
Sidd
10-11-2007, 11:11 AM
the riddle didnt say what the slowest horse would win. so maybe winning is loosing and loosing is winning?

Of the Genius was in love with the princess as well and he wanted both princes to loose so he could have her to his self
Sims

The genius is an old man so to say that each prince tried to reach the finish line as fast as HE could with HE refrencing the genius, who is and old man. Being an old man, the genius couldn't finish very quickly so the princes are trying to carry themselves in the same manner.


OR... the genius said she has a penis and neither pince wants her.

What is greater then God?
More evil then the devil?
poor people have it
rich people want it
and you eat it you will die

The brain.

It was an episode of "Batman: The Animated Series" which introduced Edward Nygma aka The Riddler. In this version, he invented a successful computer game called "Riddle of the Minotaur", but the company fired him rather than pay him for his work.

Can I put those in a Sidd bank, with an interest rate, to protect my assets?

I knew that one, I used to watch a lot of Batman in the olden days (when he was still on TV with reruns)

I'd heard this one a while ago, though I think it was worded a bit differently and was a bit more complex. I believe it went something like this:

"Upon reaching the Age of Maturity, the King's daughter was to be wed to an honorable Prince. A message was sent accross the lands and two noble prince's answered the summons.

Upon meeting with the Princes, the King declaired that both were indeed noble and worthy of his daughter's love, but alas he could not choose which prince would take his daughter's hand.

At last he arrived at an answer, and summoned the princes to his side. "As I cannot choose between, I set upon you this challenge. Each prince must make his horse to race for my daughter's hand. The prince's horse who is the slower will be declaired the winner, and the winner of my daughter's love".

Bewildered by this challenge, each prince was consumed with grief, for if they started this race, it would be to lose? And how was one to win without starting the race?

After several days of pondering this challenge in frustration, they sought the advice of a wise, old man whose gift was knowledge and logic. After consulting this man of wisdom, the two proud prices were later seen racing around the castle wall as fast as they could.

What did the wise man say to them?"

Okay, so if you were able to get through that, here's what he told them.

"Young princes, if what you tell me of the King's words are true, then the answer is simple. You must trade your horses, and ride the horse of the other. Only this way may your challenge be accomplished"

And with that, the princes mount their rival's steed, and set off to the king.

The End.

I paraphrased it based on Banker's original riddle question and the somewhat vague memory I have of the riddle, so I did the best I could in putting together something logical.

Essentially, the King told the prices that the price's horse that was slowest would win his daughter's hand. So the ownership of the horse itself became the qualifier of victory, not the rider. Since the princes exchanged horses, each riding the other's, they obviously wanted their own horse to win, which was being ridden by their rival, etc, etc. So by riding their rival's horse faster than their own, they would ensure that their own horse would be the slower one and lose the race, thus winning the king's daughter's hand.

Maybe that makes more sense?

Darkstar out.

Darkstar

Well, you wouldn't want some doushbaggian prince to wed your daughter would you? lol. I guess the king issued the challenge to test their will and basic problem solving abilities? That is a tough riddle though if you're not in the right mindset. Where did you find it btw?
