Riddles

[StrandedonEarth]

^This. I'm a Canadian, but a West Coaster, and I had never heard of IF day. At least the 'Batman' riddle of last October was more widely known, if still a cultural thing.

[Findthepin1]

[Xannari Ferrows]

Sweet! I was totally guessing there.

Let's see... rustling through papers

We got cryptic, casual, corny, comedic... Yeah, let's go cryptic. Eh... Medium? Hard would be ridiculous. Medium difficulty it is!

Walked over, stepped upon,

But my value is greater than this...

I long for the embrace of tight arms,

Even if they're cold and lifeless...

Woah! Words, calm down! Jesus...

a street?

[cantab]

A gravestone?

[Robotengineer]

A graveyard? or a graveyard plot?

[Red Iron Crown]

A diamond?

[Xannari Ferrows]

a street?

Come now, I wouldn't make it that easy.

A gravestone?

No fruit.

A graveyard? or a graveyard plot?

Bigger tree, but still no fruit.

A diamond?

You can smell the fruit.

​God I need to learn to say yes and no outright...

No, it's not gonna be super specific, just to get that out right now.

[Red Iron Crown]

Hmm, a root?

[Xannari Ferrows]

I think I overdid it with the trees...

Clever thinking, but the fruit truck is moving away now.

​Dude! A simple no would've sufficed!

[Robotengineer]

Carrot? Potato?

[cantab]

A gemstone? A precious metal?

[Xannari Ferrows]

Carrot? Potato?

Nope-e and nope-a

A gemstone? A precious metal?

Gemstones for the win! Your move.

[DMSP]

Alright, let's see what happens.

[cantab]

Whoops, I missed Xannari's post before. I'll see if I can come up with something quickly.

[cantab]

OK then, a real quickie:

What stays stuck on one place yet can travel around the world?

[Red Iron Crown]

Ouch at "gemstone" being considered correct and "diamond" being considered incorrect.

Cantab: A stamp.

[cantab]

Correct! That riddle sure didn't stick around.

[Red Iron Crown]

It's an old one, I'd heard it before.

New riddle:

A holder, container

A bearer of hope

Sometimes fragile

Sometimes immortal

My neck is a metaphor

But also quite tangible

Sometimes I'm made

From forces invisible

Found solo or together

I can take to the skies

Sometimes I'm used

Right in front of your eyes.

I can never tell if I'm too obvious or too obscure, we'll see how this one goes.

[TheMoonRover]

I gave up on the war-related riddle weeks ago. If Day? If what? Never heard of it.

Hmm, let's start obvious: A bottle?

[Red Iron Crown]

Hmm, let's start obvious: A bottle?

Guess I was too obvious, that's correct. You're up!

[TheMoonRover]

I'm not feeling particularly imaginative right now, so here's a simple one-liner for you:

What grows down as it grows up?

[cantab]

Roots? An icicle?

[Starwhip]

Vines?

[TheMoonRover]

None of those grow up, exactly. Or at least, not the way I meant.
