No problem! :grin:
Okay, here's a riddle:
The body of a dead man is lying in the middle of the desert. He is completely naked, there are clothes scattered on the ground all around him, and there's a short straw in his hand. What happened?
This one's kinda tricky…PLEASE feel free to ask yes-or-no questions about the setting and circumstances! You're not SUPPOSED to be able to get this one right off the bat - it's REALLY convoluted, and I may or may not be forgetting a certain bit… ;)
Well, he obviously drew straws with someone else, and this must've lead to his being left behind.
All I got so far :shrug:
A mirage happened, he took of his close to swim and sycked sand through the straw. Because of this he died of dehydration
The answer to riddle 59 is the fingers on your hand (I will hazard saying specifically the left, but I know the customs are different with wedding rings in some places)
Riddle 58(? The one with the mountain guides) the second guide is some kind of animal so they didnt understand the instructions?
I shall return later with answers for the rest
The drawing straws thing is right on, but the rest is off. Still, good start! :D
Lolnope!
Everypony, FEEL FREE TO ASK YES-OR-NO QUESTIONS ABOUT THE SETTING AND CIRCUMSTANCES! Seriously, you're not even SUPPOSED to be able to guess what happened right off the bat! :lol:
Is he in a real desert?
Are the clothes around him his?
Does it have to do with water?
Did he die by dehydration?
Is he dead for a long time(more then a week or so)?
He and his friend are in the desert, they pull straws who can go in the shelter (only place for one) and the other one must go in the sun naked?
For the man in the desert, I'd assume he and several others were in a plane and it began to go down because they were too heavy, They stripped off their clothes to remove any excess weight ( Hence the clothes being not just his) but when they saw that wasn't enough, They drew straws and that is how our unlucky friend here met his fate.
SO close! Close enough, I guess - it was a hot-air balloon, not an airplane. Have you heard this one before? :lol:
Okay, so new riddle: An archaeologist discovers a tomb, in which he finds a casket. He opens the casket and discovers two perfectly-preserved bodies. As soon as he sees them, he realizes he's made the discovery of the millennium: Adam and Eve. How did he know? (And to anypony whose minds might go there, no, the answer has NOTHING to do with the way the bodies may be POSITIONED. ;) )
They didnt have a bellybutton ;p
lol @Wandergirl108 guess echo got it already. anyway there are like 5 remaining a few pages back :giggle:
57: amanda
I have some answers for you Slowking
Riddle 55: "Detective Leong was involved in a murder investigation. In the suspect's house, the only thing found usefull was a passwordprotected computer.
Next to the computer there was a note with "She was ill" on it. based on that note they found the password.
What was the password?"
Terminal (?)
Riddle 56: "Given the word "STANDARD", remove 2 letters and add 3 digits tomake a logical sequence."
1ST 2ND 3RD
Riddle 59: "The first is needed to make quotes you see.
And it often sticks up when it's time for tea.
The second's biggest distinction is found.
Bearing the symbol of love that is bound.
The third should be biggest but that can depend.
Never standing alone or it may offend.
The fourth is often used when making a selection.
Or if you should need a gun for protection.
The fifth is the fattest and the oddest by far.
And can sometimes be found in a wrestling war.
What are they?"
Fingers
Wait lyra told me amanda was right...unless youre counting it wrong because of the reason y, then its because she was the first to blame someone else
I think I have the answer:
If Amanda is lying when she says " Melinda is his girlfriend", then it can be assumed that Eva is telling the truth. This means that Vanessa is also lying, making Melindas comment "Vanessa is not his sister." true. This means that Vanessa, being a liar and yet not the mans sister, would be his girlfriend.

You know what the bad thing is? I misread the riddle the first time and thought i had to find both sister and gf, the first answer i told lyra was amanda and vanessa
Can we have a hint for 60?
Well pm me a hint please. Ive looked at this thing an hour everyay since it was posted
i think i got it
she said something about rows of twenty right?
thats the hint i think..
because if you look at the second letters of the email , it spells heishere meaning he is here ?
is this the answer or just a coincidence.
otherwise i have no idea :shrug:
Ooh, that's clever! :grin: That would explain why the message was broken up like that. MY thought would have been to look at the FIRST letters, but the SECOND letters is a very well-hidden code, and it's fully coherent AND totally appropriate…I bet that's it! :grin:
…Actually, probably not, but only because @Slowking says no a LOT more than he says yes… :lol: (JK, that's probably it. ;) )
indeed, the original riddle was with rows of 10 but i thougth i'd put a hidden hint like that in it :shrug: also if you follow the story it's kinda odd that she doesn't want protection from this stalker. If you realise that you know that he must be there already and she didn't want to raise suspision with the stalker.
Curses! How is it i can beat a proffesor layton game in a day but cant solve your riddles?
