Push me down, And I'll jump back,
I'm the first one of the quartet.
I have three children of my own,
After them, I'm departed.
You might go higher after all,
if I'm under your feet.
In few weeks, again, it's fall,
After first, we meet.

What am I?

PaperLuigi · « **Reply #1 on:** June 07, 2007, 07:34:11 PM »

Uh......Spring?

Raccoon Sam · « **Reply #2 on:** June 07, 2007, 07:35:06 PM »

A winner is you.
But you could've used spoiler tags you know :(

Have you got any riddles? :3

PaperLuigi · « **Reply #3 on:** June 07, 2007, 07:37:31 PM »

Hm.........I'll have to think of one. (Sorry I didn't use the tag). :P

EDIT: Here's one:

A man was found murdered one Sunday morning.

His wife immediately called the police.

The police questioned the wife and staff and was given these alibis:
The Wife said she was in bed reading a book.
The Cook claimed she cooking breakfast.
The Gardener claimed he was planting seeds.
The Maid claimed she was getting the mail.
The Butler claimed he polishing the silver.

The police instantly arrested the murdered. Who did it and how did they know?

(This topic rules, btw)

Raccoon Sam · « **Reply #4 on:** June 07, 2007, 07:51:01 PM »

Ooh. That's a tough one.
Can't figure it out :{

SushieBoy · « **Reply #5 on:** June 07, 2007, 07:54:53 PM »

It could be the maid, since mail doesn't come in on sunday in most places.

Do I win?

Well, he was found Sunday morning, which leaves a possibility that he could've been killed Saturday night.
But that makes no sense and is quite unlikely. Great job!

DeadAwake · « **Reply #7 on:** June 07, 2007, 10:21:01 PM »

No, I've got it: The husband ate the mail, and that's what made the maid kill him--to take the mail back.

A winner is you! Good job Sushie!

BTW Sam, the riddle says that he was found murdered on Sunday. I guess I should have said that the riddle rules out any other date. Sorry. X(

So I guess it's SB's turn.

Raccoon Sam · « **Reply #9 on:** June 08, 2007, 10:08:57 AM »

Yeah, it's ok.
Here's another:

What does a poor man have that the richest man wants?
What does a brave man fear that a coward confrontates with ease?
Hint: If you eat or drink it, you die.

NintendoExpert89 · « **Reply #10 on:** June 08, 2007, 11:20:57 AM »

The answer's nothing. I've heard a variation of that riddle before:

What is greater than God,
More evil than the devil,
The poor have it,
The rich need it,
and if you eat it you die?

I told it to my sister once and her first (jokingly) guess was "disease".

SushieBoy · « **Reply #11 on:** June 08, 2007, 01:02:56 PM »

Guys, It was my turn >:(

As you look into me, you see a reflection.
I'm alot of peoples best friend.
Not alot of people have me.
My man made form is almost as good as me.

What am I?

There really aren't "turns" here, but I agree, I was a bit rude going and making up a new riddle.

And I can't figure that one out either :(

Something greater than God? Gee, I dunno................

Hint?

Suffix · « **Reply #14 on:** June 08, 2007, 09:22:07 PM »

He said the answer at the beginning of that, "nothing." I don't quite understand how nothing could be gr------ OHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhh I get it.

PaperLuigi · « **Reply #15 on:** June 08, 2007, 10:12:13 PM »

Dang, that's a good one. I didn't even pay attention to the answer...........XD

Okay, I have two riddles now, one for those who may have a little bit of biblical knowledge, and another one for those who don't:

I killed one fourth of mankind. Who am I?

Which word is the odd one out:

First Second Third Forth Fifth Sixth Seventh Eighth?

...a mirror? If so, the first sentence pretty much gave it away. Or maybe a Mii...

SushieBoy · « **Reply #19 on:** June 09, 2007, 07:22:45 AM »

Nope, guess again, the first was to throw you off, the other lines can give a clue.

PaperLuigi · « **Reply #20 on:** June 09, 2007, 07:37:19 AM »

Is it money?

SushieBoy · « **Reply #21 on:** June 09, 2007, 07:40:25 AM »

Nope.

Clue: You need to mine a bit to find me.

PaperLuigi · « **Reply #22 on:** June 09, 2007, 08:12:48 AM »

Is it a diamond?

The Chef · « **Reply #23 on:** June 09, 2007, 08:51:22 AM »

Gold?

SushieBoy · « **Reply #24 on:** June 09, 2007, 09:08:08 AM »

Yes. It's a diamond. YOU WON! *party ball sudenly appears and explodes in a bunch of paper shreds* Sorry TC, try agian next time!

I'm disappointed how MEGABYTE's post went without notice.

Is it "forth" because you spelled it wrong?

PaperLuigi · « **Reply #26 on:** June 09, 2007, 01:45:16 PM »

Yup, that's it bobman! "Forth" is the oddman out because it's spelled wrong.

I noticed MB's post, I just haven't seen Lord of the Rings, so I don't get it.

MEGAß¥TE · « **Reply #27 on:** June 09, 2007, 09:16:42 PM »

Even if you did, you still wouldn't get it. Get off of here and read a book. Specifically, The Hobbit.

The Black Plague (or whatever it's called)?
Zombies?
Uh...Avril Lavigne?

Too late, I'm reading a mandatory Gulliver’s Travels.

BTW, was that Gollum post directed at one of us in any way?

Lizard Dude · « **Reply #30 on:** June 10, 2007, 04:09:13 PM »

No, he just put it because Gollum's initial appearance in The Hobbit is a riddle battle.

PaperLuigi · « **Reply #31 on:** June 10, 2007, 04:24:05 PM »

Ah-ha! I see.

Has anyone answered my 1st riddle yet?

What killed 1/4 of all mankind? (This is for people with a little biblical knowledge, btw)

SushieBoy · « **Reply #32 on:** June 10, 2007, 09:42:55 PM »

Uhh, mankind?

PaperLuigi · « **Reply #33 on:** June 11, 2007, 05:18:12 AM »

Nope, try again.

Jman · « **Reply #34 on:** June 11, 2007, 01:19:42 PM »

Are you talking about before the flood? I would hazard a guess that it's probably Cain, because he killed his brother, who was the son of Adam and Eve, who were the first two people. Unless you're referring to something else, in which case I just completely made a fool out of myself.

PaperLuigi · « **Reply #35 on:** June 11, 2007, 01:45:38 PM »

Cain is the correct answer!
