This game is quite simple, whoever guesses the riddle gets to post the next one. You only post a riddle if you guessed the previous one correctly before anyone else did. ^.^ Here's the first one!

There once was a man who had no eyes
He went outside to view the skies
He saw a tree with apples on
He took no apples off and left no apples on

I only like riddles I can figure out!


This one is driving me crazy...Alaynna, its always that way with riddles...You have to think of some kind of man that doesn't have eyes...It's likely an inanimate object or something of that sort. At least it's usually that way...Something obvious where you go..."oh, am I that dumb?"
Kidding.....But I am stuck.


We NEEEED a hint...Hint, hint..

Ok, I have been racking my freakin brain over this thing....!!!

I think I have some of it.. Alaynna made me think of the eyes and so I focused on that and all I can come up with is that the man could see but didn't have "eyes" but you CAN see with ONE eye so he is a man with one eye..

I can't really figure out the apples thing though! I will think on it and come back!

Ok, I think I get it....It's about the plural thing again.. He didn't take apple(S) off nor did he leave apple(S) on...So, he took ONE apple and there was another apple (not appleS) on the tree still!

Ok, I am still assuming that its a one eyed man and there were only two apples on the tree...and Enkeli is offline so she can't tell us....*pout*

Here is another riddle... (if I am wrong about my answer above, then just ignore my post!


Someone at a party introduces you to your mother's only sister's husband's sister in law. He has no brothers. What do you call this lady?

I am going to think on this one and report back later or tomorrow if no one has gotten it.
I was inclined to think Dandelion but they are still there when it rains....

What is it.

The maker doesn't need it
The buyer doesn't use it

I think I might have it. Notice that it says "he saw a tree with apples ON" It doesn't say "He saw a tree with Apples on IT"

So maybe, this man had a shirt that had apples on it. Maybe he didn't take this shirt off, but he took all the apples off the tree!

I'm probably just confusing everyone even more but 0oh well!

I think the one eye thing was right...and there were two apples on the tree but since he only had one eye...he only saw one apple...so he took one off and he still thought there was one apple on the tree
