The Riddle Game

[Cable]

I'm thinking it's a blender, but I'm not certain.

[Jackal]

Give me another hint, the mixture part makes me think of a food processor in the kitchen. But those don't have 2 rings, as far as I know?

[AlwaysWhat,NeverWhy]

Again, no to both. It is part of something bigger, and required for it to work.

There are usually 4,6,8,10 or 12 in each 'something bigger'.

The word 'mixture' is key.

[Jackal]

Now that's a better hint. Is it a cylinder? Like cars have 4-6-8-10 or 12 cylinders. The mixture could be the oils used for it to move?

[Cable]

But where are the rings?

EDIT: Washing machine? And the rings are the sounds it makes?

[AlwaysWhat,NeverWhy]

Jackal is very, VERY close. Actually, he's only a few mm's away. Not a cylinder, but a ...

[Cable]

Engine? Mixture being gas and air? Or is it the car itself?

[Drex]

A tire?

[AlwaysWhat,NeverWhy]

What mechanical component usedin Cars , ships and other internal combustion engines has rings? C'Mon, it has more to do with the NBA than you think.

[hipn]

A Piston

Bingo! I credit half the victory to Jackal and half to hipn, as Jackal almost got it himself.

That's all she wrote for today, folks, gotta catch up on my zzzz's.

[Cable]

I know zippo aboot cars. This sucks.

[Jackal]

Crap, I was close.

Oh well, I went to bed. Good guess Hipn.

That put me off a little. I thought you meant there were more M's in the word.

Me smart

[AlwaysWhat,NeverWhy]

Well, considering that a Piston is INSIDE each cylinder, I wonder why someone didn't pick it up sooner. But Jack still gets half teh credit.

Next one:

A king decided to let a prisoner try to escape the prison with his life. The king placed 2 marbles in a jar that was glued to a table. One of the marbles was supposed to be black, and one was supposed to be blue.

If the prisoner could pick the blue marble, he would escape the prison with his life. If he picked the black marble, he would be executed. However, the king was very mean, and he wickedly placed 2 black marbles in the jars and no blue marbles. The prisoner witnessed the king only putting 2 black marbles in the jars.

If the jar was not see-through and the jar was glued to the table and that the prisoner was mute so he could not say anything, how did he escape with his life?

[Jugs]

He kicked the king in the balls which made him shit out the blue marble

[J@3]

Had his own blue marble?

[AlwaysWhat,NeverWhy]

He kicked the king in the balls which made him shit out the blue marble

I don't thing the king ate the blue marble to begin with. Although there is something in your proposition that relates to the actual answer.

Had his own blue marble?

No. Nice idea, though.


Hint: if he could convince everybody else in the audience that he had made the right choice, the king would have to go along and concede victory.

[J@3]

DEAR GOD! HE USED MIND POWERS ON EVERYONE! ITS A TRICK, EVERYONE GET OUT!!!

[Nick]

The king was colourblind?

[AlwaysWhat,NeverWhy]

DEAR GOD! HE USED MIND POWERS ON EVERYONE! ITS A TRICK, EVERYONE GET OUT!!!

I like your enthusiasm, but .... no.

The king was colourblind?

Nope. That has nothing to do with teh answer, but I like the way you're thinking.


Hint: If he can make everybody else believe that he has picked the right marble, then the King would have to agree for fear of his mischief being exposed.

[Nick]

Oh he told the king to prove to everyone that he picked the wrong marble, and that the blue marble is still in the jar.

[Jugs]

The Prisoner was mute....
