I NEED RIDDLES!

Okay, so there is this kid in my class who thinks he's the boss of riddles. He says that he's so smart he can figure them ALL out without even having herad them before. In my opinion, I think he just spends his days on google searching riddles.

So I need to stump him! Not with riddles that you can type into a search engine and the answer pops up on the first page. A hard, semi-unknown creative riddle!

Got any?

I have a hard one. I've had my friend guessing for about two weeks.


One day an average man was walking down a street in New York when he passed a restaurant. On a board outside it said SPECIAL TODAY: PENGUIN. He walked in and ordered the penguin. He took one bite of the penguin and died. How and why?

Let him guess yes or no questions until he gets it (It takes a TON of guessing)

Answer: (Don't tell him it all at once) He died of a heart attack. His family was on a vacation to Antarctica on a private plane (just them and the pilot). The plane crashed on the edge on iceberg. Only the man and the pilot survived. The pilot would make him meals and tell him that he was eating penguin. When he tasted the penguin at the restaurant, it tasted different then what he ate on the iceberg. Then he realized that on the iceberg he had been eating his family!!!!!

It takes them a long time to guess it. It took me and 4 friends 2 1/2 hours guessing non-stop. It is so worth it to see the look on their face when they get the last sentence of the answer! They might ask some pretty random questions (I did), so just to clear some of them:

The man is totally average. Average height, weight, it doesn't matter.

Both the penguins were perfectly cooked

No, the penguin isn't poisoned, he died of shock


Tell me what happens!!

1. A murderer is condemned to death. He has to choose between three rooms. The first is full of raging fires. The second is full of assassins with loaded guns. The third is full of lions that haven't eaten in 3 years. Which room is safest for him?

2. A woman shoots her husband. Then she holds him under water for over 5 minutes. Finally, she hangs him. But 5 minutes later they both go out together and enjoy a wonderful dinner together. How can this be?

3. What is black when you buy it, red when you use it, and gray when you throw it away?

4. Can you name three consecutive days without using the words Wednesday, Friday, or Sunday?

5. This is an unusual paragraph. I'm curious as to just how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it. It looks so ordinary and plain that you would think nothing was wrong with it. In fact, nothing is wrong with it! It is highly unusual though. Study it and think about it, but you still may not find anything odd. But if you work at it a bit, you might find out. Try to do so without any coaching!

Two men go into a bar and order the same drink at the same time. Both drinks Had the same ingredients. One man drank it fast and left. The other man drank his slow. He died in two minutes. Why?

@cynt5100 Pegasasu-san said ones that cannot be found on the internet. I memorized that one. The ice was poisoned.

@pegasasu I'm email you my riddle. I don't think he could figure this out with a click of a button unless he's a science nerd. 😸 And besides, I made it up myself! No tricks to it1 Just science.

@pegasasu

Was mine too confusing?
