Riddles

Do we not have any simple "Riddles" topic? Let's try one.

Riddle #1: 30 PICARATS.

• A pregnant lady named her children: Dominique, Regis, Michelle, Fawn, Sophie and Lara. What will she name her next child? Jessica, Katie, Abby or Tilly?

Tilly. (Do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti)

Riddle 2: Okay, an older one, but here we go. A doctor is working late in the emergency room when a young man is brought in with life-threatening injuries from a car accident. "I can't operate on this boy," the doctor says. "This is my son! I can't trust myself to think clearly." Even though the doctor is not the boy's father, the rest of the ER staff agree. Why?

Correct.

Because the doctor is the boy's mother! Do I get 30 Picarats!?

Correct. I'd rather solve than pose.

You get 5 Rupees and to make the next riddle.

We need a story for this.

Layton and Luke are learning about the history of this woman. She named all her daughters after Do-Re-Mi and is a doctor.

We shall create Professor Layton and the Tropes of TV.

And it will deconstruct every trope in the series.

Let's get this thread back on track, shall we?

What is a game you can only play once and you can't know the rules?

Life.

I am never used by my owner, my crafter never needed me, my user never saw me. What am I?

A coffin!

So obviously, Layton tells Luke this puzzle and another one before someone loses the game mentioned in the former said puzzle. And then they're put in a coffin.

Are you going to post another riddle? No? Fine.

You're in a mansion and the power's out. You see a green door and a red door. Pick one (it doesn't matter which.) Now you see a purple door and a orange door. Pick one (again, it doesn't matter which you pick). Now you see a door with a golden handle and a door with a silver handle. Pick one. You finally come to some signs on three doors. One says "Death from drowning," another says "Death from machine guns," and the last one says "Death from electric chair." Then you see a big sign off to the side that says "Or stay in the mansion and starve to death." What do you choose and still live?

"Death from electric chair." The power is out.

I got nothing. Somebody else set one.

I have to tell you, I know that one by house. Say "You're in a house with n-" and I'll say "Electric BoogalooChair."

What's Mississippi's favorite piece of clothing?

So you buy a hint... Think about all the US states.

South Dakota!

'Jersey (I've heard the Delaware version of this before).

Lemme see... Ah. Can't even remember where I found this one.

I went into the forest and I got it. When I got it I looked for it, but couldn't find it, so I brought it home in my hand. What is it?

I don't know. Alaska.

...

She said it was her New Jersey.

Looks like nobody's solved it yet. Shall I give the answer, or is anybody going to guess?

_VClarify, please. Does everyone give up, or not? Kinda surprised nobody even Googled it; I found it on the Internet...

I'll take that as a yes. It's a splinter.

Somebody else's turn.

Alone I am nothing. In front, I am less. Behind, I am more. What am I?

You are the number zero.

Helloooo...

If nobody else has posted another riddle in five minutes, then I'll go ahead and post mine. Hell, I've got a folder with about two dozen of 'em, might as well.
