I just thought this up! The Riddle Game! I will propose a riddle, and see if anyone can solve it in the given time, and if someone guesses right, I will give another riddle the next time I get on (if nobody guesses right, the correct answer will be given at the deadline). If you solve it, you get mad props, and I guess I'll put you're name in here with how many you solved. Maybe we can make it so at the end of the month, whoever gets the most at the end of the month wins? We'll see. Anyway, heres the first riddle. No CHEATING!
Suzume:4
Adalberto:4

Correctomundo! Now, for another riddle. This one was spoken by our friend, the Sphinx! Anybody well-versed in Greek Mythology should know this one. Not exact wording, but the general gist of it.
What walks on four legs in the morning, two legs in the noon, and three legs in the evening?

...Correct. Hmm, that was pretty quick, lol. Anyway, another riddle is in order.
A man was in a small town for the day, and needed a haircut. He noticed there was only two barbers in town, and couldn't decided which one to go to. Looking at their shops, he saw one was very neat and the barber had a nice haircut and a very clean shave, while the others was a mess and the barber had a horrible haircut, and he needed a shave. Which barber should the man go to and why?

The guy with the messy haircut. He's too busy and he cannot take care of himself while the other one can.

Hmmm, I guess I'll give you that one. The correct answer is the one with the messy haircut, under the pretense that barbers do not cut their own hair, hence the one with the good haircut would have to go to the one with the bad haircut, and vice-versa.
Frank and some of the boys were exchanging war stories. James offered one about his grandfather (Captain Smith), who led a battalion of troops against German forces in World War 1. Through brilliant maneuvers he defeated them and captured valuable territory. Within a few months he received a sword bearing the inscription: To Captain Smith, for Bravery, Daring, and Leadership; World War One, From the men of Battalion 8.
Frank looked at James and asked, "Who do you expect to actually believe that?" Whats wrong with the story?

This one took me forever T_T
They wouldn't have called it World War 1 just a few months after it was over, though I can't remember what it was actually called before WW2.

Correct! And Adalberto, it was called the Great War.
