So these aren't original or anything, but upon realising I'd probably locked out of Ravenclaw tower for a bit unless someone came along to help [or we accept the headcannon that if you admit you don't know the Eagle will let you pass], I thought I'd look some up. So, this isn't just for HP fans, but here are some unoriginal riddles to see what you answer. 1. I give you a group of three. One is sitting down and will never get up. The second eats as much as he is given, yet is always hungry. The third goes away and never returns. 2. A boy and his father are involved in a traffic accident. The boy is rushed to hospital. The Head Surgeon is called to operate, but on seeing the boy, immediately declares: “I cannot operate. This boy is my son.” How is this possible? 3. What asks but never answers? 4. What is it something that you always have but you always leave behind? 5. Imagine you are locked in a room, how do you get out? I'll give the answers after a couple of replies, if you want to post your own as well I'll be interested to answer them.
1. It's a group of two. 2. The surgeon is the boy's mother. 3. An owl? Because it says Who? 4. Footsteps 5. Imagine you have a key ad unlock the door. Here's a riddle. You are in a room that was no windows, or doors. It is completely sealed. The only thing there is a mirror. How do you get out?
1. I don't know what I'm supposed to do with this, but the third guy's just gone and the second guy might eat the first guy and might starve to death or overeat. Oops. 2. It's the mom 3. An owl 4. Honestly the first thing that came to my mind was a shadow. 5. Doors usually lock from the inside. So if I'm locked IN the room, I can simply unlock the door and leave.
1) The first person is totally dependent on the second person and kind of gets used by them, the second person is a narcissist with a histrionic 'flavor', and the third person left because three is a crowd ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 2) The head surgeon is the boy's mom and she's distraught and obviously not in the best state of mind to work 3) Owls don't really talk. However, I do have a learning computer that always asks questions (in a silly robotic voice) and it never answers questions (you just get told what percentage you got correct) 4) Evidence for the forensic services; skin cells, fingerprints, and so on 5) I can leave at any time because you didn't actually put me in a locked room
I feel too ashamed to answer all your riddles... I got frustrated and looked up the first one. Spoiler 1. A stove, fire, and smoke. 2. The surgeon is a woman, the boy's mother. (Or, you know, good ol' gay parenting.) 3. The god damn Ravenclaw eagle. (Imagine getting that riddle and saying to that thing, "you, you motherfucker".) 4. Footprints? 5. Imagine the door opening. My riddle: The one who makes it has no need for it. The one who buys it has no use for it. The one who uses it can neither see nor feel it. What is it?
