[Just woke up from coma. Buttmad about it tbh.

A puzzle post might be in order to cheer himself up. In fact, a puzzle post is definitely in order.]


It has t at the beginning, t at the end, and t in the center of it. What is it?

I fly and never leave the ground, I swim and never get wet. What am I?

There is a green house. Inside there is a white house. Inside there is a red house, and inside the red house many babies. What is it?

What has a head, a tail, is brown, and has no legs?

I'm black when you get me, red while you use me, white when you're all through with me. What am I?

I am lighter than what I am made of. More of me is hidden then seen. What am I?

There is a room with three switches in it downstairs, and above them an attic with three lightbulbs. Each bulb corresponds to one switch. You can turn the switches on and off freely, leaving them in any position. How would you find which switch corresponds to which bulb, if only allowed one trip upstairs?

Your last good ping-pong ball fell down into a narrow metal pipe embedded in concrete one foot deep. How can you get it out undamaged, if all the tools you have are your tennis paddle, your shoe-laces, and your plastic water bottle, which does not fit into the pipe? (Author's note: it must be a frivolous life to care so intensely about a ping-pong ball, but then again, the solution is so easy that a ping-pong aficionado really can't be looked down upon for going to the effort, I suppose.)

Having fun, readers? If you're sweating too hard over these, maybe we can play a free-form game.

((Highlight for answers, I don't want to actually ruin this post for anyone. >>))

[Omar doesn't usually text, but he's doing the riddles as he goes down the list, so for once, he writes his answers down.]

teapot

shadow

watermelon

penny coin, except yo, that color be copper, not brown, that's misleading

dead body

iceberg

turn one on, turn it back off in a few minutes, turn the second on, go on up. one you turned off be warm.

why you need the racket and the shoelaces if you got a water bottle?

keep 'em coming, baby
