Solve the riddle and post another.

I got this idea from my sister, but it seemed like a good idea at the time.
Ok then. Easy one to start:

What are the next 3 letters in this sequence?

O T T F F S S

E N T

(eight nine ten)

Oh, another puzzle. Okay.

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y

What colour should the "Z" be? And why is it that colour?

Black - cos it's made up of straight lines.

'Zactly! Now you go.

Ok, I'll try another.

A riddle, this time:

You're in a dark room with only a candle, a wood stove, and a gas lamp. You have only one match, so which do you light first?

Joel007 · 31st October 2006, 05:00 PM

the match

Joel007 · 31st October 2006, 05:17 PM

Since I'm leaving my terminal in a matter of minutes and I haven't had the answer confirmed, I'll post a riddle anyway

Here's an easy one.

Of all your possessions, I am the hardest to guard. If you have me you will want to share me. If you share me, you will no longer have me.

Virginity?

Either virginity or luncheon meat.

I think it's virginity.

Edit: Could be eggs, flattery, ink, candles, momentum, music, doilies, lanyards, cheese, electricity, shape, bones, sequins, tea, penguins, triangles, hand tools, heat, verticality, horoscope, symmetry, mail, umbrellas, loyalty, pineapples, cynicism, air, fences, gravity, imagination, robots, toupees, pimples, lather, leverage, childhood, or manatees.

Or possibly towels, panic, communication, history, monosodium glutamate, numbers, weather, asbestos, a vacuum, streets, voyeurism, stirrups, paint, seashells, elbow room, diamonds, rope, detours, elitism, sandpaper, sunshine, bicycles, erasers, alertness, clamps, escalators, toes, grooming, ear plugs, swords, glue, depression, tents, ice, gourds, magnets, or x-rays.

But I'm stil betting on virginity.

Paige, you have too much time on your hands!

Paige Turner · 31st October 2006, 06:52 PM

You know, as I think of it, it could be dexterity. Or gum.

Dexterity, gum, or inflammation. Maybe cushions.

Most likely virginity.

At the risk of introducing sanity to the equation...

a secret?

Secret sounds pretty good to me.

Talysia · 1st November 2006, 12:27 PM

I agree. I think a secret, too. (By the way, yes, the answer to my other riddle was to light the match first. I got sidetracked. Sorry!)

In the meantime, how about this one?

What's more powerful than God, the rich want it, the poor have it, and if you eat it, you die?
