Mikey's Riddles topic

THE RIDDLE OF THE IRREFUTABLE BEGINNINGObjective: find mikey's date of birth.I am time. And if I am time then when I stand still time stops. And if places are months then we shall proceed;I have walked very far now, but not so far. This year I stopped walking after a while, at the shop that sold ice-cream. I reckon I had passed a few shops before I reached that one, since the time that marked my beginning. The second shop I passed was number 29. Ofcourse, the first shop is the one that sells hot pasties and coffee and you can sit inside, it is the first of these type of shops. I suppose this ice-cream shop is the opposite really, but I come from a shop such as the former.But what number was the first shop? I can't seem to remember. But if lower is higher and higher is lower then I suppose it is higher than the shop I have stopped at.Now how many years have I passed these shops that I can remember? And if coins are years and pennies are pounds and vice versa, then pennies are years. Now I have 24 pounds on me.Now my mother says I passed these shops twice more but that I can't remember.There are three shops that sell hot pasties and such. And on an odd year, I came from the first shop which is of this type.No complaining that the puzzle isn't fair, it's the author's right to make it as hard as possible, be vague, and cloud the issue, and leave you guesswork.(logic-table puzzles are too easy, this one requires a bit of guessing aswell).Edited by mike the wiz, : typo

It's not correct, but it doesn't matter. I enjoyed your reasonings. Very clever.This shows me that this riddle is not that easy to guess at, but you didn't fail completely. That's all I will say though, because I don't want to give it away.

Hi AIGS, welcome to the forum. Well done for having a go, I'm enjoying people's play. It's not those dates but it was very interesting seeing how you reasoned, which is half the fun of these riddles, as it shows how people can come up with all sorts of creative and clever ways of trying to solve the problem.CLUE: the logic might work more obviously, with certain guesses.

Brilliant effort. It's not correct, but all I can say is that you can solves this now - just that bit of extra inner-Sherlock is required!

It's not the 24th of January 1981 Para'. But your efforts are not in vain. I feel we are on the verge of a breakthrough.My dear fellow-Sherlocks, can you but for a moment in your life as transitionals , stop your thoughts and place your magnifying glasses once again upon this piece of information, in the hopes of dissecting it thoroughly;

Well, I was never top in the class, so I'll just go with the one who said, "Iodine".The reason is that, he started with "Iodine", and after "Bismuth" was stated, he remained silent, but it was his turn to come up with a word with a connection to the others spoken.Well, it's all I could think of. I'm good at making riddles, but not particularly good at solving them unless Ipunish my brains some.(It wasn't January 6th 1981) -- I'll give the answer tomorrow, you might decide to have another crack at it.

I later thought that the answer would be a non-metal. But unlike you guys I don't have knowledge of the periodic table.So if Iodine is the non-metal I would have went with that, but Para' hasn't got back to you yet. We'll have to wait on his answer.

It's not the date.I'll give the answer later today. Thanks for trying. Keep checking back I might add more riddles at a later date.

Hi Leviethan. Welcome. Answer in message #19 of this topic.

You have three motors;One motor has an MOT.John's tyre is bald
Bill's only has two wheels on it
Steve's has no driver door
Bill's has no steering wheel
John's is missing seat belts
Steve's has no brake lightsWho owns the vehicle with the MOT?(We'll assume all are honest responsible drivers, that would not drive without meeting the lawful requirements).This is an easy one.

Correct, young Sherlock.

Sorry, I illogically assumed that Americans called them MOTs. It's a vehicle test to make sure your vehicle is road-legal.

yes, we have to renew every twelve months. Lucky devils.
