RiddlesComments Off on Random Riddle: A Good Sense of Hearing
Sep052025
Assuming you can’t steal an animal’s sense of hearing, or use an electrical device, what would you need in order to hear a pin drop from over 20 yards?
On six feet, I am a noxious drink,
Of whose effects you shudder to think.
Change only my second foot, and then
You convert me into a horrible den
Where the culprit, who gave the noxious drink,
Awaits the fate of which you shudder to think.
“On six feet” means a six-letter word. The first two lines refer to poison. The next two lines refer to prison. The last two refers to where “the culprit” who gave you the poison would go — prison.

Sep032025
7 dogs were boarding at the local Pet Lodge. Each dog was in a separate run, all in a single row. One of the employees left the cages unlocked, and the dogs have all gotten out of their runs. She needs to put each of them back in the right cage, but this is all she remembers. Help her get them in the right cages, and QUICK!
Dogs: Beau, Duke, Fluffy, Lady, Princess, Rover, and Spike
1. Spike doesn’t like other dogs much, so he was on one of the ends.
2. Princess was somewhere to the left of Beau.
3. Rover was in the third run from the right.
4. The only dog between Fluffy and Lady was Princess.
There was a village that was controlled by the all-powerful Chief. There was a theft in the village which had occurred recently; however, no one knew who it was. The police had gathered 8 suspects and brought them to the Chief. The Chief gave each of them a stick and said, “These are magic sticks. Overnight, one stick will grow two inches longer than the rest. The one with the longer stick is the culprit. I want all of you to show up here again tomorrow.” The next day, there was one person’s stick that was two inches shorter, while the other seven were two inches longer. The Chief had the person with the shorter stick arrested.
The sticks weren’t really magical. The Chief had said that because he knew that the real criminal would try to cut his stick shorter so it would remain the same length in the morning.
