I am required for the world to go round.
You live because of me.
You die because of me.
Time.
Dreams?
I am there when you sleep, I am gone when you awake.
I have brought you joy, and I have brought you fear.
What am I?
Correct!
(I'm not that original :P)
Three gods A, B, and C are called, in no particular order, True, False, and Random. True always speaks truly, False always speaks falsely, but whether Random speaks truly or falsely is a completely random matter. Your task is to determine the identities of A, B, and C by asking three yes-no questions; each question must be put to exactly one god. The gods understand English, but will answer all questions in their own language, in which the words for yes and no are da and ja, in some order. You do not know which word means which.
This riddle drove me insane until I thought that it must be impossible and looked it up.
No Idea.
What is it that no man wants to have but no man wants to lose?
Employment.
No man wants to have to be employed but the necessity of such means you do not want to lose it should you obtain it.
Here is a very old one.....

Einstein's riddle
The situation
There are 5 houses in five different colors.
In each house lives a person with a different nationality.
These five owners drink a certain type of beverage, smoke a certain brand of cigar and keep a certain pet.
No owners have the same pet, smoke the same brand of cigar or drink the same beverage.
The question is: Who owns the fish?

The green house's owner drinks coffee.
The person who smokes Pall Mall rears birds.
The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhill.
The man living in the center house drinks milk.

The owner who smokes BlueMaster drinks beer.
The German smokes Prince.
The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.
The man who smokes blend has a neighbor who drinks water.
Einstein wrote this riddle this century. He said that 98% of the world could not solve it.
Well played
Nice try but it's a lawsuit
And I am obviously one of the 98%.
I have arms, tails, heads, and legs but am not a living thing. (This will be ESPECIALLY hard for those who have never been to Australia).
Einstein also lived in a different era, people are a lot smarter than they were sixty years ago. IQS have rose thirty points in the last 30 years or so.
Its a math problem. Just think of it that way.
Damn, I know like a bunch of impossible to get Riddles, lets see:
Jerry and Larry live in the same house. There is broken glass, water, and a knocked over table on the floor. Jerry is dead on the floor and Larry is sleeping on the couch. How did Larry kill Jerry?
It was a water monster that killed Jerry!
Nopies
Larry has mastered shadow clone jutsu?
I have seas with no water, coasts with no sand, towns without people, mountains without land. What am I?
Isn't it something like you have to ask each god what another would tell you if you asked them if they were A? Or something? Haven't really thought it through but I think it must be something along those lines...
Is it something to do with ice melting? Hence the water?
not really a riddle but..
This is a story about a girl. While at the funeral of her mother, she met a man whom she did not know. She thought he was amazing, her dream guy, and she fell in love with him but never asked for his number and could not find him after the funeral. A few days later the girl killed her sister.
Question: What is her motive in killing her sister?
Answer: She was hoping that the guy would appear at the sister's funeral.
If you answered this correctly, you think like a psychopath. This was a test a famous American psychologist used to test if one has the same mentality as a killer. !
Many arrested serial killers took this test and answered it correctly.
If you didn't answer correctly - good for you. list... unless that will tick you off, then I'll just be extra nice to you from now on.
A woman is traveling towards the center of a field, and when she gets there she knows that she will die.
Why?
nope
Yessss I love riddles
I did it in the past, took me 15 mins. This isn't impossible to most people today.
To see that guy again and get his phone number.
EDIT: I guess I'm a psychopath... hahahaha... O)-(O
Is the meaning of "da" and "ja" the same to all the Gods though? I assume they are. If so, I think I'm close.
That's a similar riddle, the one about the two guys and the two doors.
O.o
Suppose that you are standing in a hallway next to 3 light switches, which are all off. There is another room down the hallway, where there are 3 incandescent light bulbs – each light bulb is operated by one of the switches in the hallway. Because the light bulbs are in another room, you can not see them since you are standing in the hallway. How would you figure out which switch operates which light bulb, if you can only go the room with the light bulbs one time, and only one time?
Like I said its an impossible riddle, no way anyone could get it.
Jerry is a fish and Larry is a dog, and Larry knocked over the fish bowl.
A map. This was in Dragon Age: Origins I think.
Yeah, I think "da" and "ja" means the same to all gods.
Don't worry, I am too.
Edit: Really though, this question is pretty obvious. She has one problem, as stated in the question, and as such I wouldn't expect her motive to go beyond the scope of the information I'm given.
It wouldn't make sense if the answer was something like, "She took her bucket of KFC," because it has nothing to do with her dilemma or the information given.
