in General

Riddle #1:
It can't be seen, can't be felt,
can't be heard, and can't be smelt.
It lies behind stars and under hills,
and empty holes it does fill.
It comes first and follows after,
ends life, and kills laughter.

What is it?

Answer #1:

The dark ~ 🌑

Riddle #2:
What goes up the chimney down, but won't go down the chimney up?

Answer #2:

An umbrella ~ 🌂☂️

Riddle #3:
You have three stoves: a gas stove, a wood stove, and a coal stove, but only one match. Which should you light first?

Answer #3:

The match ~ 🔥

My Inspiration:
This scene popped into my mind the other day.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail : 3 Questions

So... have any good riddles/jokes to share?

    I don’t know how to hide answers lol

    @Sheena123 ~
    You put a right arrow/carrot '>'
    [no space] followed by an exclamation point '!'
    [then one space] followed by your "spoiler" text.

    If wanting to hide multiple paragraphs repeat the symbols at the start of each.

    Blah, blah, blah 2

    Blah, blah, blah 3

    Blah, blah, blah 4

    Blah, blah, blah 5

    Blah, blah, blah 7

    Blah, blah, blah 8

    Blah, blah, blah 10 (4 underscores underneath)

    Blah, blah, blah 11

    Blah, blah, blah 12

    Blah, blah, blah 13

    Blah, blah, blah 14
    Blah, blah, blah 15

    Lol ~ @Sheena123 @Mike403 & @HUGGGGGG ~ You all have me rolling!

    💁‍♀️ Also, I edited my "code" post to include all the ones I know of that work here, and did them so you could see what they look like in an actual post ~ so now the spoiler works too. 🤪

    I was thinking "nothing" for the first one.. I guess I was close.

    I used to like to play the kind of riddle games where someone would state a situation and you'd have to ask yes/no questions until you figure it out. One such riddle: There's a guy sitting at a table in a bar who has been shot dead, and he is surrounded by bicycles. What happened?

    He was playing poker with some other people and was caught cheating and shot dead. The "bicycles" are Bicycle brand playing cards.

    @quixotic_life I always wondered what that little blurb meant: “Styling with Markdown is supported” Thanks for opening our eyes to all the possibilities.

    😳...🤗

    @cualtzin ~ You're welcome 😊 I had to look it up a while back because the formatting buttons weren't working, plus I think it's fun to play with.

    More of a puzzle: Can you make one word out of the letters in "new door"?

    Yes. (Just rearrange the letters to make "one word").
