Let's begin with a riddle, shall we?

Vasilissa Duvessa

Vasilissa Duvessa

It means Princess of Fire and Flame.
Riddle me this, but don't give me a hiss.


A wise king devised a contest to see who would receive the princess’ hand in marriage. The princess was put in a 50×50 foot carpeted room. Each of her four suitors was put in one corner of the room with a small box to stand on. The first one to touch the princess’ hand would be the winner and become the new king.


The rules of the test were that the contestants could not walk over the carpet, cross the carpet, or hang from anything; nor could they use anything but their body and wits. One suitor figured out a way and married the princess and became the new king.


What did he do?


If you don't miss, I'll send you a kiss.
 
Hmmm...maybe he was a gentleman and asked her for her hand? xD

Was the princess already standing next to the suitor? It doesn't say where she was standing, just that she was in the room

In the room it could be anywhere I suppose... For my answer it can be any cause he can either ask at any voice pitch he want :P

Clever answer, Lady Aria, a gentleman's queue.


Perhaps a more difficult riddle would suit you.


Alexander is stranded on an island covered in forest.


One day, when the wind is blowing from the west, lightning strikes the west end of the island and sets fire to the forest. The fire is very violent, burning everything in its path, and without intervention the fire will burn the whole island, killing the man in the process.


There are cliffs around the island, so he cannot jump off.


How can the Alexander survive the fire? (There are no buckets or any other means to put out the fire)


A clever lady, for the last answer you knew.


But take your time with this one, whatever you do.
 
YAAS! I love wrecking my brain for this shet.


Well if it's an island he is surrounded by sea, he can just run East before the fire spreads and swims off but then again it is surrounded by cliffs so the sea ain't an option... He can cause the same thing on the Eastern side so he gets chance for shelter in the area being burnt. However it is though considered he is stranded cause then the guy will have no food as everything on the island would be burnt off so basically he would still end up dying one way or another it would just be by starvation or lack of shelter.


This is #brainwreck

Let's add a little magic, and play a little game.


Let's see if you can guess, what brought me to fame.





Pick a number, and I'll tell you the answer.


Do as I say, then find my aim.


But do not rush, or my question will maim.

A quick mind you've shown.


For no answer, I own.


Do pray tell, what garden you've grown?


What picture you've sewn?
 
[QUOTE="Vasilissa Duvessa]
Your suspicion is strange.
No there is no range.

I think I know what you are doing with this


1
 
1 is 3.


3 is 5


5 is 4.


4 is the magic number.


Go on then, have a go. Do pray tell, what I am doing with this.


Why is 4 magic? But be aware, should you be wrong, I'll give you a hiss.
 
Hmm I'll risk that hiss.


EXAMPLE 1


twelve has 6 letters


six has 3 letters


three has 5 letters


five has 4 letters


4 is the magic number.


EXAMPLE 2


twenty eight has 11 letters


eleven has 6 letters


six has 3 letters


three has 5 letters


five has 4 letters


4 is the magic number.


EXAMPLE 3


one has 3 letters


three has 5 letters


five has 4 letters


4 is the magic number.


I suppose you are simply counting the amount of letter in the number itself and any number I throw at you it will ALWAYS lead to 4
 
A clever girl, that you are.


Tell me now, how far?


Do you truly wish to hear my most treasured prize?


Think cautiously, for it may lead you to your demise.


Not a soul has guessed it.


That makes my favourite.


So simple, yet so hidden.


The true answer is forbidden.


So prepare for my hiss,


or if you're lucky a kiss.


I'll give you my clues,


And the answer, you choose.


That is, only if you are brave enough to dare,


And smart to escape my snare.


Yes, a clever girl you are.


But how clever? How far?
