    Is it because the man is Mr tidy so his windows would not have any frost on them? (I know this is a stupid answer this one is really hard)

    Sorry about not checking this thread for a while. I've been afk all weekend. xD

    Welldone Verto! That is indeed the answer to riddle 1!

    And the answer to the detective riddle has something to do with the frost, but mr. tidy doesn't ;D

    Wait, doesn't frost form on the inside, not the outside?
    He can't have seen inside! He had to have done it!

    I think it's about time for some fresh riddles if you people are up for them?

    Okay, here we go:

    1) Can not be bought, can not be sold, even if it's made of gold.

    2)Mountains will crumble and temples will fall, and no man can survive its endless call. What is it?

    3)An openended barrel, it is shaped like a hive. It is filled with the flesh, and the flesh is alive!

    They are in order of difficulty (I think) so let's see how you all do!

    Yup, a heart is exactly right.

    But I'm afraid number 2 isn't the call of the wild. And number three is a ridiculously hard one which I like to use because it sounds nice, and breaks people's minds :D

    Heya, have another riddle for you guys:

    One by one we come to life,
    Then side-by-side we wait
    While our company swells in numbers
    (Some come early, some come late);
    And some of us may bore you,
    And some of us enthral,
    But you cannot choose between us
    You must take us one and all.
    We'll be bound together tightly
    For we're naught if we break free.
    If you'd like some clues about us
    Simply answer: WHO ARE WE?

    Nope that's not it. Tehe... yup it is a tough one. A friend told it to me a while ago so I thought i'd share the suffering I went through when trying to work it out.

    That's what riddles are for. Making people suffer when you know the answer and they don't :D

    This just a pattern of digits rather than a sequence of values.
    Just read the previous line aloud to find the next number.
    ie.
    1
    Is one 1. Therefore 1 1.

    11
    This is not eleven, but two 1's. 21.
    21
    Oh look, one 2 and one 1.
    1211
    one 1, one 2 and two ones...
    111221
    312211
    13112221

    so...one 1, one 3, two 1, 3 twos and a 1.
    111321321

    This is the dullest puzzle I've read in my entire life and I have no idea why I bothered answering it. I'll give you a hard one -
    (Yes, I know whales aren't fish...it's a riddle that no-one on this site will ever get and you won't be able to look it up on the web because I just made it up!)

    When you don't know me I amaze.
    When you know me I'm dull
    Unless you give me to someone else.

    I wanted to make it rhyme but I can't be bothered. =D

    It's an easy one and one that's been done a million times and one that is answered in this thread.

    Damn I'm asking for a lot of hate mail these days. xD

    I wanna solve a riddle to redeem myself. =(
