I have a few simple riddles for you 🙂

"I can have no color, though there may be darkness within. I have no weight and hold nothing, and if placed in a container it becomes lighter."


"Of all your possessions, I am the hardest to guard. If you have me, you will want to share me. If you share me, you no longer have me."


"A princess is as old as the prince will be when the princess is twice as old as the prince was when the princess' age was half the sum of their present age."
Simple Maths one for you too






ok so the possession one has been solved. The other 2 have not?

Ah! You like to bookmark. haha! Nice! It's troublesome to get rid of them sometimes, isn't it?

I can only think of 2 riddles at the moment but will post more. I like this game. These are easy though.

1) There are 6 kids in a house. Their names are A, B, C, D, E, F.

A is reading a book.

B is drawing a painting.

D is playing chess on a wooden chessboard.

E is gardening.

F is doing laundry.

What is C doing?

2) You want to enter a bar but there's a code which you must tell the guard standing outside for him to open the door.

As you look at the door, 2 women approach the guard and he says, "Wednesday". One woman answers, "9" and he opens the door.

5 mins later, a man approaches and the guard says, "Tuesday". The man answers, "7" and the gate is opened.

So, you decide to approach the guard and he says, "Sunday". What is the correct answer?


1. Playing chess with D

2. 6 (number of letters)

(i'm assuming i'm right)

Let's see how you reason this out. You'll have to think a bit out of the box on this but I'm a huge fan of enigmas like these lately.

I'll give you a statement. You have to work up the chain of events until then aka what is the cause/what is the scenario in which the statement is valid.

Can ask an infinite number of questions, I will only answer with "Yes" "No" and "Irrelevant".

A woman stands in front of a hotel. Only two more steps and all will be lost.

Same goes for this...

A windowless room contains three identical light fixtures, each containing an identical light bulb or light globe. Each light is connected to one of three switches outside of the room. Each bulb is switched off at present. You are outside the room, and the door is closed. You have one, and only one, opportunity to flip any of the external switches. After this, you can go into the room and look at the lights, but you may not touch the switches again. How can you tell which switch goes to which light?
lmao, out of all the riddles in the world..

i love this one. fond memories tied to it (also annoyed the shit out of my virgo dad with it)

Oh lol. That means you've read it before. Dang it! Would you like to share what was your first answer to it?

Yeah I remember my mind process was something along the lines of "I'll just switch on one switch, LOOK THROUGH THE WINDOW...if it's the right one...hooray. if not, i have a 50/50 on getting it right between the two as opposed to a 33% chance."

And then I got to thinking. Felt like such a genius when I figured it out lmao.
