What leads me, I cover its tracks. But if I'm gone, I won't come back. What am I?

ERASER!
 
Yeah, I just know me - if I start trying - I can't quit and I'm not very good at them, so I will drive myself nuts (or cheat and google it!).
 
Thing I hate about many riddles is that they can have multiple answers. Had a cartoon or a comedy movie (something like that) once with a Sphinx where they addressed that. The Sphinx would ask a riddle and the guy would give an answer and the Sphinx would say it was wrong and the guy would explain why it was right, so the Sphinx would come up with another and another, till he got tired of it and let him pass.
 
Here's an easy one...

2 old women are watching a baseball game while drinking heavily. What inning is it and how many runners are on base???

Oh Hells I can't remember. the Sphinx ones anymore. However, I do remember they were the same ones that were used in an old D&D module and perhaps the Dungeons and Dragons cartoon.

Here's one though...
Though I cannot be seen, I am repulsive to be near.
When I'm in the room, people run in fear.

You can draw a blank/gun.
You can fire a blank/gun.
You can fill in a blank/gun. (Gun with a clip of ammo)

I would argue that you can't fill in a gun, you can only load one. ;) IIRC, if you fill in a gun it won't fire anymore. ;)
 
No cheating for this, it's for Die Hard fans (or anyone decent at math), but it's pretty simple...Don't cheat for one solution, it's no fun that way. Here's the thing....you have to come up with TWO ways to do it (I figured out a second way to do it when I saw it with my friend back in the day when it came out)...the movie only had one in it. So, find TWO possible solutions to this math riddle:

You have a 5 gallon jug and a 3 gallon jug and you have a water faucet...You need to get the 5 gallon jug full of EXACTLY four gallons of water, to the ounce (no eyeballing 4/5ths of the way, has to be exact)...

Find the two ways this can be done. Enjoy. :)
 
Aha Bens I have it figured!

Fill the three and pour into the 5, then do this again and you will have 1 gallon left in the 3. Empty the 5 and pour the 1 gallon in there, refill the 3 and pour it into the 5 and you have 4 gallons!

That's method 1. What's another way to do it?
 
Fill the five gallon jug, pour it into the three gallon jug, you have two left in the five gallon jug. empty the three gallon jug, pour the two gallons from the five gallon jug in and mark it. Pour the two gallons back into the five gallon jug, fill the three gallon jug up to the mark, then pour into the five gallon jug?

Just googled to see if i was right, i'm not....but i'm close...

Nope.
it's close to mine though, see if you can figure it out. i don't want to spoil things for everyone.
 
LOL, i know....I couldn't help but google it because i needed to know if it was right or not. Bad me!
 
Fill the 5 pour into the 3

empty the 3 gallon an pour in the the remaining 2 from the 5
refill the 5 gallon and then pour into the 3 until it full (1 extra gallon) so you end up with 4 gallons left in the 5 gallon bottle
 
Ok this is way over complicated but if you had something to mark with, fill the 5 pour it into the 3, mark where it is aton the 5. The line is 2. Now empty the 3 and pour the 2 into the 3 and mark it. Now pour the 2 from the 3 into the 5 twice. :)

This is method # 2 (the method from Die Hard 3). :)
 
What walks on four legs in the morning then two legs at noon then three legs in the evening?
 
I've never heard it as morning, noon, and evening... always beginning, middle, and end.

But man.

4 as a crawling baby.
2 in the middle of life.
3 as an old man with a cane.
 
Yep
yea not sure why was referenced that way but is how i heard it


Your in a house all four walls face north

a bear walks past the kitchen window. What colour is the bear?
 
Hmm, well actually if you were in the Arctic where polar bears come from and right in the centre, then all your walls would be facing SOUTH! You'd have to be in the Antarctic for all your walls to be facing north and there are no polar bears there!!!!

See, now this is a green personality. You're more analytical than you think, this is what I thought too! You're greener than you lead on. :)
