You're very welcome. Since nobody's solved it yet, it can't be THAT horrible And a no for Rubik's cube. It doesn't fit the 4th line. That's also a good try, though Etch-a-sketch is still my favorite attempt.

Wouldn't the expected number of couples vary depending on the total amount? I.e. if you start with 3R and 5B compared to 300R and 500B. The bag with 800 marbles would have way more expected couples, right?
-
Not what I had in mind. Could you make them fit the riddle?
-
This is an awesome answer! I would say it fits a little too loose with the 2nd and 4th lines though.

Look up Mario's history if you don't believe me. The game Mario Bros. was available on Atari. Super Mario Bros. was the first installment for the Nintendo generation. Generation refers to the console if that's where you are having problems. I.e. right now we are in the Wii, X Box 360, PS3 generation.

Some there are, yet all began A pact to finalize their plan Though evil sprouts in many hearts Whenever I am made by man -home brewed

Sorry, no. 1) The game Mario Bros. featured Mario and Luigi and preceded Nintendo and Super Mario Bros. 2) Daisy is not Princess Toadstool. Princess Toadstool is Princess Toadstool and first appeared in Super Mario Bros.

Hehe. The only part I didn't get was the hint -there you go

It's too early for a big hint like this I think.

You're not accounting for the first part of the puzzle when they each put money down on the table.
-
I think I got it
-
Heh, definitely. This has got to be the conventional answer. Good one!
-
brhan, can you please clarify this for me? Does it mean the leftmost guy has 4x the money of the person directly to his right?

Not many penguins in Northern snow or in Southern Plains, but good guess.

On top of 1 of 3 piano pedals makes total sense. I sincerely doubt the riddle would require us to guess his age. And the cane, legs thing doesn't work. The riddle says on top, not in. And even it were on top, the kids would see it right away.

no, it's not life.

Nice GIJeff. I included both Snake and Ryu to eliminate any Smash Bros. references. The other similar puzzle took these 2 characters off because I figured not enough people would be familiar with them. Here is the historical answer I had in mind:

My first thought is:

Well, I'll post my original answer to this one, since there are, as been pointed out, infinite answers. My original thoughts had to do with video gaming history.
-
Well, how did you arrive at 1,1,1?
-
So far nobody has gotten the right answer. Just try to apply a yeti or a walrus to all 4 lines, and neither fit.

You got it. Nice grey cells. You get a gold star for remembering the first e =)

I think this tangent about analyzing the truth has raised the real problem here. If it's inherent in the question that the cockerel laid eggs, which it is, is this an established truth or not? Also, about Noct's post concerning typos, etc.. I totally agree, and would never hold a typo against someone unless the question was totally illegible or didn't make sense because of whatever typo, mis wording, etc.. to which we all should simply ask for a re-phrasing or explanation. But, looking deep into the heart of riddles is what makes these long discussions fun. It can be silly at times, but it can also unearth totally new and reasonable answers or help to create new riddles that branch off of the discussion.

I'll post a hint for this one because it might lack enough substance, hence no hits yet.
