0 Guest Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 I'm out of town on business, so my usual weekend catharsis of brain replenishment (via drinking some beer or something) is not happening. Therefore my guess is worse than usual - I guess appetite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 itachi-san Posted April 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 The Spirit of fire. Hmm. This is a pretty sweet answer. It doesn't really satisfy the riddle, but it's a great guess. I feel like this one is particularly difficult so here's a hint. There is only one answer, but each line has nothing to do with every other line.

0 itachi-san Posted April 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 Well, here's the answer. I admit that I made this one with more fun than logic in mind. This one was really tough, but I was hoping for the off chance that someone's mind worked as strangely as mine does. a weak spot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 itachi-san Posted April 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 Can you please explain? I get your inference on the dragon, but then you lost me. Sure, keep in mind that it really more of a fun challenge than a logical one. Every dragon has one It's a common saying that every dragon has a weak spot. How else would anyone be able to slay them? An adult's weight held by a child Picture yourself at the gym doing presses with a frail little kid spotting you. That's a weak spot you've got. Man's best friend lacking courage A common name for a dog is Spot. Saying Spot can usually evoke someone to think of a dog given the proper context. When only water is sufficient If you can get a stain out of your shirt with just water, then it must have been a weak spot. Since this was such an oddball riddle, I didn't want people to think too long and hard about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since this was such an oddball riddle, I didn't want people to think too long and hard about it Heh heh. I immediately thought of "a weakness" after the first line, but I was missing the key word to tie it all together. It was hard, but I like it.

ONLY water is sufficient - does not work, Gym - watched/seen by a child - don't get that either Anyway as always it's fun to see responses and most of all the imagination that the topic inspires, shame it for me that i can't say it's tangentially there.

OK, I'll start with gym question. When someone is helping you lift weights they are called a 'spot'. 'Can you spot me while I lift these weights?' So, if the spot is a little kid, then he would be a weak spot. And not much help if you're lifting a lot. For the stain question, if only water is sufficient to remove a stain, then it wouldn't be much of a stain, like a grass stain on your pants. Say you spilled some soda on your shirt, which would make a spot, then you put your shirt under a running faucet to remove the spot. That's a pretty weak spot because you didn't need soap or something abrasive to remove it. For the Siren one: Come to me and I bring death come to the mythical siren and thy will try to (and usually, except for Odysseus) kill you Await me and I bring life You wait for an ambulance siren or any life support siren. Just stay where are; don't move and make your injury worse. And you will hear the siren coming closer and closer bringing you (hopefully) the means to keep your life.
