0 Brandonb Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 Just a thought.... You may want to elaborate a little more. A good riddle is not a description that could fit "everything" and one of those "everything" answers it the predetermined correct one. Instead it needs to fit "something" where the correct answer to fit the description (or possibly just a couple answers that fit but were realized before) is difficult to find or to comprehend. This riddle in the OP could have a hundred answers because it was obviously a description of something musical, with no dissuading characteristics in the OP at all. Sure, it could share a description with something that is not musically related, but the fact is, this description is musical in nature. To say that every guess is "way off" is the opposite statement of the truth, which is that your answer that you consider correct is "way off" base. I gotta say, I am not finding much quality to this riddle. Let me compare it to the Prison games that bonanova writes. Instead of working down to one correct answer from a bunch of information given, your OP comes across more like... "there are 100 inmates in a closed room that you cannot see, what is the name of the guy wearing a hat." There is no information that could lead to anything other than an answer of virtually "anything." Give more information, it's ok if someone comes up with the correct answer quickly. The problem is that with this riddle is not that no one is being stumped, or that everyone is coming up with a correct answer. Its problem is that we are wrong when there is so little information given, and no information at all to suggest anything other than 100 answers. Sorry if that comes across kinda harsh, I'm trying to be constructive. I like your riddles, but this one is too vague. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 It doesn't happen often that I can answer a "Who am I" question, but this time I think I know what the answer is. Don't want to spoil the fun for others, especially because I haven't solved it myself... just wanted to assure that there is a word what means a songbird, something beautiful in a band (not an orchestra!) and something entertaining you could do at home.

This one is not one I made but I can take responsibility "Don't worry about difficult" you typed somewhere. I have the information with the answer. Fact be known, I dislike a lot of these riddles but, I simply look, and find one I will guess at. Here is some help because it was rated somewhat tough elsewhere.

Just to be clear it is a What am I and not a musical type of band. This is not repeat not one with a bunch of answers only one word cleverly fits the OP.

0 akaslickster Posted May 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 (edited) A solitaire is an American songbird.(thrush)known for its sweet songs. It is also a solo gem (diamond set in a ring or band).Also a card game played at home or alone or at work like me. In England they call it patience.
