Riddle:
A man hosted a party and invited 25 people. Everyone was having fun—eating, drinking, dancing, and some were playing games. Suddenly, the host vanished. People searched for him and eventually found him dead in his room. They called the cops, and when the investigation began, they discovered that the man had written a name in his own blood before dying: “Frank.” Among the attendees, the police initially focused on five suspects: Francis, Roman, Amanda, Nji, and Kelvin. Who killed the host?
Answer: Frank , the killer is among the guests not among the suspects
Riddle:
There is not wind enough to twirl That one red leaf, nearest of its clan, Which dances as often as dance it can. What is it?
Answer: The answer is “flame” (or “fire”). This riddle is related to a quote by Samuel Taylor Coleridge. The “one red leaf” is a metaphor for a tongue of flame on a low fire, which “dances” and flickers even when there isn’t enough wind to twirl an actual leaf. Coleridge’s imagery captures how a small flame closest to the embers moves restlessly with the slightest draft, appearing like a red leaf among its “clan” of other flames and coals
Riddle:
A man was pushed on a pit of dangerous and deadly snakes and scorpions but came out without a single scratch nor bite. How is this possible?
Answer: The man wasn't pushed in the pit, he was pushed on if. Which means he landed on something.
Riddle:
It keeps something that cannot be kept, And wakes you when you have slept. It may go slow or stop at times, But even then it chimes. What is it?
Answer: An alarm clock.
“It keeps something that cannot be kept”: Time can’t be held; a clock only measures it as it slips by. “And wakes you when you have slept”: The alarm rings to wake you. “It may go slow or stop at times”: Clocks can run slow or stop (dead battery, mechanical hiccup). “But even then it chimes”: Many clocks still chime or ring on the hour/alarm, even if their timekeeping isn’t perfect.
