I'm pretty sure my answer to the last riddle was correct, so I get to post the next one.

Since everybody here loves Pizza riddles:

There are three men staying in a motel, and they give the guy behind the desk at the motel 10 dollars each to order them some pizza.

When the pizza is delivered, the bill is only 25 dollars.
Because he can’t be bothered fnding change, the guy behind the desk gives them one dollar back each, and pockets the remaining two dollars himself.

Each of the guys has now paid 9 dollars ( having given him 10 dollars in the first place, and getting 1 back with their pizza ), which comes to 27 dollars. The guy behind the desk has the 2 dollars that he pocketed. The 27 dollars paid by the three men and the 2 dollars he pocketed come to a total of 29 dollars.

Where is the other dollar from the original 30 ?

What's loud and causes STDs?

The correct answer was wHORe moans.... I would have also accepted Ho moans.

Since everybody here loves Pizza riddles:

Without even looking at the riddle, I am confident the answer is "Pizza".

New riddle.

There is only $27 involved. You're supposed to subtract $2 to get to the actual bill of $25 rather than try to add it up to $30 (there's no 30 dollars now, only 27).
Or something like that.

I remember this one boggled my mind for a long time when I first heard it.

That's pretty much it. Basically, people get tripped up (or go insane) because they are trying to make two different situations reconcile with each other.

In the first situation, there is indeed $30 in play, since the three guys each threw in $10. After money is returned to them however, it changes the total to $27, since they all put $9 in. The pizza is always $25. It's just that in the first situation they overpaid by $5, and in the second situation they still overpaid...only this time by $2, which the clerk pocketed as tip.

You get to ask the next riddle Josh. Bonus points if its pizza related.

There was a murder in the front yard. The neighbours saw it but the police weren't called. The best detectives in the world couldn't find a body. What happened?

Justin Beiber and Rebecca Black sang a duet in the front yard, thus murdering music once and for all. The victim was everyone in earshot.

A murder of Crows?

edit: deleted part about how much I hate crows and how they should all be sent into the firey depths of Mordor to burn for eternity.

Nice Kevin.

Tripp · Post by **Tripp** » 17 Jun 2012 12:27

The real answer is it was a murder of crows killed and devoured the pizza delivery guy, thus the detectives couldn't find a body. The neighbors didn't call the police because they are all frickin' crazy.

So in essence there were 2 murders.

I did not modify, omit, or add anything to that. It's the actual answer.

Tripp · Post by **Tripp** » 17 Jun 2012 12:28

Nice try though.

C-Fan · Post by **C-Fan** » 18 Jun 2012 09:11

Sounds close enough. Kevin, you get to ask the next riddle.

This thing all things devours
Birds, beasts, trees, flowers
Gnaws iron
Bites steel
Grinds hard stones to meal
Slays kings
Ruins towns
And beats high mountains down.

(riddles are better when they rhyme. Or maybe I just like little poems.)

A very large asteroid?

...or maybe pizza?

C-Fan · Post by **C-Fan** » 20 Jun 2012 06:08

I'm guessing rain. Could be time though.

Huh, I thought this one was better-known. I picked what I thought was riddle so well-known that asking it was basically a freebie because Kevin gave away his turn as a freebie...

Or maybe Ken is just pulling my leg...

because the answer is Time.

I'm also awarding some bonus points to Nick because its always a good time for pizza.

(the riddle, for those who didn't know or are just feigning ignorance, is from The Hobbit --- there is a chapter where Bilbo and Golum have a riddle contest, and this is one of the riddles Golum asks Bilbo. The chapter was titled [appropriately] "Riddles in the Dark", which reminds me that the answer to one of the riddles IS "Darkness" ---

It lies behind stars
And under hills
And empty holes it fills
It comes first
And follows after
Ends life
Kills laughter

-- Golum's riddles were, on the whole, much cooler-sounding than Bilbo's)

You gave the answer too fast. Being that the Hobbit is the only novel I've ever read in my entire life, I actually knew that answer.
