Hey, i'm bringing some games over from 1.o!
*all credit for this idea goes to Lukana
Okay, here's the rules:
1. Someone posts a riddle.
2. Each person gets three tries per riddle.
3. Three riddles can go at the same time.
4. Everyone must give up before the answer is revealed!
You are in a plane and it crashes right on the border between America and Mexico. Where do you bury the survivors?

The sun dial is said to be the timepiece with the least moving parts. What is the timepiece with the most moving parts.

Uh, you don't? You give the bodies to their next of kin?

No where. You don't bury survivors, they are still alive.

Kiara is correct. And NISSA, please don't post a new riddle until the previous one has been solved.
MISSA: A grandfatherclock?

I'd say that the sun is the timepiece with the most moving parts, simply because of the chemical and nuclear reactions that take place upon its surface, albeit on a rather small scale.
I suspect that the answer will turn out to be a sundial, but I don't know why. It just seems characteristic of so 'simple' a riddle.

No, and no. Give up?

Sorry, I guess I misunderstood.

A human? Totally out-there guess. I also have a great riddle I want to share.

Nope, not a human. It's actually fairly easy. No one guessed it in my house either. My dad was even stumped.

For this, you really need to define timepiece.

Not really, no. It's an hourglass.

Alright, there are fifty sheep in a flock. Fifty more upon that. Six and seven, twice eleven, three plus two how much is that?

The answer to Poisonsnarl's riddle depends on the series of numbers that need to be added.
If all the number are to be added, I got 140 (50+50+13+22+5). If the sheep are irrelevant, as seems likely, I got forty (13+22+5). If you are supposed to ignore all the numbers with the exception of the final set, I got 5 (2+3).
There really are a number of ways to interpret the question. You could get 6,711,115 (Placing 6, 7, two 11's, and 3 together, and then adding two). That just seems unnecessarily complicated, however, so...
I think the answer is 40, because it seems more likely that you would ignore the sheep but take into consideration all the numbers that follow, since they are in the same sentence as the question itself.

wow...Thats what I was gonna say but I was too lazy...
Ok, this isn't a riddle but try it anyway
1. Grab a calculator
2. Key the first 3 digits of yer phone number
3. Multiply by 80
4. Add 1
5. Multiply by 250
6. Add the last four digits
7. Add them again
8. Subtract 250
9. Divide by 2
What’s the answer?

The answer is your own phone number

That'd be a person. An infant crawls on all-fours, an adult walks on both legs, and an elder uses a cane.
I'm working on creating a worthwhile riddle to post here. I'm terrible at it, but I might have some measure of luck in creating something that is inanely difficult while still being extraordinarily simple. It's more likely that it will be nothing but the former, of course...
Aren't we waiting for Poisonsnarl to announce the result of his/her riddle? Should we be posting with his/her riddle still going?
