Riddle Contest

Post by shadowheart2006 »

Okay so I'm super bored and get the sense that other people are too, so I though that I would post a fun contest that people can do if/when they're bored. So, here it is:
Riddle Contest!
How it works: I will give you a bunch of riddles, and you reply with their answers as best you can, even if you're just guessing. (In fact, you get points if you don't know the answer but come up with the funniest answer you can, I'll cover points later.)

Points:
Each correct answer: 5 points
Each time you make a funny guess as mentioned above^^: 2 points
Bonus Question: Yes, there is a bonus question! This question is completely optional, and is worth 5 points for a correct answer, 3 points for an attempt. This question will not be a riddle but will be something arbitrary like "What is my favorite color?"
You will not lose points for incorrect answers, you will just not get any points for that question.

Rules:
- You may skip a question if you really don't know the answer and can't come up with a funny question, just put under that answer "Skip". Just like an incorrect answer, you will not lose points, but you will not gain any points either.
- Please be honest about this, I may make up some riddles on my own, but I don't have enough brainpower to make up all 10 and have them not be ridiculously easy so solve, so I will look up some of them. Please be honest and do not look up any riddles, I want this to be fun and fair to everyone.
- With the above being said, you may ask me for 3 hints during the contest. You can spread them out, you can use them all on the same question, I don't care. If you ask for more than 3 hints I will give you a warning and if you persist you will be excluded from the contest.
- Have fun!

And now onto the part you're all waiting for...
Prizes!

Third Place

Timeline:
August 12 - Entries due (Riddles will be posted at this time)
August 18 - Final guesses due
August 19 - Final judging and tallying of points, and handout of prizes

The price of a memory is the memory of the sorrow it brings.
If dreams are like movies, then memories are films about ghosts.
