Good morning, QOTD #12 has closed @ 8:00AM EST 10.12.09Ok, it is the weekend so this one runs until Monday.

5 Riddles. You have One PM to get your answers in. No multiple PMs on this one.
First PM with an answer is the only one that counts

1 point for each riddle.

5 bonus points for the first one with all 5 correct.
3 bonus points for the second person with all 5 correct.
2 bonus points for the third person with all 5 correct.




The one who makes it sells it.
The one who buys it doesn't use it.
The one who's using it doesn't know he's using it.
What is it?
A Coffin.


What is black when you buy it, red when you use it, and gray when you throw it away?

Charcoal.


I never was, am always to be,
No one ever saw me, nor ever will,
And yet I am the confidence of all
To live and breathe on this terrestrial ball.
What am I?

Tomorrow ('The future' and 'A moment' also fit).


I have many rings, yet I own no jewelry.
I have no questions, yet I get all of the answers. What am I?

A telephone.


I run but I never walk.
I have a bed but I never sleep.
I have a mouth but I never speak.
What am I?

A river

Busy day, there was a bit of time between closing, totaling and posting the next. :)

I don't look at the answers until, well until curoistity wins out.. but normally that is well into the afternoon. :) According to USC's title, he didn't answer the 4th or suspects his answer is wrong. So.. Assuming you answered all 5 correctly, you are first in :) The scoring is set up to spread the points around a bit... Anyone can score 1 to 5 points easily, they have to get all 5 to be eligible for the bonus points.

Wow, that's a lot of questions. I've gotta eat some breakfast first, and think about it.

No problem. Just for once I thought about this before the afternoon so I was pumped and ready to go.

Couldn't figure out #4, but #5 was quite obvious IMO.

Well I already submitted my answers without number 4. ;)

I would tell you what I was thinking along the lines of, but can't do that either.

4 was the tough one for me too. But when I saw the answer it made sense. :)

2, 4, and 5 came to me fairly easily.

1 pissed me off because I had heard it before, but I got it whilst taking a poop (where all accomplished men do their thinking).

3 was a pisser.

Ok Folks, you'll have to forgive me for not quoting a bunch like I have been doing, I'm at home on a laptop, no mouse, no extra monitor so I'm a bit cobbled. :)

I had 2 people answer "Scantron Sheet" in place of telephone. It actually fits, lots of 'rings/circles' to color in for the answer, it has no questions and you put your answers on the sheet. So I'm calling that one good too.

I'm not sure if a stream has a mouth as a river does but I accepted that answer as well.

Ah makes perfect sense. I was thinking something along the lines of a planet or the stars or something.

Yep. And I didn't get it until I saw the answer. Some things click for some people, some for others. That's why 5 riddles are more fun than 1. :)

The first one is debatable. I think there are a lot more answers than just a coffin.

A tailored suit for the deceased?

Maybe and I considered your answer there but a Bib is often used by a toddler as well as a baby and I've seen them fight not to have it put on them. So they would know they are using it. I've also seen adults use a bib while eating messy meals like lobster. They choose to wear it so they also know.

Suit also can be worn by the living.. who may well know they are wearing it.

Got lucky and had heard 3/5 before and the other two were easy. Don't submit if I can't figure it out on my own.
