8 Winter(ish) Riddles - Christmas Community Event

Comben — Sat, 10 Dec 2022 12:36:00 GMT

Hope you are all managing to stay warm this Winter, it certainly feels like it's getting colder and my family are starting to drink more hot chocolate with the added bonus of mini marshmallows.

As some of you know I like to add a riddle game to the community events and this Christmas is no different so whether you've played before are a new player welcome to '8 Riddles themed loosely around Winter for the Christmas Community Event.'

Before we begin there are a few rules I want to add in order to help everyone feel included:

I will release one riddle at a time and reply to answers submitted - When a correct answer is received I will release the next riddle in the comments. (I will not be able to edit my original post to add the new riddles due to the O2 time constraints of editing a post)
Please only guess once in a row - To allow other to join in please only submit another guess or answer the new riddle if someone other than me has posted in between your last reply.
If the game is particularly slow (which could be the case due to having this event on a Saturday during the Football World Cup) please disregard rule 2 and feel free to submit a second answer in a row, this mainly applies if no other guesses have been received for at least 15 minutes.
I have tried to have put the riddles into a scaling difficulty, however at any point if you would like a clue please let me know in the comments so I can reply with a hint - Please bear in mind I will wait at least 15 minutes after a request of a clue in case someone else answers.
Hopefully you'll all enjoy this game, I believe all riddles to be solvable with thought so for the enjoyment of others please avoid using google or otherwise seeking out the answers just to post them here.

Thanks for reading, please find the first riddle below:

RIDDLE ONE:

I am cold and without a soul, if you find any warmth within me it will slowly kill me, who am I?

Don't forget to follow this threads comments to see the new riddles and play along because as mentioned they will be released one by one in the comments once the previous riddle is solved. (This is due to the maximum edit time of my original post)

As already mentioned anyone and everyone is welcome to participate, I will be here to help the game progress and hopefully we can all enjoy my addition to the Christmas Community Event.

Finally if this game goes past midnight, which it might do due to the time of the event, then I will pause it until midday on the 11th December - During these 12 hours feel free to guess/ ask for a clue but please note that I won't be around to monitor and update the next riddle until noon on the 11th December.

Good Luck!

Comben

I think that would be a Snowman, @Comben?

You are spot on pgn, well done. 👏The answer is indeed: A SNOWMAN

(Side note - I love the addition of a picture/ meme too)

RIDDLE TWO

I have lots of animals but I’m not a vet, I wear a suit but I’m not a businessman and I have a vehicle that moves very fast but it doesn’t have any wheels. Who am I?

I love this community, thanks so much for adding pictures to this thread, you are right MI5. 👏 The correct answer is: SANTA CLAUS

RIDDLE THREE

At Christmas time there is always extra treats, sweets and chocolate bars in the family house, you walk past the kitchen counter one day and there's 17 chocolate bars so decide take 3, how many do you have now?

Re: 8 Winter(ish) Riddles - Christmas Community Event

pgn — Sat, 10 Dec 2022 13:53:27 GMT

Logic dictates you have the 3 chocolate bars that you just took, @Comben.

Re: 8 Winter(ish) Riddles - Christmas Community Event

Comben — Sat, 10 Dec 2022 14:17:28 GMT

Correct again pgn 👏 - the stumbling block here was not to assume it's 14 (17 minus 3). So like you said, it makes the answer: THREE (The 3 you just took)

(Hahaha, love the picture and even more the message 'hidden' within the brand names 😂)

RIDDLE FOUR

When does Christmas come before Halloween?

MI5 and jonsie you are both absolutely right 👏 and I have to say I'm loving these picture answers to the riddle quiz, so thank you both for the correct answer of: IN A DICTIONARY

RIDDLE FIVE

A local weather reporter says the temperature is -1 degree on Monday, -2 degrees on Tuesday and 0 degrees on Wednesday, then says, Thursday will be twice as cold as the day before. What will the temperature be on Thursday?

Riddle 5

Minus 4 ? @Comben

Re: 8 Winter(ish) Riddles - Christmas Community Event

Cleoriff — Sat, 10 Dec 2022 14:39:17 GMT

RIDDLE 5

It will be 0 degrees @Comben

Re: 8 Winter(ish) Riddles - Christmas Community Event

Comben — Sat, 10 Dec 2022 14:39:25 GMT

TallTrees - I love the picture because it would be so cold, but unfortunately your answer isn't right.

Cleoriff - Spot on 👏 well done, it would be the SAME AS YESTERDAY (0 degrees, because zero doubled is still zero)

RIDDLE SIX

Seiko loves the cold and knows that south facing buildings are the coolest, so decides to move to a brand-new house where all her walls face south. Sitting in her new home a bear walk past her window. What colour is the bear?

Re: 8 Winter(ish) Riddles - Christmas Community Event

Cleoriff — Sat, 10 Dec 2022 14:36:19 GMT

Check my answer please @Comben

Re: 8 Winter(ish) Riddles - Christmas Community Event

TallTrees — Sat, 10 Dec 2022 14:38:06 GMT

Ah well I got caught by double thinking it out @Comben

Must have been my original thought 🤔

But will leave it to a other to guess it right now😄

Re: 8 Winter(ish) Riddles - Christmas Community Event

Comben — Sat, 10 Dec 2022 14:54:26 GMT

Thanks Cleoriff - I have edited my previous answer. 👍

TallTrees - It sounds like you have the correct answer now but thanks for leaving it to others. 😊

Re: 8 Winter(ish) Riddles - Christmas Community Event

TallTrees — Sat, 10 Dec 2022 14:43:37 GMT

Yes 0 😱

No problem 😊

@Comben

Re: 8 Winter(ish) Riddles - Christmas Community Event

TallTrees — Sat, 10 Dec 2022 14:48:10 GMT

Suppose it must be white @Comben

Re: 8 Winter(ish) Riddles - Christmas Community Event

Cleoriff — Sat, 10 Dec 2022 14:50:10 GMT

RIDDLE 6

The bear would be white as the house is on the North Pole

Re: 8 Winter(ish) Riddles - Christmas Community Event

Cleoriff — Sat, 10 Dec 2022 14:52:40 GMT

Great game but have to go now @Comben 👍
