Happy Summer to you all and Welcome to my Addition for the Community Event.

 

8 Riddles on the 8th of the 8th at 8:08pm (Loosely Themed Around Summer)

 

I love all sorts of riddles and enjoy looking for patterns and connections in things such as all the 8's in today's date and time. I now aim to share some of these riddles with you, which I've curated around the theme of 'summer', so hopefully you'll join in with a few guesses or even ask for a clue if there is a partially challenging riddle.

 

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

  1. 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)
  2. 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.
  3. If the game is particularly slow (which could be the case due to having this event in the evening) 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Hopefully you'll all enjoy this game, I believe all riddles to be solvable with thought so for the fun of others please avoid using google or otherwise seeking out the answers just to post them here.

 

Thanks for reading the first riddle will be released below at 8:08pm...

 

RIDDLE ONE: Individually I’m very small but mix me in a bucket with some water and you can make a castle…. What 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)

 

Anyone and everyone is welcome to participate, I will be here to help the game progress but as this is my first ever event please go easy on me and hopefully we can all enjoy my addition to the Summer 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 9th August - 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 9th.

 

Good Luck!

Haha, Mi-Amigo I loved your comment about the plane riddle.  ✈️  

 

Well done again to BobM, you are correct - IT'S THE LETTER 'U'

 

And close behind Cleoriff you were also correct. Jonsie and Mi-Amigo I think you may have got there but just needed a little longer. Thanks all for playing along so far, considering the time we started this has been more successful than I even hoped.

 

RIDDLE SIX

What do turtles, eggs, and beaches all have in common?

(Potentially a couple of answers here but I’m looking for a specific one)

@jonsie  but seeing the other two answers, I'm probably wrong 😂

Wow you are all so quick and beating me in marking the answers.

 

Cleoriff - Although technically right this is not the answer I'm looking for - Because in your example a beach can't lay an egg on a turtle or an egg can't turtle a beach. 😝

 

BobM and Mi-Amigo you are both correct with: SHELLS

 

Unlucky Jonsie, hopefully you can get one before the end, but I agree everyone is so quick tonight.

What’s the answer to this this cryptic clue? Ban    ana

As I didn't understand your comment, I'll just go with 'technically you're right' 😂
