    Okay, I have a ton of bullets, so I'll set up a contest. I'll ask a riddle, and whoever guesses the answer first wins 29 bullets. Please don't cheat by looking for the answer on the internet. If you've heard it before, then lucky you! I'll try to get less well known ones. Please don't repeat answers that others have said, as the first one will win anyway.

    There'll be a new riddle every time the previous one is answered correctly.


    Okay, so Riddle #1: Name an eight letter word that has kst in the middle, in the beginning, and at the end.

    Got it in one, Wolve_NZ! It's a grammatic riddle: "in" at the start, "kst" in the middle, "and" at the end. Enjoy your thirty bullets!

    An inkstand is a small pot which holds ink, for old-fashioned pens.


    Riddle #2: It is greater than God and more evil than the devil. The poor have it, the rich need it and if you eat it you'll die. What is it? (This one is easy!)

    Okay, this is ridiculous, you guys are too good. Time to get some harder riddles! :)

    Thirty bullets for you, Boris. The answer is indeed "nothing".


    Riddle #3: What English word retains the same pronunciation, even after you take away four of its five letters?

    Ah, sorry, 5% gets taken by the forums each time bullets are donated, that's why that happened. I'll change it to 29 in the first post. Thanks for telling me that.

    Yes, Darkbringer has it! Nice one, enjoy your 29 bullets.

    So it was "Queue" and "Q"

    Again, you guys are too good. I'm going to have to bring out the big guns! My brother has a book of very very hard riddles, so be prepared. But in the meantime, 29 bullets to Boris, and yet another easy one:


    Riddle #5: What walks on four legs in the morning, two legs at noon, and three legs in the evening?

    Again, don't look the answer up, try to figure it out.

    You crawl on all four when you are born then walk on two at adult and when you are old you walk with cane.

    Strelok has it. It's actually an old Greek riddle, I think with Oedipus and the Sphinx?


    Riddle #6: Two fathers and two sons go fishing. They catch three fish. When they get home they each eat an entire fish. How is this possible?
