Yep, it is "your name" that was fast! Ok, here is another one:

Lots of offspring, many wifes,
four legs, nine lives

A very easy one!

As to the others, I have no idea, I can make them up but not solve them!

A kitty cat! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Yep! That took all of 11 minutes! Wow, you are fast! Ok, another one

To eat my cheese you'd best be fast
if not this meal will your last

Another easy one.

A mouse (or rat) trap!

What about the Snow White one?
I say, how can we know what she served them NEXT when she hasn't served them anything to begin with! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
OK, I don't think that's an answer, just a statement.

Don't worry, Princess Tigerlily, there is definitely an answer [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

I'm going to take a wild susan 7 minutes?? [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Very close, but not quite it

Yep, It is a mouse or rat trap.
Hmm, for the Snow white one, could it be that she didn't, as she sat down with them? Just a guess.

Here is another:

I make a phone sing,
I'm known as a ding,
I fit round a finger,
A bell makes me linger.

There, easy by the third clue, but ME related and good.

No, she did. It is not a trick question.

I will hazard....a ring? [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Yep, a ring.

Hmm, *thinks* She served them the next course when they had finished the first one? Is it simple like that?

Wow, you are good at this Susan. Here is another one, see if you can take a bit longer and let others have a turn though Susan! Lol [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Pushed around everyday
I get revenge in my special way
Not by throwing a hefty punch,
But by running away
with your groceries and lunch

This one is funny, and not ME related.

Well, it's not quite that. It's a translation from Italian and "next course" is not quite right. Maybe try "the next food they ate"

Oh, Oh, I can answer that one!! But I won't.... [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Susan - can you tell me how you are so good at this? You've taken all my best ones and ripped them to shreds in seconds! Are you like "riddle genius" or something, or are you secretly Gollum and Bilbo in one? [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

That altered translation might help - do you want the actual food? Can I guess pudding and be wrong? [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

I don't know...maybe it's just the way my mind works. I can "think around corners", as it was phrased in a book I read recently, or something. I dunno....*shrugs*

No, it's not a type of food, it's the actual amount of time it took her to do it.
mmm, pudding [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Unfortunate that no one else is around to answer yours....

[ April 18, 2002: Message edited by: Susan Delgado ]

LoL, well, you are lucky anyway.
Hmm, then could it be that she served them it straight away as they only sat down to it, then she had to serve it to them before they ate it?
I am determined to solve this!

Ah, well...I do enjoy it

No, it's not "immediately". Would you like a hintlet? [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Yes please! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Do you realise that the last 11 posts have just been you and me Susan! [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]

Hey, not our fault that no other riddlers were around! [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Ok, Lady Bain's answer up there (7 minutes) was very close.

Hey Starbreeze: Is the answer to your riddle a grocery cart?

Shoot! I need to get to these sooner - I have known the answers to your last three or so, Starbreeze, but I keep getting beat to the punch!
Ah.... Susan, Susan....
A princess am I? Thanks, I don't know when I received that title.
I am still thinking about the Snow White one, perhaps a bolt of genius will strike me before I sign back on later tonight.
*sigh*

It's from Peter Pan. From the people who lived around the lagoon. I don't remember the name of the people or of the lagoon, but Peter Pan once rescued Princess Tigerlily from Capt Hook and was friends foreverafter with the people.

Honestly, I thought this was a very well known riddle....

Oh yes! I remember that character now!
It's been a while since I have seen any version of Peter Pan!

Also, I have heard this riddle before, I just don't think I ever heard the answer.

Ahhh. Well, I don't know what to tell you...so far Lady Bain has been closest

susan, is it 8 minutes?

No, it's not eight minutes. I'll say it again with a better, (but slightly wordier) translation

Snow White sits down and serves the dwarves a meal. How fast does she serve the next food they eat?

Worded that way it sounds as though it means how long till their next meal...
hmmm... but I am probably wrong...
With that interpretation it would be about 8 hours...
BUT.
My friend came up with this answer - they never get to the next course because Sleepy falls asleep during the first.

Anyway, that was his answer - I think that I am missing some wordplay within the riddle, or something.

No, it's still the same meal, and as far as I know, no one fell asleep [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
Well, the answer is slightly punnish...

I hate to say it, but I think I give up [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]
Here is a riddle I found, I thought I should try to contribute a little here:

Here on earth it is true, yesterday is always before today; but there is a place where yesterday always follows today. Where?

I'm sorry [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]
How do the rest of you feel? If I get more negatives, I'll post the answer tommorrow evening. In the meantime, I'll give one more hint, which may or may not help: what she's serving them is the next helping of the same course.

Is yours a dream, Tigerlily?

i give up too, susan..ill probably kick myself when u tell us the answer though.

Tigerlily, is the answer to yours a dictionary?

Yep, a grocery cart, or shopping trolley for UK citizens.
I'm sorry Susan, I'm afraid this is my last guess, if it isn't right I give up totally - I will say randomly 10 minutes. Don't know why and I know it is wrong, but I don't give up without a fight! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Yes, Bragolandune, the answer is a dictionary! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

*Slaps forehead with heel of hand* A dictionary! Of course! Talk about reading too much into it...

All right, I'll tell. I had no idea it would be so challenging.

The answer is: seven seconds

Could you give us an explanation Susan, now you've baffled us all into Mordor lol [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Yes, please explain it to me... my little Hobbit brain is not understanding [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

Oh wait!!!
Does it have to do with the fact that there are "seven" dwarves & it is the "second" part of the meal?

You got it, Tigerlily. There are seven of them and she's serving them seconds [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Woo-hoo
Too bad my mind didn't work that way while trying to solve it!
