Yes, of course. You could've at least waited a while, or posted the answer on my account page.

OK, I found an interesting one: Brad stared through the dirty soot-smeared window on the 22nd floor of the office tower. Overcome with depression, he slid the window open and jumped through it. It was a sheer drop outside the building to the ground. Miraculously, after he landed he was completely unhurt. Since there was nothing to cushion his fall or slow his descent, how could he have survived the fall?

Either it was the first floor window or there was a ledge the floor below.

He fell on to a hill that reached the 22nd floor. Or, since there was soot, it was chimney of another building?

016bramble, i dont know what YOUR getting at, but what i know, is the riddle of the sphinx. Whar walks on 4 legs in the morning, 2 legs in the afternoon, and 3 legs at night? Its man, the morning is early life, afternoon is when they are an adult, and at night is when they are old. As a baby, you crawl, 4 legs. When your an adult, you walk on 2 legs, self explanitory. When your old, you use a cane, and that is the 3rd leg. So yeah, i dont know what your getting at, but it seemed like a messed up version of this.

Okay, I'll give you the answer if you want. I did all of my required research before I made this up, so...

Either it was the first floor window


I'll admit, I was stupid.

You were just negligent of the facts, I guess.
there was a ledge the floor below.
That would count as something to cushion his fall.
there was a window cleaners elevator outside and he landed on it (i dont know exactly whats their right name is).
That is, again, something cushioning his fall. The funny thing is the answer (DBLACKSTAR got it right) is that "Brad got sick and tired of cleaning windows, so he opened the window and jumped inside.".

I have to dash, so I'll be back with another riddle later.
Oh, and
I'll give you the answer if you want
: yes, we want.

Yeah... NO. He even said, and I quote:

New riddle.

Who walks on 3 legs in the morning, 2 legs at noon, and 4 legs in the evening.

Hint: this riddle has not been posted. The answer is not "man"

It's not man, but if it was it could refer to a tricycle, a bicycle, and a car.

That's a clever idea! However, it is not correct.

Here's a tip: the riddle asks who, not what.

If the next time I come, more than 50% of the comments ask for the answer to my riddle, I will give it to you. Please do not guess and ask for the answer in one post. Please do not post twice regarding to this riddle. End of line.

@016Bramble

I have a feeling that it's making fun of someone famous, but that's just a hunch. I don't know (or care) enough about famous people to know any of them, however.

So, my guess is, umm, pending. We'll say that, and I'll get back tomorrow when I have time.

Benjamin Button
Wow. If that's the answer, I'm impressed, 'cause that'd be one sneaky riddle, considering the hidden reference and the use of a movie character. Then again, 016Bramble mentioned research...
Even if it isn't (in which case I plead with you again, 016Bramble to let us know what the answer is), though, it sure is a pretty good guess.

Yes, yes it is.

Congrats, thaboss! You just got the riddle!

Then again, 016Bramble mentioned research...


Yes, I did. I needed to do research because I had little to no idea if the answer to my Backwards-Sphinx riddle I'd made up was correct. I'd only heard very little of Benjamin Button, so I looked him up.

I'll be back with another homemade riddle soon, so don't be mad if one comes to my head and I double post. ;P
