A jewelry box?

This strikes me as the kind of riddle where there are MANY answers, but only one of them can be correct. Which is unfortunate, because it becomes a guessing game rather than a thinking game.

Indeed, I am realizing this just now, so for the sake of keeping this going I'll just end this and tell you the answer: A circus.

So I guess it's up to the next person to post a new riddle.

Silence, obviously.

Great, now I have to think of one...

Um...

OK. Not so much a riddle, but it will stump a lot of people. My awesome twist on a classic.

You comes to a crossroads with two pathways, one of which leads to a spike pit and one of which leads to safety. There are two people at this crossroads. The first says that one of them always tells the truth, and the other says that one of them always lies. You are only allowed to ask them one question, so in your (almost) infinite wisdom, you ask 'What would the other person say is the pathway that leads to safety?' They both point to the left, and so you go to the right.

Then you fall into the spike pit, and die.

Why?

For a background check on the original, flick to the redguard section here.

They both always lie.

When the first one said one of them always tells the truth, that was a lie. When the other one said that one of them always lies, that was a lie too because they both always lie.

So the first one lied and the second one lied. When you asked them the question, they both lied again.

To point the direction the other one would point, they would have to point toward the safe path. They would have to lie about what the other person would already be lying about. And since the second person would lie and say the spike pit was the safe path, the first person has to say that the safe path is the spike path.

And the second person follows the same logic.

So yeh. They both always lie. That is my answer. _{Not that I have a riddle ready in case I'm right, rather than just waffling stupidly. =P}

@Revolverwolf Damn you beat me too it. XD

Congratulations! That's exactly right!

And that, my friends, is the real reason that Yugi worked out that Para and Dox riddle. Nothing to do with the double-headed coin rubbish that was created to prevent younger viewers' heads from exploding.

Your go!

Sorry, I fail at asking riddles. Someone else can get a free go to ask one without having to answer one.

A man was to be sentenced, and the judge told him, "You may make a statement. If it is true, I'll sentence you to four years in prison. If it is false, I'll sentence you to six years in prison." After the man made his statement, the judge decided to let him go free. What did the man say?

Yep you got it right and here is the reason behind it.

He said, "You'll sentence me to six years in prison." If it was true, then the judge would have to make it false by sentencing him to four years. If it was false, then he would have to give him six years, which would make it true. Rather than contradict his own word, the judge set the man free.

Life

yay

There is a common English word that is nine letters long. Each time you remove a letter from it, it still remains an English word - from nine letters right down to a single letter. What is the original word, and what are the words that it becomes after removing one letter at a time?

Startling. Then I think starling, staring,string, sting, sing, sin, in? And then I? Maybe?

You got it 100%

Sweet. Lets see...
2 fathers and 2 sons go fishing. They each catch a fish, and at the end of the day they have 3 fish. How is that possible?

There's only three of them, a grandfather, his son, and his son's son.

Right. Your go.

Sweet, hopefully this one won't fail...

If you eat me you die,
If you drink me you die,
If you breath me you die,
The rich need me,
The poor have me,
I am Holier than God,
I am mor Evil than the Devil,

What am I?

That was quick, your turn.

Alright I got another one, should be harder.

A man is found dead, in a room with a table, chairs, and 56 Bicycles all of which belonged to him. He was shot in the chest with a gun, so it must have been a murder. Why was he killed?

No he owned all the bicycles legally.
