contact lenses

Ok, you are on the right track thinking 'eyes'.
It could potentially 'see' you anywhere, as long as the very specific conditions are met.
Not spiritual, supernatural, or mechanical.

a mirror

And the correct answer is:
YOUR REFLECTION.
WOOT! WOOT!

Ok, I have a "hard one" that I heard years ago and not many people get it... the riddle has a "rule" I can only answer yes or no questions, but I'll eventually give a hint...

In the middle of a desert, there is a house
All of the doors and windows are closed
In the house, near a table, there are two skeletons,
water and some broken glass...
Near the house there are some train tracks..

What happened? (Only one "right" answer)

**RU Joe** · 01-23-2010, 10:43 PM

Well, obviously it had to have been:

**nikegirl2012** · 01-24-2010, 10:35 AM

lol, nice try.. no...

**Tails** · 01-24-2010, 10:41 AM

Laharl used his Overlord's Wrath.

**nikegirl2012** · 01-24-2010, 10:50 AM

lol no... ok first hint... not paranormal (or game/book/scifi) related

**JKool** · 01-24-2010, 10:57 AM

The two skeletons where fighting over who would get the water. They fought for so long they died of dehydration. A train passed by and knock over the glass.

**nikegirl2012** · 01-24-2010, 12:12 PM

pretty close, but skeletons fighting still paranormal

**DrunkN** · 01-24-2010, 12:20 PM

Two people were fighting over the glass of water, a train knocked it over, and they both died of dehydration.

**nikegirl2012** · 01-24-2010, 12:22 PM

close, but no

**zarny** · 01-24-2010, 03:12 PM

Two people were fighting over a drink of water, died of dehydraetion, and a train past by and knocked over the cup.

**nikegirl2012** · 01-24-2010, 04:34 PM

no, think a bit more outside the box

**Kugyince** · 01-24-2010, 05:32 PM

They starved because no food was present.

**DrunkN** · 01-24-2010, 06:34 PM

All right, I've got it.

A train came by and knocked the cup of water over, the people died of dehydration, and then the people started fighting over the water.

**nikegirl2012** · 01-24-2010, 08:27 PM

No... mmm... here's a hint...

**RU Joe** · 01-25-2010, 03:54 PM

In the middle of a desert, there is a house
All of the doors and windows are closed
(An automobile production facility)

In the house, near a table, there are two skeletons,
(the unfinished frames of two cars close to the production line)

water
(used to clean certain parts during production)

and some broken glass...
(industrial waste, possibly defective windows)

Near the house there are some train tracks..
(to ship the cars to dealerships elsewhere)

**nikegirl2012** · 01-25-2010, 05:13 PM

now that's out of the box but no... it's more simple than that

**tanc24** · 01-25-2010, 06:08 PM

@ JG - That answer was "right" in my book. Nice one!

@ Nike - The two "skeletons" aren't dead. They had hitched a ride on the train and found shelter in the house. They fought over the water and ended up spilling the water and breaking the glass. They are frail and emaciated, and in big trouble.

Here's the riddle again for ease of reference:

In the middle of a desert, there is a house
All of the doors and windows are closed
In the house, near a table, there are two skeletons,
water and some broken glass...
Near the house there are some train tracks.

**mario90s** · 01-25-2010, 06:38 PM

The skeletons are probably rail road workers, or train members. They wanted to get a drink so they stopped, but they fought over who gets the drink, but someone must've locked the door and then told the guy who works the train no one was left, so train left without the workers, one of the workers must've dropped the drink, and they died, probably cause no one found them or no one cared.
and that old house is probably an actual abadoned station.
Is that right?

**nikegirl2012** · 01-25-2010, 06:44 PM

Ok... maybe with a bit more help you'll get it...

**mario90s** · 01-25-2010, 06:51 PM

Maybe, it was Jekyll and Hyde! Jekyll took the glass that was full of the potion, (Explaining the glass dropping and that you said wasn't water.) turned into Mr. Hyde, locked the two guys in, got on a train and left.

Or, two locked themselves in, one guy drank posion, the guy fell, the other guy tried to get out but was locked in, so he jsut sat there, until someone rescued him.

**tanc24** · 01-25-2010, 07:06 PM

You gave away too many spoilers.

The skeletons are fish bones. There was a fish bowl on top of the table, the train went by, knocked it off and they died.

Good riddle! If my answer is right, I pass my turn to anyone who wants it.
