Arskittars Mind Games!

Hello one and all!

I am a big fan of mind teasers, especially riddles. In fact, I am sort of dangerously obsessed with them, and try to solve one whenever I get sent one. This does take me some time, as I am not actually very good at them. I get sent riddles, nearly every day from friends and family, and decided recently to inflict some of them, that I have been sent, that I have found, or that I have made, on you, the good members of MP.

As such, I have made a little game, just for you dear members of MP. You are all, I gather, rather clever, and so I wonder if you can solve my riddles!

I will post a riddle here, and you will then try and solve it, posting what you think to be the answer in this thread. Once one of you gets the correct answer, I will post it (along with how I got/came across the riddle), along with a new riddle!

Oh, and if you do not solve it, I will start making hints, and if you still don't solve it, then I will post the answer, after three days :P

And, to add to the sense of competition, I will keep a leader-board, in this post, updated each time one of you gets the answer correct!

So, if your interested, here is the first Riddle!

Solve the two riddles. The answers should be anagrams of each other.

(Thing 1)

You use me when you want to cook
For friends or family.
But, whether written down or not,
It's best you stick to me.


(Thing 2)

I like to think that I'm a skill,
Not just some old technique.
People do me to their ears,
Or nose, or tongue, or cheek.

You can always trust a dishonest man to be dishonest. Honestly, it's the honest ones you want to watch out for, 'cause you can never predict if they're going to do something incredibly stupid.

Well done Twitch!

Answer:
1: Recipe
2: Pierce

Oh, and I was given that one by my Mum, when (about 4-5 years ago) my sister wanted to get her nose pierced. It was mums subtle way of telling her not to. She eventually decided not to go for it, when she walked into the 'shop' and a guy walked out clutching his arm and crying.


Next Riddle:


I can go over your head,
Or be held in your hand,
I support almost anything, including sand.

What am I?

Is it a bucket?

I am going to give you that one, it's close, but not the answer I intended, when I wrote the Riddle, about 5 hours ago.

The answer I was looking for was 'Bag' but of the 5 people I tested it on, they all came up with bucket.

So, 1 point to Jorry!

Next Riddle:


I am there when you are sleeping,
I am there when you’re awake,
In fact I am all around you,
With every breath you take.

A creepy, Sting-like stalker. :o

And to be fair to Jorry and the other folks that answered bag, you really shouldn't put a bag on your head. :wacko:

Thank you Twitch!!

That one was easy to be honest....

I compiled that one this morning!

And next Riddle:

I can be created in different ways,
blowing, banging, drawing,
You would be amazed.
You take me for granted,
I am all around.
Without me floating in the air,
you wouldn't hear much sound.
I am woven into your favorite songs,
I introduce your favorite shows.
Don't look too hard for me,
I can come from under your nose.

What am I?

Close rusty! But Dremore was correct!

New riddle coming later today when I find/make one!

I will edit it into this post!

Next Riddle!


Six Letters have I,
Though I can be many words,
Some of my parts may seem quite absurd,
But try as you might,
You must get me right,
To prove your supposed intellectual might

Arsk, I am highly disappointed that a riddle with the word "songs" in it is "music." :( That is like defining a word with itself practically. But congrats to Demore for geting it righter than me.. ^_^

"Sound waves" is to science-like for a riddle :P

"Music" however:

I can be created in different ways, (However, so can sound waves)


I am woven into your favorite songs, (in a literature sense, weaving music makes more sense than weaving sound waves)


I introduce your favorite shows. (this one is the clincher, sound waves form music, but music introduces shows hence 'Theme music


However, well done Rusty, it's a good answer (just not the right one)!

Can anyone solve my next riddle?

Is the answer.. ahem... answer? *sunglasses moment*

If not, I'm stumped. :P

@ Rusty, I thought you would've got it, the main bit that made me think music, was making a tune out of breathing through my nose...
