Thursday Morning Riddle

Thursday, September 2nd, 2010

I’m the list of top songs that have charted the best;
From a bottle of malt, the amount you ingest;
I’m the third point in tennis; the winks in a rest;
And a hint is below if you haven’t yet guessed.

What am I?

I’m a gathering useful for sewing a quilt;
I’m an insect with friends that a honeycomb built;
I appear on The Daily Show played to the hilt;
And a contest where spellers are spelling full tilt.

Who am I?

Thursday Morning Riddle

Thursday, August 19th, 2010

I’m a series of wins that’s uncommonly rare;
I’m a light-colored strand dyed in dark-colored hair;
I’m a line in the sky caused by lightning-bolt flare;
And to run out in public while totally bare.

Who am I?

Thursday Morning Riddle

Thursday, August 12th, 2010

I’m a character known by a well-defined trait;
What you say that you watch when you’re watching your weight;
I’m an action-primed doll; how Olympians skate;
Or a shape that they trace, like the numeral eight.

Who am I?

Thursday Morning Riddle

I’m a magical feat caused by legerdemain;
I am dirty when found in a vicious campaign;
I’m the cards in a round that you try to obtain;
And the threat that some Halloween greetings contain.

Who am I?

Thursday Morning Riddle

Thursday, July 29th, 2010

I’m a language or history many can claim;
I am knowledge or sense when you all have the same;
I’m a non-scientific vernacular name;
And the lack of a title, or similar shame.

Who am I?

Thursday Morning Riddle

Thursday, July 22nd, 2010

I’m the pixels per inch that a screen can display;
A December-made promise that’s broken by May;
I’m a point for debate; the last act of a play;
And what organizations can vote to convey.

Who am I?

I’m an action symbolic for fashion or peace;
I’m an off-hand remark, or prepared press release;
A description a witness might give to police;
And a bank-issued letter of balance increase.

Who am I?

Thursday Morning Riddle

Thursday, July 8th, 2010

I’m the sound when a window is struck by a ball;
A computer malfunction; a stock market fall;
I’m to stay with a friend; or to just hit the wall;
And attending where you’re not invited at all.

Who am I?

Thursday Morning Riddle: Flashback

Thursday, July 1st, 2010

The three riddles are recycled, but the single answer is new.

I’m the first in the spectrum that split light creates;
In the ledger, my presence a loss indicates;
I’m far left in the East, but I’m right in the States;
And the Hanrahan prefix in stories by Yeats.

I’m the fur on a chick; on a chicken, the beak;
I’m routine on a cab; on a sub, I’m unique;
In my pages, I’m numbered; in news, I’m oblique;
And I’m often accused of a cowardly streak.

I’m a grass trimmed for putting; I’m hugging a tree;
I’m a party where some on the left might agree;
I’ve a lack of experience; jealous, I’ll be;
And I’ve heard it ain’t easy for frogs being me.

Who am I?
