Riddle me this

[Lisa Perez]

I can run but never walk. I have a mouth but never talk. I have a bed but
never sleep. I have a head but never weep.

(What is ) a river

Never read Oedipus, though. I heard it somewhere else.

Yep, that's the riddle of the sphinx. Retold in greek mythology and other mythologies as well. Very very famous and equally as old.

i'm gonna guess an egg that hatches, but that might be wrong because it's probably arguable that the little chick in the egg has bones and meat 3 days before it hatches...

whatever, i love riddles

A bucket is sitting out in the rain. If the wind begins to blow and rain starts falling at an angle, will the bucket fill up faster or slower, or will the rate of filling remain the same?

(a) Faster

(b) Slower

(c) Would fill at the same rate

[Astronouth7303]

either b or c.

[Melissa Nute]

I think C.

[Astronouth7303]

Right. C because the 'opening area' is the same.

I'm putting my money down on C.

I say C as well, but that almost seems too easy....hmmm...
