Ok, I thought I'd try my hand at a simple yes/no/irrelevant type of riddle. (These things are surprisingly fun (thumbsup) ). Hopefully not as hard as other riddles.
A person has been excuted. The body is found in a torture chamber full of goolish sights. The person knew their executioner, but not very well. Why was this person executed? Who had them executed?
Yes/no/irrelevant type questions.
-
did the person commit a crime?
-
No. (But I'm tempted to say define a crime. :P)
-
was it death due to torcher?
-
Yes.
-
were they trying to extract information?
-
No.
-
did the person who ordered the torcher do it 'cause he enjoyed the pain of others?
-
Hmm. "Others?" I guess yes.
-
others = other people
is this a situation like in the story "The Man in the Iron Mask"?
-
Hmm, I think you have to be more specific on your last question.
-
is the dead guy similar looking to the guy who ordered this to happen to him?
-
irrelevant.
(I'm gonna say a definite yes to the enjoying the pain of "others" I think.)
-
are the two related?
-
No.
-
is the time period in which this happened relevant?
-
yes, somewhat.
-
is this an actual event?
-
no.
-
is this just something you pulled out of your ass?
-
yep. :P (silly riddle after all)
-
did it take place in the middle ages?
-
yes, that is about the right time setting.
-
was an Iron Madden used?
-
yes, quite likely. (If I can remember what one is :P )
-
(it is a human-shped container lined with spikes on the interior)
was the one who ordered it of royalty?
-
Yes!
-
was the dead man!?
-
No.
-
did the dead man steal anything?
-
no.
-
was there a crime commited at all?
-
no.
-
was the royal one a king?
duke?
knight?
count?
barron?
-
yes
no
no
no
no
-
does the country matter?
-
no. Hmm.... Well, maybe of slight interest.
-
was he the king of France?
-
No.
-
was the executioner related to the dead man?
-
No.
-
were they friends?
-
Hmm, interesting.
yes, but remember, they didn't know each other very well.
-
did the king order it because they had just become friends?
-
No.
-
was their friendship in anyway related to the reason he was torched and killed?
-
Damn, these questions are hard. :P I'm gonna have to start making up answers, lol.
yes
-
was it the reason the king chose the executioner?
the dead man?
-
no.
uhh, yes.
-
was it a form of punishment for the executioner?
-
no.
-
were all three male?
-
Bad question. (Not answerable as yes/no/irrelevant)
Actually, I think I need to change this to irrelevant. Sorry.
-
was the executioner male?
was the dead person male?
-
irrelevant
irrelevant
-
you really know how to screw up :P
aw well, bed time, answer this while I'm gone:
was there a good reason for the death?
-
Hmm. As tempted as I am to screw around with this question, I think I'll simply say no. This is a silly riddle after all.
-
is the gender of the king relevant (seeing as you were unsure about the first of the last 3 questions)
-
what gender can a king be? lol
did the persion exacuted try and overthrow the throne?
-
by any chance was this a game of chess?
-
Lol.
No
(Not yes/no question :P , not that you were really asking)
No.
No.
-
was there any profit for either the king or executioner to be gained from the man's death?
-
No.
-
No?
-
Yeah, you heard me.
-
did the king order the death 'cause he's a sadistic b****rd?
-
Was the person executed because he/she was a threat to the king?
-
so whats the punchline?
-
are my questions getting further from finding out the answer?
-
no, there was more reason than just because the king had the power.
no, no threat to the king
Not a yes/no type question. :P
no, reasons and intentions seems to be important.
-
Was the reason just by today's standards?
-
no. But then, there aren'y too many places with legalized execution left. But hey, you're an American, aren't you? :P
The king has absolute power after all. Any reason goes.
-
was the reason morally sound?
is that answer based on his morals?
-
no.
no.
-
is it religious ?
is it because of homosexuality
is it because he wanted to die?
-
no.
no.
no.
-
Was he the court jester?
Did he make fun of the King?
:lol:
Edit 1: Reason - Ah crap, this topic's two years old. Didn't notice until I posted. :blush:
-
2 years old?!
Hooman - I think CK9 will want the answer after so long ....
-
It's two years old, I forgot the answer. :P
-
That is incredibly anti-climactic...
-
Holy crao batman. I just read 4 pages of convoluted questioning and answering which approaches the brink of torture in and of it's self only to be rewarded with this ending... oh my...
-
meh, I got tired of this one.
Hooman, try to remember it :P
-
I vaguely remember what this was about. This was posted as a joke though. I sort of though it would have been answered much quicker. It's not quite so funny anymore as it was based on events that were current when this was first posted. If people really want to finish this off, then I'll continue answering questions once a take a refresher read through some other stuff.
-
I'll ask one.
Did some one else, close to the king, want the man dead?
-
No.
-
Do you remember the answer now?
Was he the court jester?
Did he make fun of the King?
will looking up the events of the time you posted this help us?
was it based on a major event?
-
yes, I believe I remember it all now. I know for sure who the murderer is, and it took me a moment to remember who the victim was and why.
no.
no.
yes. (maybe).
no.
-
is the continent/country relevent?
-
Was it believed he was involved in whitchcraft?
-
Was it done without any real reason?
Was the exicutioner human?
Did it have anything to do with a war?
-
is the continent/country relevent?
no/yes (slightly)
Was it believed he was involved in whitchcraft?
no
Was it done without any real reason?
... no. But you should be a little more precise than "real reason"?
Was the exicutioner human?
yes (but I should get picky about your spelling error here :P)
Did it have anything to do with a war?
no.
-
was the killed "man" really a man?
Was killing the executioner's regular job?
was the reason insane by today's standards?
Is the method significant?
Are you ging to guess at my riddle?
-
was the killed "man" really a man?
yes.

no.
was the reason insane by today's standards?
...yes. This is a silly riddle after all.
Is the method significant?
no.
Are you ging to guess at my riddle?
...no. I can't think of anything even close off the top of my head. I've looked at it two ot three times though.
-
Did the executioner's normal job involve killing in any way?
Was the killed person suspected of any crime?
-
If you don't know what the answer is, how can you say yes/no?
Did he happen to slip a lemon into a glass of orange juice with cheesecake on top?
-
Was it done while attempting to get information out of the man?
Was he from a different country?
Was it done because of his beliefs?
Was he the only one killed at that specific time?
-
Did the deceased, expect to be killed when he/she entered the torture chamber?
Did the deceased enter the torture chamber of his/her own free will?
Did the deceased only expect to be abused, but not killed?
Have we completely missed the point of this riddle so far?
-
Was the king jealous of the executee?

irrelevant.

no.

Did the deceased enter the torture chamber of his/her own free will?
no.
Did the deceased only expect to be abused, but not killed?
no.
Have we completely missed the point of this riddle so far?
no. (But I guess quite a few questions are pretty far off. I think some questions are a little too serious. This was meant to be pretty silly.)
Was the king jealous of the executee?
no.
-
Is the method of death (which tortue devices used) relevant?
-

no.

okay... so far we know:
The person was tortured to death for reasons not currently known (other than the king being a sadist). It was a time of castles and not guns. An Iron Maden was used (relance unknown). The executioner and victim were aquaintances, but didn't know eachother that well. This relation was the reason the killed man was chosen. This man was not a threat to the king. This was not the exectioner's normal job, and killing was not in his job skills.

Does it have to do with this:

-

Yes.
Edit:

Yes, I think you got the idea.
It was Evil King Hooman in the Dungeon with the Iron Maden.
(Evil King Hooman happens to live in Hooville).
CK was killed for his two ridiculous riddles, both involving cannibalism. Making me waste all that time on those riddles when I thought there was actually some kind of real answer to a real riddle rather than just some silly ficticious event that popped into his demented brain. You sick twisted person!
... so, theses two cannibals were eating a clown,
then one turned to the other and said, "This guy tastes funny".
-
Ah... finally some closure. Now the simple fact that this entire process took in excess of two years if Freakin Hilarious. God I love the opu....
-
lol, yeah, when it comes to getting him back for wasting your time, I think you got him back, with interest. it took him about 1 year, 1.5 months to get that...
-
Meh, I dun think so. I wasted his time TWICE, he wasted mine once
-
Does that mean we'll be seeing another riddle?
-
Hmm, that does reek of a challenge, doesn't it? ;)
-
Hooman, I have many riddles, some would waste time, some would bring up good topics of thought. Your next riddle can influence which comes up :P
