The worlds first riddle!

Well, as for Croatian, there is no need to even think about it, because we don't have a single number that can be written only with straight line segments (JEDAN, DVA, TRI, CETIRI, PET, SEST, SEDAM, OSAM, DEVET, DESET)
Same goes for Serbian, and for Bosnian-Montenegrian variants. And for Macedonian.
Almost same for Slovene, only one number is made of straight lines - ENA (one) and it doesn't work.

The Question: How many boxes has Wendy used in total?

Whim;
"With trial and error I found 115 boxes." Very, very well done, far from easy.

By putting 8 boxes in a box, the total number of empty boxes increases by 8 - 1 = 7. If we call x the number of times that 8 boxes have been put in a box, we know that 11 + 7x = 102. It follows that x=13. In total, 11 + 13 × 8 = 115 boxes have been used.

Go to above average with 'River' .

The easy just got easier. (Except for number 6 which I think you have to be Chinese to answer) and no I didn't answer it!



6. When a songbird, enchanting.
When solo in a band, enduring.
When played at home, entertaining,
Tell me to what I am referring.


7. Who makes it, has no need of it.
Who buys it, has no use for it.
Who uses it can neither see nor feel it.

8. Whilst I was engaged in sitting
I spied the dead carrying the living.


9. Whoever makes it, tells it not.
Whoever takes it, knows it not.
And whoever knows it wants it not.

7. Who makes it, has no need of it.

11. A man wanted to enter an exclusive club but did not know the password that was required. He waited by the door and listened. A club member knocked on the door and the doorman said, "twelve". The member replied, "six" and was let in. A second member came to the door and the doorman said, "six". The member replied, "Three" and was let in. The man thought he had heard enough and walked up to the door. The doorman said,"Ten" and the man replied, "five." But he was not let in.
What should have he said

he must have answered 3

14. From the beginning of eternity
To the end of time and space
To the beginning of every end
And the end of every place.
What am I

the letter E

Twelve could be a thorn in your foot. Or various similar things.

Thirteen could be "eye."

I just got here, what's going on. Have there been continuous riddle contests I've been missing?

15... oh, "wholesome."

Lighter than what I'm made of,
More of me is hidden than is seen.
What am I

i think it's ice, made of water and when water freezes it expands and on the northpole icebergs are most of the time under the surface

Ice is nice.

16 is nothing

18 is time

19 I'm leaning towards train. I can justify it, but it doesn't seem to fit perfectly.

As for 20, my best guess is "lip." Because when you put it in the word "death" it spells "Deli path." And I don't know exactly what a deli path is, but I bet it smells GREAT!

Or I could say "a swamp." It smells better when a swamp finally dies.
