What, no Riddle of the Sphinx yet?
I’ve always been fond of:
The person who makes me, doesn’t want me
The person who buys me, doesn’t need me
The person who uses me, doesn’t even know it
What am I?
Maybe not the hardest, but it’s a good one, and most people I ask, don’t get it very quickly.
I’m not sure how to spoilers the answer, so I’ll just give you time to guess the answer. It’s more fun that way.

The table doesn’t highlight how necessary the literal word ‘spoiler’ is needed after the 3 colons. Very confusing imo
Agreed, the first time I used it I think I edited my post 3 or 4 times before getting it right.

If you’ve never played Betrayal at Krondor it’s full of these treasure chests that you have to solve riddles to unlock. Here’s a few good ones:
Whoever has it is angry
Whoever loses it is angrier
Whoever wins it has it no more
!A Dispute!<
Brought to the table
Cut and served
Never eaten
!Cards!<
We love it more than life
We fear it more than death
The wealthy want for it
The poor have it in plenty
!Nothing!<
Thanks for sharing!
All the spoilers are visible for me 😔
Whomp sorry some lemmy apps don’t do spoiler tags from what I’ve read :<
Look at these equations:
1^3 = 1^2
1^3 + 2^3 = (1+2)^2
1^3 + 2^3 +3^3 = (1+2+3)^2
1^3 + 2^3 +3^3 +4^3 = (1+2+3+4)^2
Question:
Can it go on like this forever, is it always a true equation? If yes, why? If no, why?

Some android apps don’t honour spoiler tags (Boost) :( Feel free to link to your answer somewhere instead of spoiler tagging it if you feel extra nice :)
I’m using boost. I’ve just been scrolling very slowly.
Eternity app does not seem to handle the spoiler tags too.
Devinettes app has about 3 or 4 riddles that I haven’t been able to crack in 8 years.

It gives no answers or hints, just reports ‘correct’ if you type the right answer in.
I think if I tried that, it would only be a day or two before I went digging into the source code.
I think they are hashed
So due to the nature of it beeing riddles it is quite possible the answer is bugged and the hash wrong. But because nobody “knows” they have the solution nobody can say it is a bug.
