No, this is not a Batman thread and no, The Riddler is not the villain for the new movie. This a thread for riddles, brain teasers, and the like. No real rules here other than if you're going to answer someone's riddle, quote them then put the answer in spoilers. I'll start it off.
Next riddle:
Final riddle:
Try and answer (without googling the first couple words of each riddle).
A man is at a graveyard crying over a grave. A priest comes up to him and says 'What bereaves you?' This is the response the crying man gave. 'Brothers and sisters, I have none. For this man's father is my father's only son'
How are the dead man and crying man related?
Next riddle:
You have a liter and two pieces of string – that’s all. These two pieces of string will burn for 1 hour each, although the strings burn at different speeds at different times in the rope.
So if you were to light one end of the string it would take an hour to burn through the rope; however, the half way mark on the rope won’t necessarily be ½ hr (it may burn quickly initially, then slowly burn near the end).
Your goal is to time 45 minutes using the lighter and the two pieces of rope
Final riddle:
Three brothers in an endless race.
A family Marathon.
The first is short and fat and trudges slowly on.
The seond is tall and thin and keeps a steady pace.
The third is like the wind, speeding through the race.
"For though he's surely number 1." the other brothers say, "He's second in a way."
Why?
Try and answer (without googling the first couple words of each riddle).

"A baby" is the answer to all three, depending on how many limbs you cut off

But that's probably not the answer.
your = belonging to you
their = belonging to them
there = not here
they're = they are

Also you have 30 seconds to answer this or I'm blowing up a busy intersection in New York.
oh goddammit
ONE, IT'S THE GUY!
This riddle would have made more sense when Day9 told it if he had explained initially that the string burns at different rates on different parts of the strings, and thus the point on the string the flames are at is totally unpredictable except right when you first light it and when it reaches the end.
I'm afraid you're too late.

I want to punch it
Punching is the best way of solving riddles.
Some goddamn magic door giving you trouble when you wanna loot the tomb?
Hit it some.
Also I always laugh at the mental image of this polygamist dragging his 7 wives around who are each carrying 392 meowing, hissing, clawing cats in 7 sacks.
That guy's a fucking sociopath someone call the authorities.
