Thanks Renodox for keeping the thread alive on my request, when you were about to retire from it. You owe me this favour.  (nod)

[...]so how about some more modern or even futuristic riddles :)

Sounds good. I have (hopefully) more chances to guess the modern riddles. :)

Well, I thought of a riddle.

What number on a clock shows exactly how minutes it is till the next hour when the minute hand points to it?

CaptainD

I would think that would have to be ten?

Okay, to keep things going here are a couple I found... (debatable as to whether 1 and 2 are really riddles, but I'll try to find better ones later!)

1/ Why was Karl Marx buried at Highgate Cemetery in London?
2/ What odd number becomes even when beheaded?
3/ "At night they come without being fetched,
    And by day they are lost without being stolen."

Damn. I wanted to write '3' but I was on my mobile then and in a hurry, I wrote 2. (wtf)


Stupot

Okay, here are some 'modern' (:P)) riddles I've made up:

1. I can neither listen nor see
   Yet I speak the hearts out

2. What is it that you have,
   But you can't use it.
   Isn't it annoying that other than you,
   Strangers always use it?

3. Small and hard carrying a tail,
   Yet you will always see me trail

selmiak

1) mouth
2) your name maybe?

Adeel

#2 has been answered correctly, however, #1 is incorrect.

Adeel

Sorry for the delay.

"Speaker" is correct. #3 still remains to be answered, though.

Stupot

is #3 a mouse?  As in a computer mouse.  They are small and hard and if they have a tail in the form of a cable (unless they are wireless).  And you can see their trail by means of the cursor on your screen :-)

Adeel

Yes. #3 is Mouse! ;-D

More riddles please....
