the man had applied for a job as a teltograph operator. in the noise was a morse code saying, "if you can hear this walk into the office"
here is another:
A man saied single-handedly around the world in a small boat. Yet he was always in sight of land. How?

(as a refence to me, page 23)

morse code huh welcome to 1960

The man was sailing around antarctica, that one was easy

dang.

alright, next one:
YEsterday, i went through a book, which i had already readm in a peculiar manner. after i finished a page, i flipped to the next page and rotated the book 180 degrees. after that page, i rotated the book 180 degrees and then flipped to the next page, rotated the book 180 degrees again, and continued in this fashion until i was done with the whole book. what was going on?

MORSE CODE???????? What do you have there, an 1897 riddle book???????? Cheese whiz! No wonder no one got it for ages.

it's hard to explain what I'm thinking, but it's how the book opens... instead of horizontally like normal, it opens vertically, so you gotta flip the book around to see the back side of the page.

the caster of shadows
the giver of light
unbuilt in the morrning
and built at night

what am i

teh sun

nope dont build the sun my friend

the moon

I thought you meant it in the sense of it building up... as in at night time, it starts to build its way back up to the sky and then in the day, it'll work its way back down again...

a stretch, but it's all I had

Crest: a lightbulb?


no mog, i don't have an old riddle book, it is a book with a lot of riddles and other things in it(there isn't just riddles in it)

First we need to defing when night and day occurs. Give us the time of day when you consider day starts please For us living up north, light or darkness isnt a factor you can go by when estimating the time of day. Summers the sun nerver set and winters it never shows up for example
The moon is"up" even daytime TR, how else would solareclipses be able to occur.

a fire.
a campfire, or pit fire is typically made (built) just before dark, burns over night, and must be unbuilt in the morning. (now, unbuilding it might be as simple as poring water over it, if its mostly ashes, but you get the idea.)

Well in our area we dont let fires out come day, at least not wintertime when its both pitch dark and cold even daytime
But I guess for continentals that might be a valid solution to the riddle

ector has it campfire good job


fast as sound
slow as time
you will know my name
for it does rhyme

Lod,
yes the moon is always orbiting the earth day or night, but
in the northern hemisphere a full moon will always occur around sunset and the wanning moon will always occur in the morning hours.

i don't know the anwser TR, but i can almost guantee that the anwser isn't Lod...

Choirsinger,
I can almost guarantee that the answer to the new riddle isn't Choirsinger either, but Lod questioned my logic for my answer to the previous riddle and by gosh he is wrong and I just thought I would let him know he is wrong.
