Default A Riddle

What is greater then God,
more evil then the Devil,
the rich need it,
the poor have it,
and if you eat this, you will die.

:thinking:

A man is trapped in a room (four walls and a door) with nothing but a traditional bed, a calendar, a piano. He must eat something, drink something, and get out of the room through the locked door. How does he do it?

if it's a stupid riddle he could use the piano keys to escape and eat the dates off the calender...but I don't know what he drinks...but it has to do with the bed...the only thing I can think of is beds have springs...he could drink from the springs...but that makes this the worst riddle ever...I hope I am wrong

I'm going to give this one a shot...


















the man can eat the *dates* from the calendar
drink from the *springs* of the bed
and open the locked door with a *key* from the piano

how'd i do?

You are all correct. Here's an even more "out of the box" riddle.

A man is standing in a room with no windows or doors. All he has is a mirror and a board. How does he get out?
