Riddles

Let's give each other some riddles to solve. I wrote this one for a forum I found, but it turns out the last post was from 2008 so I decided not to waste it. >The maiden declares war with the fish. Her birthday is 18/04/1710 >The fish loves his scales. His birthday is 19/02/1407 >The scales choke a goat. Their birthday is 17/09/1108 >The goats body was cast into the sea by some twins. What was his birthday? >The twins birthdays are on the 8th of may. What's their favourite film? Remember to spoiler any answers.

>>1913 >Now, where could my pipe be?

There's not 17, 18, nor 19 months in the year. Goat's birthday: 19/09/1108 You gave it to use Favourite Movie: None, movies had not been invented yet.

This is a good riddle, OP, I'm intrigued. The thing about homespun riddles (in my experience) is that it's often hard to make sure they're Goldilocks-difficulty (not too easy nor ridiculously difficult). >>2198 DD/MM/YYYY is a pretty common way of formatting the date, mate.

>>2196 Hmm, thats a damn good riddle. >>2198 17/09/1108 is the birthday of the scales. Conceptially dumb I know, just roll with it. Also, the year of the twins birth isn't actually stated. Could be the 8th of may 17'776 for all we know. >>2199 Hey, thanks. I think ridiculous difficulty in riddles can often be attributed to tham being vague and arbitrary, so I've tried with this one to make a definite logical path to solving it. Good luck!
