Yeah, I think he's going to need bucket loads to get this competition rolling. I'm trying to think of some decent ones myself but I'm having difficulty; I've never been great with riddles though I'll give this comp my best shot as it sounds great fun.

@Garigari-kun: Sorry to disappoint, but no. I posted the solution earlier.
In response to suggestions I'm going to vary the contest slightly and have Kairin post all the riddles and solution updates to a separate locked thread. I'll let you know which thread closer to the time. Still need a few more riddles before we can begin; I've got quite a few now but not enough from different people. Thanks to everyone who has submitted so far. Edit: Please remember when submitting a riddle: the answer needs to be a URL to part of the forum / site. I've had about 7 riddles that were not usable, despite being really good riddles, because they ignored the need for an animesuki based URL answer! |

Well, so I have some ideas and am still working on my riddle, but before that I want to be sure:
If my riddle is accepted and then used can I go ahead and answer it? But wouldn't it kill all the fun then? But if I can't answer my own riddle it'd mean I'd lose a chance at solving riddles (well only 1/20 but still), that's no fun either. So...? I prefer solving to creating riddles so I don't really know.

The submitted riddles go up against the forum as a whole but you cannot answer your own riddle (as you say that would be pointless). If your riddle is hard enough to not be solved in two weeks, you get the point instead. Yes, those submitting riddles are still at a slight disadvantage, but that's why you get a small reward (I think I said it was 25 or 50 reputation points, have to check the post) regardless of the outcome simply for having your riddle selected for the contest.
Edit: Re-read the first post and realised I hadn't actually said what I meant. I've corrected it. Kairin has posted another sample riddle in the riddles thread for you all to try while I collect submissions for the contest proper. I think it is a very easy one so shouldn't take you too long.
