A Contest For Newbies

Leonard Beagle · Post by **Leonard Beagle** » 16 years ago

Well, besides Simhorseracing, another one of my passions is riddles. We've got a group of friends who will try to one-up each other while out at our local 'haunts'. We'll spend an entire night trying to figure 1 riddle. Yeah, we're hopeless.

So, I'll bring the game here.....

What can you win? I've got no fantastic horses in my stable, so I'll offer 2 horses!! Again, they aren't great horses, but they should pay for themselves with proper placement.

Also, much thanks to Gary Cooper, he's offered a free breeding to Gambit as an additional prize.

How to play? Ask YES or NO questions only! I can only answer YES or NO or IRRELEVANT. Irrelevant means just that, it doesn't matter. Pay attention to the questions that get a yes or no response! I will give hints as I see fit, but do expect a little 'thinking' on the participants part! The first hint: BE AS SPECIFIC AS YOU CAN WITH YOUR QUESTIONS!! If you think you have an answer, start your message with 'ANSWER:', then follow up your answer with the reasoning for the answer.

Tough? Yes.
Fun? Hopefully.

If you've heard this riddle before, be so kind to police yourself, and let others play along. Not a Newbie but would like to play? Send me a PM......

Hopefully it'll be fun! Here it is:

A man is driving home at night. Through his rear-view mirror, he notices flashing lights and hears blaring sirens. He pulls over, and the vehicles pass by. When he gets home, he goes inside, turns on his radio, goes upstairs, turns on the light, and commits suicide. Why?

Well, seems I have a fan of riddles on the board with me. Gary Cooper is playing along by PM, but more importantly, he's offered an additional prize to the one who gets the answer to the riddle. As an aside, once he gets it correct, he can help answer questions with me.

Gary has offered a free breeding to Gambit. Thanks so much Gary!!

Does this involve an incident in which the man/driver felt guilty about? (therefore commiting suicide)
