10-Dictated

[jimfromit]

Saay I've got a fabulous idea whilst we're waiting for the next "crazy" thing to happen around here...a brain teaser!

Lets see which one of you brainiacs can solve this riddle the quickest.

For some I go fast
for others I'm slow.
To most people, I'm an obsession
relying on me is a well practiced lesson.

Go on...a little intellectual stimulation hurts nobody.

Time. Perhaps a clock?

[jimfromit]

Bravo, you get an extra star for the quickness of your answer.

Although lets make it our little secret…don’t want to ruin the fun for the other players now do we?

[hullo_sweetie]

[If there's one thing she understood, it was time]

I won't say a word. I'm sure you'll get some interesting answers.

[moonlightmagician]

I thought you said this was a riddle for brainiacs. That's a riddle for babies.

[loves_osaka]

...That's so simple I don't want t' bother with it.

[jimfromit]

Gosh you're just a poor sport aren't you?

[jimfromit]

[Of course he's setting the bar low...he just doesn't have a high opinion of you all.]

Ambitious aren't we?

You know if you ask me nicely I could give you another one.

[jimfromit]

I do hope so.

[moonlightmagician]

So did you mean it was a riddle for brainiac children? Because any self respecting adult should be able to come up with the answer in no time at all.

I doubt you could come up with something I would consider a challenge. [ Excuse him, he's a brat when he hasn't gotten enough sleep. ]

[jimfromit]

Annd the mystery as to why you're a virgin doesn't seem like such a mystery anymore.

Go on then…prove you can handle the simple ones before I move you up to big boy level.

[optimystic]

A car. [she says it quickly, because... well, she's more concerned with getting the fast answer award, haha]

dictated and placeholder

[inafadingcrown]

Time, clearly. [It's answered off-handedly, as if she's dictating into the journal while occupied with more difficult matters (she is).]

[moonlightmagician]

...Why was that ever a mystery? The fact that I'm seventeen should be reason enough.

If you'd been paying attention you would know that I did answer your riddle but I guess I ruffled your feathers a little too much and it passed right over your head. Maybe this time you'll get it.

[loves_osaka]

How am I a poor sport for not wanting to waste my time somethin' so easy? Unless ya've somehow concluded that I couldn't get it- in that case let me rest yer mind by sayin' without even thinkin' about it- it's time.

[modernholmes]

If you're going to go the effort of posting a riddle, you could at least make it interesting.

[jimfromit]

Goodness aren't you talented?

Answered correctly without even breaking a sweat.

[jimfromit]

Have you ever thought that maybe I'm looking beyond the actual content of the riddle?

[jimfromit]

Ohhh sorry.

A good effort and I can see the reasoning behind it but it’s not the answer.

Never mind, thank you for playing.

[jimfromit]

For a great detective such as you maybe it is a little simple.

But if I made it too tricky then the slower kids would complain...can't have that now can we?

[jimfromit]

Ohh I’m sorry my mistake.

I should have put up a disclaimer stating Judges will not accept the answer in the form of snotty teenage backchat

My bad. However for the sake of moving this charming conversation forward I'll overlook that...well done.

Would you like the big boy puzzle?

[youhavebeenflynned]

I believe the answer to your riddle is "Time", mate. [Smiles]

[moonlightmagician]

Well, hopefully you'll learn from your mistake. [ Doesn't even react to being called a snotty teenager. ]

Why not, I don't have anything better to do.

[inafadingcrown]

Hardly. It was a rather simple riddle on a subject which has often occupied my thoughts. [Time is an interesting subject for immortals.] But I thank you all the same.

[modernholmes]

Assessing the riddle-solving ability of the residents here? It's been done before. And a riddle that simple won't require much skill.

[optimystic]

What? Why can't it be the answer? It fits the criteria.
