A man was lying dead, surrounded by 53 bicycles. Why was he murdered?
If you haven't heard this one before, feel free to make a guess by leaving a comment. You may also ask me "yes" or "no" questions in the comment section.
NOTE: The correct answer has been guessed. See the comments section for the answer. But I'll keep my clues up anyway, just for fun. Here they are:
Obviously these were not ordinary bicycles. And (you probably already knew this) the number is significant.

ReplyDeleteI'm not reading the other comments (I'm typing with my left eye closed). I just had to tell you I love the riddles. I'm terrible at them, but I think they are fun. I'm sending my oldest ds here tomorrow am. Hopefully he'll have better success than I. :)
ReplyDeleteok... ok... I give...whay was he murdered?
ReplyDeleteHa! I'm not convinced that easily to give up my secrets. I tell you what -- since this one is harder, I'll add some clues to the post itself, Then you will have to ask some "yes" or "no" questions to figure it out.
ReplyDeleteI didn't answer because I've gotten so many others right before. The bicycles must be playing cards. But since there are 53 of them instead of 52, he must have had an ace up his sleeve or something, and so was killed by someone else at the table, whom he was cheating.
ReplyDeleteYes, Gigi Lynn, you're correct! You really have a gift for riddles. I've really stumped people with this one. I guess some people forget about the Bicycle brand of playing cards.
ReplyDeleteHave you made up any riddles yourself?
No, I can't make up riddles. Nor can I tell jokes! But yeah, I'm good with figuring out word puzzles, seeing things alternate ways. I used to read riddle books like crazy growing up, and my father and brother were always trying to stump me.
ReplyDeleteHa Ha...I guess I need to start thinking out of the box more. LOL
ReplyDelete:)De ok..hit me again!!
ok so listen tell me if u agree, bicycle is the name of a deck of cards rite... and there are 52 cards in a deck but he had 53, so he had the extra joker card, he cheated O_o is that rite?
ReplyDeleteAndria,
ReplyDeleteYes, that's right. He cheated at cards. I suppose the card could be an extra joker or an "ace up his sleeve" or something else. The key is that there are 53 and everyone knows that is not the correct number.
the bicycles were not bikes, but cards. he cheated
