All is riddle, and the key to a riddle is another riddle” is a quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson, who also said, “Life is a succession of lessons which must be lived to be understood”.

Emerson's quote implies that knowledge and wisdom are gained through active participation in life, rather than just observation. He also encouraged people to be mindful of their surroundings and learn about people and how they impact others.

When I was typing APAD this morning, our backyard resident, a barrow owl named Barry kept calling.  I wondered what was the riddle in his mind (I assume it's a he, like everyone else here except me).

Alright, let's do something for fun, let's make the first day of 2025 a day of riddles (with answers 嘻嘻):

- What runs out when you push it?
Answer: Your luck.
Explanation: A play on the saying, 'don't push your luck'.

- What building has the most stories?
Answer: The library.

- What is there one of in every corner and two of in every room?
Answer: The letter 'o'.
Explanation: The word 'corner' has one 'o' in; the word 'room' has two 'o's in.

- What goes up but never comes down?
Answer: Your age.

- What disappears as soon as you say its name?
Answer: Silence.

- What question can you never answer yes to truthfully?
Answer: Are you asleep?

- What is always coming but never arrives?
Answer: Tomorrow.


All above are from online. But here's one from 西岛:
- What can make people laugh and cry at the same time?
Answer: Onion Puns 鬼脸

Please feel free to share riddles you have 加油

Happy New year to you all (with a red bean flower bread I made a few days ago)!
