Tread on the living, they make not a mumble.

All the Men

One night four men sat down to play;

They played all night 'til break of day.

They played for gold and not for fun

With separate scores for everyone.

When it came time to square accounts,

All men had made quite fair amounts.

Can you the paradox explain,

If no man lost, how could all gain?

RealJohnGillman

They're musicians, playing instruments, reading different scores (sheet music). They were all paid by either listeners or whoever had them play.

With pointed fangs and in plain sight, my bloodless victims are bound by my bite. What am I?

EDIT: Anyone wanna try this for a spell?

I am heavy forward, I weigh a lot. But when I am backwards I'm certainly not. What am I?

EDIT: Can do a third and final to stroke your spinal?

For some I cause joy, for some I cause strife. Treat me well and I last for life. What am I?

All the teas....

tea GIFGiphy

Two girls went to dinner together and both ordered iced tea. One girl pounded down five of them in about a minute, and the other took her time drinking one.

The girl who drank one died, while the girl who drank five survived. However, all of the drinks that were served turned out to contain poison.

Why did the girl that drank more iced tea survive?

Bullseye61

The poison was in the ice.

Windowless....

There is a windowless room with only a single door. Inside the room is a lamp, when the lamp is on no light escapes the room. Outside the room are 3 switches one of which operates the lamp. You can use the switches in any order any number of times. The door can only be opened once and after you enter the room you can immediately know which switch turns on the light. How is it possible?

Agarlis

Turn on the first switch, wait a few minutes.

Turn the first off and the second on.

Go into the room. If the light is on, it's the second switch. If it's off, touch it. If it's hot, it's the first switch, and if it's cold, it's the third.

To Sleep

The maker doesn't want it.

The buyer doesn't use it.
The user doesn't know it.

Not the 'best' but a fun one: A coffin.

What is it?

It is the beginning of eternity, the end of time and space.

It is the start of every end, the end of every place.

What is it?

I love this one because it is so simple but some people have struggled with it for days lol. It works best when spoken out loud rather then written out. Seeing it written makes it easier to solve because the answer to the riddle, is contained within the riddle itself.

Trump Unveils Photo Of 'Newly Revamped' West Wing Entrance Makeover—And Critics Have Some Thoughts

President Donald Trump was criticized after sharing a picture of the latest update to the entrance of the White House West Wing that made the historic landmark look more like a signature Trump hotel.

The Oval Office has been significantly revamped since Trump took office in January 2025—it features, among other things, a fireplace adorned with gold cherubs and medallions, surrounded by portraits of American statesmen in ornate gold frames and shelves filled with gilded figurines, urns, and freshly installed Rococo mirrors.

Rihanna Applauded For Powerful Response To Cancer Patient Who Apologized For Looking 'Terrible' Without Wig

Rihanna’s latest viral moment has nothing to do with music, fashion, or beauty launches. Instead, fans say the singer helped someone shine bright “like a diamond” after reassuring a cancer patient who apologized for not wearing a wig during an unexpected meeting.

The nine-time Grammy winner, 38, made a fan’s day during a recent trip to a supermarket, where she posed for a photo and offered words of encouragement after learning the woman was living with cancer and feeling self-conscious about her appearance. The interaction appeared in Jason Lee’s video series, Jason Lee Unlocked: Grocery Shopping with Rihanna, released on Monday, July 6.
