Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hello! Seeing as how we are in need of a few new threads, or so I have been informed, I am starting *Dun dun na Nah!* Puzzle's Puzzles!
(More awesome title art coming soon! ^_^')
This will be a thread about -what else- Puzzles! This includes, but is not limited to, brain teasers, riddles, and, well, just about anything that makes you use your head or I think is cool.
I ask that you don't bump or chat in this thread. ALL OUTSIDE CHATTING SHOULD BE DONE IN THE 'WAHAH!' THREAD, NOT HERE. However, I do encourage you to come up with your own riddles and such and post them here. Hopefully we can have quite a collection! ^_^
Now, because I don't want you to be able to read the answer straight off after you do the riddle, I'm going to post the answers in white. This means when you think you have solved it, you highlight after the word "Answer" with your mouse. Another way to do this is to hold down the shift key and use the arrow keys.Don't get lazy on me though- I want you to try! If you notice a problem with a riddle, please pm me. But be careful! Somtimes the answers work but are a little puzzling in themselves...

Good luck and have fun! ^_^

Some of these I'll get off of sites that I think are good- Here is an example of one such riddle. :

A long, long time ago, two Egyptian camel drivers were fighting for the hand of the daughter of the sheik of Abbudzjabbu. The sheik, who liked neither of these men to become the future husband of his daughter, came up with a clever plan: a race would determine who of the two men would be allowed to marry his daughter. And so the sheik organized a camel race. Both camel drivers had to travel from Cairo to Abbudzjabbu, and the one whose camel would arrive last in Abbudzjabbu, would be allowed to marry the sheik's daughter.
The two camel drivers, realizing that this could become a rather lengthy expedition, finally decided to consult the Wise Man of their village. Arrived there, they explained him the situation, upon which the Wise Man raised his cane and spoke four wise words. Relieved, the two camel drivers left his tent: they were ready for the contest!
What did he say?

Answer: Take each other's camel.
