Here are some riddles that are difficult to understand. You may have to spend longer trying to figure out what the solution is.
Riddle 1. Bus
A family was taking a journey through Colorado on a cross-country bus. The parents were bringing their children to visit some relatives who lived in a remote rural area. When the bus reached the foot of a mountain, the children began complaining that they were hungry. The parents decided to get off the bus at the next shop or restaurant they passed.
After a few minutes, they spotted a little roadside diner where they could all grab a bite to eat, so the wife pushed the stop button. The bus pulled over to the side of the road and the family got off, one by one.
Inside the diner, the parents and children were happily eating dinner, when they happened to look up at the TV. There was a news report on the screen that said a terrible accident had just taken place nearby. A bus had been crushed by falling rocks and everybody on board had been killed.
The parents were shocked. It was the same bus they had just been traveling on.
“I wish we had never gotten off that bus…” said the wife.
When the husband heard this, he spat out his food.
“What are you saying?” he shouted. “How could you say that?”
Then he thought for a second.
“Oh, I see,” he said. “You’re right. We shouldn’t have gotten off.”
Why did they say this?
Riddle 2. Soldier
At the end of the war in Iraq, an American soldier made a phone call to his parents.
“Hi Mom and Dad,” he said. “They’ll be sending me home in a few days. When I get home, do you think I could stay with you guys for a while?”
His parents were overjoyed at the news that he would be coming home.
“Of course!” cried his father. “You can live with us for as long as you like.”
“One of my buddies here has no place to go”,” he said. “Would you mind if he came to stay with us for a while too?”
“That’s fine, son” said his mother. “Your friends are always welcome in our house.”
“But, there’s something you should know”, said the son. “My buddy stepped on a land mine. He lost his arms and legs.”
There was a long silence on the other end of the line.
“Well, that would be fine for a few days,” said his mother. “But caring for a disabled person is hard. It would be a big burden on your father and I. Perhaps you could find him a nursing home or some sort of veteran’s hospital instead.”
Without another word, the son hung up the phone.
The next day, the parents received a phone call from their son’s commanding officer. He regretfully informed them that their son had committed suicide. The parents were devastated.
A few days later, the son’s corpse was flown back to the USA and his parents were there to collect the body. When they opened the coffin and saw their son, they both broke down crying.
Why?
Riddle 3. Public Bathroom
I was walking home last night, when I felt the urge to poop. I had to use a creepy, old public bathroom. It was down at the end of a street full of abandoned houses. Very spooky. I went into the bathroom, opened the door of the first stall and peeked inside. There was graffiti on the walls. On the right, it said “This bathroom is haunted” and on the left it said “This writing will change”. Creepy, huh?
I went into the stall, pulled down my pants and sat on the toilet. While I was pooping, I started thinking about the strange graffiti. Maybe I’m superstitious, but I just had to take another look. On my right, it said “This bathroom is haunted” and on my left it said “This writing will change”. Hmmm…. So if the writing didn’t change, that means the bathroom isn’t haunted, right?
Riddle 4. Lottery
I really miss my sister. I’m 8 years old and my sister is 12. Ever since I can remember, our family has always been poor. My sister and I had to wear the same clothes every day and the kids at school used to make fun of us. Last year, my sister ran away from home. Even though we shared a bedroom, she never warned me she was going to leave. If I’d known, I probably would have begged her to take me with her. When I woke up in the morning, my mother told me my sister was gone. My parents said they are still searching for her, but I don’t think they’re putting in a lot of effort.
Not long after that, my parents won the lottery. My mom said she found the winning ticket in a dumpster. When I saw all the money in the briefcase, I thought our problems were over. I was wrong. My parents immediately went on a spending spree. My dad bought himself a new car and a big TV. My mom bought herself some nice new dresses and lots of jewelery. They didn’t buy me anything.
“What happens when all the money runs out,” I asked them.
“Don’t worry,” replied my mom. “We’ll still have you.”
I guess that means they love me. Doesn’t it?
Riddle 5. Parents
A young girl was locked in a coalshed. She was crying. Through her tears, she noticed an old lamp sitting among the pieces of coal. She picked it up and began rubbing off the coal dust.
Suddenly a genie appeared and said, “I will grant you one wish. Choose wisely, for one wish is all I can grant.”
“Please make my parents disappear!” cried the girl. “I really hate them!”
“Your wish is my command,” said the genie. “Go to sleep tonight. Before you wake up in the morning, your wish will be granted.”
The next morning, the girl woke up and went downstairs. She found her mother and father sitting at the kitchen table, eating breakfast. The girl immediately regretted making the wish. She ran out to the coalshed and began rubbing the lamp.
The genie appeared and asked, “Are you happy now?”
“Please let me take back the wish I made yesterday”, begged the girl.
“I am sorry,” said the genie. “Once a wish has been granted, it cannot be taken back.”
The young girl began crying bitterly.
Riddle 6. Identical Twins
There were two young girls, named Mandy and Melissa, who were identical twins. They lived with their parents and older brother in a large mansion on the edge of town. Everybody was jealous of the girls because their father was rich and he bought them everything they wanted.
One dark night, the girls were kidnapped. When they awoke, they found themselves blindfolded and tied to chairs. The girls were extremely frightened and began to cry.
Suddenly, Mandy heard a high-pitched voice whispering in her ear. It was the kidnapper.
“I have contacted your parents and I am demanding one million dollars ransom,” he said. “If you try to escape, I will kill Melissa.”
Then, Melissa heard the kidnapper whispering in her ear.
“I have contacted your parents and I am demanding one million dollars ransom,” he said. “If you try to escape, I will kill Mandy.”
Riddle 7. Ball Bearing
A man was working in his toolshed when his son came in crying.
“What’s wrong, Son,” asked the father.
“Daddy, I was playing marbles with the other boys at school,” whimpered the little boy. “One of them stuffed a ball bearing in my ear and it won’t come out.”
“Don’t worry son,” said the father. “I’m sure I have something here that will get it out.”
The father’s favorite hobbies were science and woodwork. His workshop was filled with all manner of contraptions, gizmos and inventions. He gazed around his toolshed and his eyes settled on a super-strong electro-magnet he had built himself.
“This machine here is a magnet,” he told his son. “The ball bearing is metal, so when I turn this machine on, it will yank the ball bearing out.”
The man placed his son’s ear up against the magnet. He flicked the switch and there was a loud clang. His son crumpled to the floor, killed instantly.
How did the son die?
@scaryforkids, what’s the answer for number five? HELP
Scaryforkids says: You see the numbers are in order, so you only look at the letter that comes after every number. Put them all together and what do you get? :)
I love these riddles…
5) The girl fell asleep outside in the coalshed, went downstairs for breakfast and then ran outside to the coalshed again. I’m skeptical, where was she???
Also, she was LOCKED in the coalshed
Maybe her parents killed her and locked her there. It could’ve been her ghost that made the wish
4) possible answers:
They were cannibals and ate the first daughter and found the lottery ticket in the dumpster afterwards
They killed the first daughter and found the ticket when they went to throw her body away
They sold the first daughter for money and the lottery was not involved
5) possible answers:
They were her adoptive parents and her real parents disappeared
They disappeared and reappeared before she woke up
They were dead at the table
They became invisible
She didn’t exist anymore
The only one i actually figured out was 7 :s lol
5) perhaps the genie really made the girl’s parents dissapeared, it also made the girl was born to another couple and she had totally different life. in my opinion, it explains why the girl was locked in coalshed, then suddenly went down the stairs.
in my another version, her replaced parents just saved her from coalshed, and brought her to her home.
4.Tey were lying when they said her sister ran away, they actually ate her, and now they are gonna eat the other girl if the money runs out… oh never mind my first guess… i agree with the other people they sold her sister and now they are gonna sell her 0_0
1 if the family didn’t get off and delay the bus the bus would have not been in the rock slide
2 it was him calling and testing his parents cause he was the one who got disabled
3 the graffiti did change cause at first he was looking in the bathroom the second he was in the bathroom so he turned around it is haunted
4 they sold their sister for money and bought lottery tickets and they want to sell I am for more when the money runs out
5 parents mean that they have kids the genie made her never born so she does not have parents
6 it was the bro cause they said everyone was jealous of the girls and that dad bought everything for the girls
7 wrong ear so it went through his brain and killed him -.-
hey sfk can u let members buddy other members and share things like stories?
1: The family was originally on another bus, and switched to the second one that people died on. The famliy died on the second bus, and are now spirits. They were saying they wish they didn’t get off the first bus.
2: The son’s spirit was calling them to ask if his dead body without limbs could stay with them.
4: They sold her sister for money, and they are planning to do the same to her.
7. The kid had one of those false hearts in his body made of metal because his heart failed, and then the metal heart was drawn to the magnet, damaged his circulation, and killed him. :P OR the ball bearing ripped through his brain because the dad put the magnet machine in the wrong ear.
1. If the family hadn’t stopped, the rocks wouldn’t have crushed the bus.
2. The veteran WAS the “friend”. He was testing his parents. OR… He committed suicide because they wouldn’t accept his friend. And maybe they were crying because THEIR SON COMMITTED SUICIDE! Duh. :P
6. The girls are IDENTICAL. Their parents wouldn’t kidnap them, and their brother is the only one who can tell them apart.
3. The writing did change. If he turned around, the writing on the right would be on his left, and on the left would be his right. The guy is an idiot.
5. She was adopted. Her birth parents were gone, and her adoptive parents, who she wanted to disappear, were still alive.
4. They sold their first daughter for a lottery ticket. By “We’ll still have you”, they meant “We can still sell you for lottery tickets.”
5 was the only 1 kinda dificult the genie said BEFORE but didt say after she woke up so her parents were gone before she got up when she woke up they were back
or they wernt her parents they didnt now who she was
In number 2, the boy was the one who had been injured. He wanted to know if his parents would still accept someone who had been injured and disabled so badly. When they told him it would be difficult, he knew he wouldn’t be able to go home so he killed himself.
Either that or he killed himself because he really loved his injured friend, and his parents broke down crying because it’s their dead son.
1. If they didn’t get off the bus it would have kept moving.
2. Idk
3. When he walked in the stall haunted was on the right change was on the left, he turned around with the same pattern.

Hey this is my 1st comment here I just made my account
I only got the answers for #5 & #7
5. the girl was adopted, her real parents disappeared, her addopted parents are still there?¿?¿
7. Maybe he had a hearing thing or somethin and that got pulled by the magnet?¿?¿
All the correct answers
1.)If they hadn’t gotten off the bus would have made it before the rocks fell.
2.)the son was the one who was disabled and was testing his parents.
3.)the writing did change sides.
4.)They sold the older daughter and they are going to sell her too.
5.)She was adopted and realized it when her parents downstairs were still there.
6.) The parents bought the daughters everything they wanted not the son.If they could be told apart it was the brother.
7.) The marble was in his other ear and ripped through his brain.
I’m new, and I know the answers. If they did not get off the the rocks would not have hit it. He was the one who was disabled. From a different angle the writing will change the side it is on. They will sell the son. The parent did exist she did not. The killer told them each if they escape he will kill the other so they won’t escape. The dad put the magnet on the ear and the marble went though his brain.
1. The bus would have gotten through before the rocks fell.
2. The son was the disabled one and he was testing his parents.
3. It did change.
4. They sold the daughters organs?
5. She was adopted.
6. He could tell them apart, it had to be the brother.
7. The marble was on the wrong side.
I’m guessing #7 is because the marble got all the way to his brain and the magnet yanked his brain too hard?
1)The bus would’ve passed if they didnt get off
2)He Tripped on the landmine and tested if they would allow him to live with them
3)The bathroom wasnt haunted he just turned around when he entered the graffiti was on the right and left when he was on the toilet it was on the left and right
4)She traded the child for money
5)Her parents disappeared they were invisible
6)The Brother Kidnapped Them
7)It was the wrong ear the ball bearing it went through his brain and killed him
The picture is of a giant head eating spiders/rats
4) When they said dont worry we still have you, they mean they will sell him when they run out of money right? OR EAT HIM. Orr use him as funiture. Am I getting closer? Hopefully i am. if im not sfk tell me the answerss
2: the son was the one without legs, he was testing his parents through fear of being rejected
6: i know It was a family member, because who else would be able to tell them apart. And the had contact with the parents. It was the brother because it says “he said†when referring to the kidnappers dialog
7: he put the magnet to the wrong ear. It went straight through his brain
#1: The family had to stop the bus to get off, if they didn’t stop, the bus wouldn’t have gotten hit.
#2: The veteran was the disabled man, he was testing his parents to see if they would be willing to care for him.
#3: The writing did change. The left and right perspectives would change from the time he looked at the stall, to when he was sitting in the stall.Since the writing stayed on the same walls, the writing did change.
#4: The parents sold the daughter for money. When the parents said “We still have you,” They meant they could sell her if they needed money.
#5: The girl was adopted. He took away her REAL parents, not her adopted parents.
#6:It was the brother. He was able to tell the twins apart, and since they’re identical, only someone who knew them well could do that.
#7: The father put the magnet to the wrong ear, and since it was a strong magnet, it pulled the ball through his brain, killing him.
these are all right concepts and i like sweetmelody’s refernece!

5. Shes adopted so it was the wrong parents who disappeared.
6. The kidnapper was the brother. Who besides family and friends could tell them apart?
7. He held the magnet to the wrong ear and the ball ripped through his brain.
1) if they hadn’t stopped, the bus would have made it past before the rocks fell
2) the son was actually the one without arms and legs, he was testing his parents
3) when you walk into the bathroom, the writing on the right was “THIS BATHROOM IS HAUNTED” left “THIS WRITING WILL CHANGE” then you have to turn around to go to the bathroom, so they “changed” sides
