Welcome to Gaia! ::

Update*This weeks riddle is solved.... I can't afford to do this everyday so when the riddles are easy and only last a day it will be at least one week before a new one apears unless another crew member comes in and puts one up offering thier gold or unless I get some donations for this. Don't worry if you want to donate, I'll keep track of gold donated stricktly for the riddles in this post but make sure the trade says it's for the riddles*
All right I'm starting a riddle/quiz contest. If it goes well I might continue with it and each week or so I will be putting up a new question or riddle for you to answer. Right now I'm questing for Goti's and don't have too much gold so I can only offer 200g from my gold count for the prize unless someone else wants to chip in.
Rules
arrow You have 1-2 weeks to find the answer, if no one can get within 2 weeks I'll put up a new riddle.
arrow PM me your answer, if you post it here in this thread you don't get the prize even if you were right.
arrow First one to send it to me in a PM gets the prize.
arrow You also must be an active member with at least 10 posts, I'm not going to give my gold away to people who only come in to try to get some free, easy gold, it's going to go to the people who enjoy thier time they spend in this guild. So if you've only came in and posted in the first post but never made an atempt to be active you won't win even if your right so post a bit, be friendly, then enter.

Esteloth is the winner this time!
Here is the question:
English has at least one nine-letter word that remains a valid word as each of its letters is successively removed. What is this word?

English language has at least one nine-letter word that remains a word as each of its letters is successively removed, right down to a single letter. That word is "startling":
startling
remove the l, and the word becomes: starting
remove one t, and the word becomes: staring
remove the a, and the word becomes: string
remove the r, and the word becomes: sting
remove the other t, and the word becomes: sing
remove the g, and the word becomes: sin
remove the s, and the word becomes: in
remove the n, and the word becomes: I

oo. I like riddles. I have one. Can I say? =D

Well. This is something I learned from school.

There's an award assembly for cops. Connor out of every cop in the assembly scored the highest number of criminal captures out of everything, but was going to retire though and was just deciding to head to the special event for cops. The cops are about to give out the award of "best male cop" award... and it wasn't for Connor... why? =B

Nope. But really close? lol

...darn it. It's so easy to answer. xD

Edit: Fine. How bout this riddle.

There are 2 rooms. One room has 3 switches, while one room only has a light bulb.

1 of the switches is the switch to light up the 2nd room. But you can only guess and see if that's the right switch ONE TIME. As in. You can only guess one time and check the room if it's correct one time.

The riddle is= how can you tell which of the 3 switches is the right switch with only checking up on the room once?

MUAHAHAHA. domokun 4laugh

.... I'm not gonna try anymore. lol I was about to say that was wrong too. xD

Actually, I was rather lucky with that one... At my best friend's 18th, we had somewhat of a riddle showdown... and that was one of them. It was an intense 10 minutes of trying to figure it out though. (But I did figure it out... Nobody actually won though... sweatdrop )
