The Riddler’s Vintage Riddles

Known for his purple domino mask and green question mark-covered riddler costume, either as a skintight bodysuit or a business suit and bowler hat and his special question mark shaped cane, the Riddler is obsessed with riddles, puzzles, and word games.
Here are some riddles from 1960s Batman:

1. What weighs six ounces, sits in a tree, and is very dangerous?
A sparrow with a machine gun.

2. How do you divide seventeen apples among sixteen people?
Make applesauce.

3. What has neither flesh, bone, nor nail yet has 4 fingers and a thumb?
A Glove.

4. The more you take away, the larger it grows. What is it?
A hole.

5. What has 4 legs, runs day and night, but never gets anywhere?
The Famous Lion Fountains at the museum.

6. What is it that travels on all fours in the morning, on two legs at noon, and three at twilight?
Man.

7. What are the chilliest 12 inches in the world?
Cold feet.

8. What letter is ne'er received in the alphabet?
The letter you put in the mailbox.

9. What kind of men are always above board?

10. When is a bonnet not a bonnet?

I really enjoy riddles. Some are so simple yet so unbelievably difficult. I'm glad they made them a little bit harder in Arkham City.
