"I Leave Ye with a Riddle..."

Basically someone posts a riddle, if you know the answer, you post the answer along with another riddle. You'll recieve 1 point for each one you get right, the names will be place on the score board, in the order of the most points.

Rules
1. Only one answer per member per question.
2. Once a question gets five wrong answers a new one will be set.
3. If a riddle isn't solved after a day, a new one will be set.
4. Don't use the Internet to find the answer. However, if you're to set the question, you may.
5. I'll decide who gets the point (by this, I mean, if you argue with me, I'll reset your score)
6. You can ask questions, within reason.
7. Rules 1 and 2 are lifted if the riddle contains a good few paragraphs.
8. If a riddle needs to be set, anyone can set them.

You were indeed correct!

I'll try harder this time...

Not as much as I should. It just seemed like a good idea. Was I right or was your riddle a parody of some recent event that I'm not aware of?

Read the news do you? =D

He put a trained/homing pigeon in the phonebooth for the guy to attach the diamond to.

It was indeed on a clock.

Here's an interesting one for you, based on a real story from Taiwan.

A rich man's son was kidnapped. The ransom note told him to bring a valuable diamond to a phone booth in the middle of a public park. Plainclothes police officers surrounded the park, intending to follow the criminal or his messenger. The rich man arrived at the phone booth and followed instructions but the police were powerless to prevent the diamond from leaving the park and reaching the crafty villian.

What did he do?

When working congruently using modulo 12.

Errr, a clock.


AGHHH

to be honest you deserve that because it took me about 5 minutes to figure out an everyday use for it :|

On a clock.

YES I WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Reading the first rule, Bob should get the points. Although seeming I got a U in my GCSE mocks, I think I should be given the points for my commendable effort :D

I feel adicted to writing the riddles now. OK one last general riddle from me.

When can you add two to eleven and get one?

Heh heh, but technically, Timmy was right, just read the question wrong, then Bob answered, then you.

Though I commend your method, nice to know some people put in the effort =D
