Damn it! :lol: :? :roll:

Is the rock round like a boulder?
Is it big (like a boulder)?
Was it the rock that knocked the person out?

5 Is the rock green itself? By example, if it should be splitted in parts, should they all be green?

6 Does such rock really exist on Earth? 7 without interference of human beings?

8 (in case 5 = no) Is the surface of the rock covered by green stuff? 9 chemical? 10 organic?

11 Is the fact the rock is green a sort of cause that the man is inconsious? 12 Or more like an effect?

13 Is there someone/something else involved in this story? 14 Other human being? 15 Animal life? 16 Vegetable life? 17 Mother Nature general?

mqdar:
1, 2: It doesn't really matter, but the bigger the rock is, the sooner it happens, so I think it's like medium size. Whatever, it doesn't matter.
3: Eeh... In a sense, yes.

Marinus:
5. YES!!!
6. Eeh... not really, but please don't take this answer as a base. It will all make sense when you find it out.
7. You mean, some sort of a synthetical chemical rock? Well, no! A natural mineral.
11. The colour itself is not a cause. The rock, however, is.
13. It doesn't matter.

Trust me, it's SO funny knowing the clever answer (this isn't my riddle, I got it from someone else) and watching people figuring it out and missing by a long shot. :twisted: :lol:

1. Did the rock come from outer space?
2. Is this person out in the open, in a clear place?

1. Actually I don't know, and it doesn't even matter.
2. Also doesn't matter.

Actually, that's the ony thing I really believe of the whole story 8) :lol:

1 Are the environmental circumstances normal/optimal for a human? Such as temperature, humidity, airpressure, oxygen content.

2 Until the moment he became unconscious did he eat and drink normal? Was he healthy?

3 Is there a link between the mineral of the rock and the minerals in a human body?

4 Did the rock and the man's body touch each other.

5 Is the man visibly damaged? Wounds, blood etc. Laying in a strange position?

Was the rock in motion before it hit the person / before the person became unconscious?

Is the person colour-blind?

Does the material of the rock matter?

Marinus.

1. Probably. Doesn't matter with exception of ruling out obvious hazards that would knock him down way quicker.
2. Probably. Doesn't matter much though.
3. Eeh... Not really, but you're pretty close. However, this is a bad answer to accept as a base.
4. The closer the rock is, the sooner it would happen. I guess it's pretty close, but not neccesarily touching.
5. Probably yes, but not in the way you think of.

Lucky-Luc
1. Doesn't matter that much, but I don't think so.
2. Don't know.
3. YES! YES! YES OMG YES! First person who said something that's at least a bit close. :wink: Yes, the material of the rock does matter, in a very serious way.

1. Is the rock, a sleep inducing rock?

2. Did the man ingest part of the rock? Edit: Nevermind! If he didn't touch it. :roll: (I just woke up; still slightly retarded) :lol:

3. Is the rock edible? Or are parts of the rock edible? Edit: Same with this one....nevermind!

4. Is the rock, a form of medicine? Edit: Same here! :?

It has to be krytonite and the man has to be superman. That was the first thing I thought of when he said green rock.

Well yeah, I thought of that too, but Kryptonite and Superman were actually fictional. I was thinking this is a real riddle, like Romeo's parachute one. (anyway, there is sort of a new discovery like kryptonite, but it's called: 'Jadarite')

Everyone is correct. It's Superman and Kryptonite! :wink:
BTW: about "real" riddles: in the world of Superman, this IS real, and about the world mismatch... who cares... :lol:

Even in the world of Superman, the material "kryptonite" comes from the planet "Krypton". If I'm right that's called outer space. 8)

But never mind; Monica it's your turn. :D

Actually I didn't even read the comic myself, and the Wikipedia page is pretty confusing.
But yeah, you are right about that. Sorry.

Whoever makes it, tells it not. Whoever takes it, knows it not. Whoever knows it, wants it not. What is it?

I think it can be (almost) everything what's fake. Paintings, products of an expensive trademark, money, jewels. Everything what seems valuable but what's fake.

Marinus.... the answer is counterfeit money

I'm not really very good at riddles. I figured this one would be easy.

Well, let's hope this one is a little more difficult. :twisted:

Mr. A sends a package (not a parachute 8) ) to Mr. B.

B opens it, takes a look, nods his head satisfied, closes it and sends it to Mr. C

C opens it, takes a look, nods his head satisfied and buries it in the ground.

Did B add anything to the package's contents before sending it to C?

You are quick all :D

No, not a plant

No, no one died, and only the package and content were buried, nothing more.

No, he just watched it.
