Ari's Laboratory
 

Greetings, greetings! Please, come in. Mind the cables, and do step lively. The experiments in the cages are not for touching, and if you value your hands, please don't stick them in the vat at the center of the platform. Ah! There we are, please. Come into the center of the room, and stand closer together. Good, good. Now... just a picture for the memories, annnnnd... Perfect! Yes.

You all know me by now, I hope - although please do call me Dr. Ari in this case. You are all here to be part of my experiments! No, don't worry, not like the ones in the cages, or in the vat. No - I need to test your intellect! Not with probes or anything of the like. Maybe later? No - today, you'll simply be answering some questions. Riddles, mostly, maybe a few trivia thrown in. Seeing what makes you think is just as important as seeing what makes you tick. Aid me, and rewards are in your future!

[[ Riddles ]]
 

This part of the lab is where you'll be testing your brains for me. No, no, not with electricity - although that is an intriguing idea... I have several riddles for you to answer. If you get them correct, you'll receive a few tealights in compensation - no more than five, though. I have to have enough for everyone!

The riddle will change every day - all you have to do is PM me your answer, and - if you're correct - I'll send along your prize. You can also choose not to answer these, of course. I'm not going to force anyone to go along with my little... intellectual experiments.

Today's Riddle!

I am beautiful, up in the sky.
I am magical, yet I cannot fly.
To people I bring luck, to some people, riches.
The boy at my end does whatever he wishes.
What am I?

If you're the kind to like Trivia Night at the local watering hole, you'll want to stick around for these. Now, if you'll just let me affix my leads here, I'm going to test your knowledge of things past, present, future, animal, mineral, and other. That's right - there's no set theme here. If you can make a trivia question out of it, it's fair game. Mind, I'll be posting these up every day - and this is first-come, first-served. No need to PM here. The first to answer the question correctly gets 10 tealights. No ifs, ands, or buts. Keep in mind, though, not every question is as straightforward as it seems! Be on the lookout for more... tricksy questions as time goes on.

CURRENT TRIVIA:

In animals, what is the animal that has been domesticated by Russian scientists due to a study on domestication? I want the current animal - not the previous. Hint: It's not an insect.

[[ Logic Tests ]]
 

Here we have questions and situations that aren't... well, they don't exactly have 'correct' answers. These are merely things I want to see how you answer. Could be a question, could be a scenario, could be a task - but there are no wrong answers here. These are rare, since some of them are physical tasks, but successfully doing as I ask will net you a whopping 30 tealights. Keep an eye out for these, because I won't always update them, and when I do, I might not... remember to post that... I am, of course, a forgetful doctor sometimes.

I am so thrilled! This is my first advent I can’t wait to see what happens!

What kind of riddles willl you do cause I am I Halloween child favorite Holliday and birthday I have a lot of very very spooky answers or scary!!! I am kinda weird lol sorry.

subscribing :D

it hasn't even started and i;m already sweating

Same

You guys aren’t the only ones I have been dying for it to start all day!!!

It just takes a few more hours to charge the Tesla coil, and- oh. Subjects are already present. Nevermind then. You heard nothing.

here at last!

Affected Anatomy:

Very nice! I love that movie. XD

I like this riddle, but, you got me.

I uhh have no idea what the answer is D:
someone halp

idk either xD it sounds really cool though

y'all are probably overthinking it. i think ari was pretty generous with the hints.

but we're supposed to examine everything only get one shot T-T

dats right. examine for one shot at 5 tea lights.

:')

I am examining... my own heart...

nono, don't examine inside of you, examine what's in front of you

I hate this godsdamn internet. Trivia is updated. I thought it was updated this morning - but NOTHING I typed this morning actually went through, and it took Galla reminding me that I was supposed to update every day to actually double-check the thread and see it wasn't there.

Thus, you'll get two questions when I wake up for my inattentiveness, and figuring that the post went through without double-checking. -_-;;

My gut reaction is a clock but my gut has a 0.3% accuracy rate and I suck at riddles anyway

Oh yay lemme join in on this thread and hopefully remember to do some of the things XD

I'll also give you that long to answer the riddle - AND post the next riddle here in a moment. It'll give you more time to answer, and me more time to sleep. XD

Congrats, Mdom! You're right!

Here is the answer to yesterday's riddle before I put up two more Trivia questions for you:


Where are you, glorious night,
I do so long for your touch,
The stroke of midnight calls me,
Close about my heart it coils,
Herein lies the answer you seek.

What am I?
The answer is 'Witch'

palindrome

Correct!

Clever! Yeah I was not gonna get that xD

Ice King, writing fan fiction about his experiences with Jake and Finn. And it's #genderbent

Correct! ^^

Everything updated! I have a headache. -Groan-

If I'm the passenger, I might notice a guy on the side of the road and that's it
If I'm driving, I prolly won't notice the dude beyond "dude on road don't drive too close to him"
Unless we're at a dead stop and he comes up to us asking for help, how am I gonna know? And here, unless there's a recent car accident, traffic isn't stopping, and if there's traffic lights you're in town and the dude becomes invisible, unless he starts jaywalking, which with the way people drive here, is dangerous

So I will be ignoring the guy because I don't go out of my way to find out what random people are doing on the side of busy roads

i solve headaches w/ a nap

ah, the most classic tourist scam in the book. help the old man.

Thank you for your contributions!
Something shall be out for you shortly. ^^
