Oh I get it. That’s a real good riddle. I thought the queen got wet.
The day after, my friend and I where talking about this riddle and the second she said that she put down "knight" I had a slap-yourself-on-the-forehead-for-being-so-thick-you-should-have-gotten-this-moment. SOOO frustrating!!!
I just figured that i had a 50-50 chance of getting it right... so i put the king. Obviously i was wrong but if you had written the riddle on the board i definately would've gotten it.
When you told us the riddle I just completely guessed and figured that I had a 50 50 shot at getting the right answer because only the king and the queen were in the boat. I thought when you said one night it was nightimenot that there was an actual knight.
I was going to write the lake didn't get wet because i knew it wasn't the queen or the king; that would be to obvious. I didn't want to sound stupid though because well the lake is already wet and it isn't a chess piece so..
I got the riddle 1/2 right. I wrote the night because it was talking about a night king and queen and I knew the night couldn't get wet so I just wrote that. It process though my head that they were talking about a knight not a night.
Like many of us i too understood the question as soon as i handed in my answer. i was so frusterated because i didnt think about it enough and i could have really used the extra credit haha
I only understood the answer once somebody told me... and then explained it a little bit more!!! I don't know if I ever would have gotten it if someone hadn't had told me. I'm really slow sometimes. :P Haha
Right as I walked out the door, I asked one of my friends who thought she knew it, and her answer sounded right. Complete fail on my part. I hope you give us more of those because I want those bonus points!
that was get it know. i thought it was the queen but it would have been eaiser if you wrote it on the board. You should do more of those riddles i could use the onus points.
The only reason i got it is because i have heard the riddle before. to tell you the truth i thought the riddle was going to be much tougher than that. I thought it was funny how it related to chess and we were playing chess. hahaha
Good riddle. I likje that. i am definitely going to use it on someone else. Yeah, if it was written on the board, I would have definitely got it in a blink of an eye!
Yea Caroline told me the answer after class, and I was mad because I thought I should have been able to pick up the trick. I knew it would be some trick. Like Sousa said it would've been easy if it was written.
I thought this was a very good riddle. At first I didn’t get it but then when I actually thought about how it had to do with chess I realized it involves a "knight" not a "night". But of course when I found out the answer I was already out the door and it was too late.
Where's the answer to the new riddle, the one about the 2 doors? I'm dying to know the answer!! Also, can we (the students) submit riddles? Mr. Horvath could pick the one he likes the most each fri.
Good one horvath!! Right when I steped outside of the classroom someone told me what the answer was and then it all made sense! I also thought that I had a 50, 50 chance! I said the queen didn't get wet thinking that the king was being a gentleman and sacrificed his dryness or her:) well that would have been very nice if he did!! Too bad I was wrong:(
It makes a whole lot of sense when your write it out. But when you just say it is is a tricky one becasue a lot of people over though it...including me.
I didn't get the riddle until someone told me after class. But now it seems very obvious and like a lot of people said, if it was written out I probably would have gotten it.

I thought the queen got wet too. If you wrote the riddle we all would have gotten it.
i got the answer as soon as i walked out the door and by then of course it was too late.
@Julia S
If I wrote the riddle you all better have gotten it.
yeah, right when i walked out of the classroom, i got the riddle too.
the only reason ehy i knew is because my brother told me a couple of weeks ago otherwise i would have never gotten it

I cant believe I didn't get that and i am mostly correct about theses types of riddles
When you told us the riddle I just completely guessed and figured that I had a 50 50 shot at getting the right answer because only the king and the queen were in the boat. I thought when you said one night it was nightimenot that there was an actual knight.
The only reason that I got it was because my sister sayd it to me everyday because she thinks it's funny...I guess her being annoying really paid off!
I was going to write the lake didn't get wet because i knew it wasn't the queen or the king; that would be to obvious. I didn't want to sound stupid though because well the lake is already wet and it isn't a chess piece so..
This was a really good riddle. I thought it was the king because he castled. I did not know what I was thinking.
At first i did not get the riddle at all but right when i walked out of the classroom I said it to my self again the got it.
I got the riddle 1/2 right. I wrote the night because it was talking about a night king and queen and I knew the night couldn't get wet so I just wrote that. It process though my head that they were talking about a knight not a night.
That is clever. It is a play on words. I didn't get it, but i can appreciate the cleverness in it.

I didn't get it until my friend told me , it would have been easier if you wrote it on the board for us
that was get it know. i thought it was the queen but it would have been eaiser if you wrote it on the board. You should do more of those riddles i could use the onus points.
I didnt get it. You should have wrote it on the board for us so we all got it right!

Actually I found it kind of easy to figure out because we were just playing chess and it came right to me.
yea. i also got it when i waslked out andme and sammy talked about it.
