[Conan listens long enough to identify the sound of a violin being tuned before he answers.]

Sorry, most of the riddles I know only make sense in Japanese.

workaphilic October 12 2011, 01:18:23 UTC

[he hums. the d string is decidedly flat.]

I know some. Likely not enough to do them justice, though.

[Conan cringes slightly at the sound. He could hear it with his perfect pitch, although his complete lack of relative pitch prevented him from ever replicating music with his voice.]

Then here is a riddle I heard some time ago. A bunch of first graders solved it, so a detective will have no problems, right?

On Napoleon's land two Japanese men built their house. What were the names of the two men? Fuyuno-san,Furuno-san or Fukano-san.

[he's fixing it, gradually. have to be gentle with it.

his response to the riddle is more or less immediate, though. he sounds even more bored, if that were possible.]

Fuyuno-san and Furuno-san.

Would it take wearing a hat? I don't want an eaten head.

workaphilic October 12 2011, 01:22:53 UTC

Oh, no, wouldn't want that. Wear your hat or not, whatever you like.

fishy_go_byebye October 12 2011, 18:41:44 UTC

No hat~

workaphilic October 12 2011, 22:08:19 UTC

No hat, fine then. Feel better?

"Our remedies oft in ourselves do lie."

workaphilic October 12 2011, 01:29:01 UTC

[sardonically:]

Yes, thank you. Your insight is invaluable.

[it's probably for the best that he doesn't get the reference. how do i shakespeare.]

scaresstalkers October 12 2011, 02:17:14 UTC

[He doesn't mind either way. In fact, his voice is completely lacking in emotion in general.]

You can only be bored if you let yourself be. Take up a new hobby, maybe?

workaphilic October 12 2011, 02:21:09 UTC

Oh, of course, because that thought had never crossed my mind before.

Full of stunningly useful advice, aren't you.

What is overly large in size, completely underestimated, and dwells in the snow?

[No time for pauses.]

A frost giant.

workaphilic October 12 2011, 01:54:06 UTC

By all means, suck all of the enjoyment out of an already hideous excuse for a riddle. Saves me a few seconds.

mischifs October 12 2011, 02:18:34 UTC

Oh, did I do that? What a surprise.

I always assumed you were to tell the ending to the riddle right away. Saves those who prefer to avoid the pain and agony of trying to solve something oh so difficult.

workaphilic October 12 2011, 02:26:02 UTC

[he doesn't have the patience for you, bro.]

Are you looking for someone to pat you on the back? Give you a medal for being clever in the dullest possible way?

hullo_sweetie October 12 2011, 01:21:12 UTC

[Alright she'll play your game]

How old do you think I am?

workaphilic October 12 2011, 01:56:55 UTC

[oh, finally, something that actually catches his interest.]

You consider that a riddle?

hullo_sweetie October 12 2011, 03:16:35 UTC

[It takes a bold woman to ask that sort of question. That or a fairly smug one]

No, I call it a test of your deductive skills.

workaphilic October 12 2011, 04:33:19 UTC

Well, that's even better.

[because he needs the challenge, needs to see how far he can bend the rules of his loss before they snap.

he takes a deep breath, exhales it slowly. start simple, shall we?]

Let's see. Based on our last conversation, I'd say you appear, what? Early to mid forties?
