Neopian Riddles


by daughters_ofthe_moon

--------

Not long ago I had my Neopian quiz article published and when I started to try and think of new ideas for my next article, I just couldn’t think of anything that you might find fun and interesting.

Then, just this morning - which luckily for me happened to be during my holiday time, I woke up thinking ‘My first is in...’ Now some of you might be looking at your screen with a confused look on your face and wondering if I should be in the Meepit Oaks Sanitorium for the Psychologically Fragile, which I must say at times is probably true, especially when I’m hearing these random voices but I’m sure some of you are nodding and thinking back to your far away childhood (or thinking about yesterday for the younger members of the site) and remembering the kind of riddles I’m talking about. And so some inspiration was born and I decided to take a type of riddle and give it a Neopian slant. All the words/items used in these riddles are things you can find in Neopia.

As you’ll know if you’ve ever met me, or read any of my previous articles, I’m not the most patient person in the world. In fact when it comes to working things out I give it a go then look at the answers. If you have more patience than me, you should be able to work out the riddles with a little bit of time. If not, all the answers will be at the bottom of the article so you can have a bit of fun thinking about the riddles without the agonising work of trying to figure them out. I hope you enjoy trying to solve them as much as I did creating them! Good luck and may the riddling begin.

A short example to get you started:

My first is in Meepit but not in Feepit

My second is in Zeevine but not in Futuristic Lutari Diving Pack

How to work out the answer to the riddle:

In the first sentence, the first letter is in the word Meepit but not Feepit, this one is simple to work out because there is only one letter – M. Our answer begins with an M.

In the second sentence there are a lot more letters, but if you look closely, you can see the only letters in Zeevine that don’t appear in Futuristic Lutari Diving Pack are Z and E. So putting my letters together my word is either MZ or ME. The answer, of course, is ME!

Your turn to have a go-

Riddle 1:

My first is in Negg but never in Gelert

My second is in Flowper but not in Flotsam Transmogrification Potion

My third you can find in Kiko Lake not Shenkuu or Faerieland

My fourth is in Prize but it’s not a Zeenana

My fifth is in Dartail but not found in an Amulet of Darkness

My last is in Angelpuss but not in Devilpuss

What am I?

Before you go and check if you’re right, you should try the other three riddles since all the answers are together and you don’t want to spoil the others!

Okay a little bit harder this time just to make you work for it. I’m sure you’re doing great!!

Riddle 2:

My first is in Candy Corn Soda but never in Angry Candy

My second is in 2 Much 2 Soon but not in Mucus Soup

My third you can find in Negg not an Acara Stocking

My fourth is in the All Seeing Tree but not the Disco Decorated Tree

My fifth is in King Altador but not found in Altador Cup Fanatic Bobblehead

My sixth is in Usul but not in Almost Big Book of Slothy Recipes

My seventh is in Usuki but never in King Skarl

Where am I?

Your third riddle is going to start taxing those brain cells. If you’re not as smart as Finneus yet, you soon will be!

Riddle 3:

My first is in Bruce but never in Common Cures

My second is in Gelupepper but not in Cornupepper Easter Negg

My third you can find in Munion not in a Chain of Onions

My fourth is in Mike but it’s not in the Ice Caves

My fifth is in Ace Zafara but not found in Electric Evil Fuzzle

My sixth is in Ice Licorice but not in Achyfi Ice

My seventh is in a 1/3 Lemon Swirl Usul Cake but never in a 1/2 Amazing Apple Usul Cake

My eighth is in Bandit Leader and Rock Monster Enemy Garland but not found in Blue Ruki Character Garland

What am I?

Okay, for our final riddle we’re getting quite hard. You might need the training of a ninja to fight your way through this one. Get your brain in gear –

Riddle 4:

My first is in Neocash yet not in Neopoints

My second is in Illusen but not in Glade

My third is in Babaa but never in 1/2 Amazing Apple Usul Cake

My fourth a Regal Black Robe; make sure it’s not with a Black Belt Usuki Set

My fifth a Mynci Inventor but not found in a Candy Cane Chocolate Advent Calendar

My sixth is in a BLT sandwich but not in a Salmon Fishwich

For my seventh I am but a space

My eighth is in Neo but never in Meowclops

My ninth is in Ona but not in Dung Pizza

My last is in Airax but not found in Admiral Arvakis

Who am I?

How do you feel now? You’re either feeling a sense of accomplishment because you think you know the answers or frustration because you don’t. Well, here you go see for yourself –

The Answers:

Riddle 1 – The answer was of course Neopia!

Riddle 2 – I’m in Shenkuu

Riddle 3 – I’m a Blumaroo

Riddle 4 – I am Hubrid Nox!

I hope you enjoyed these riddles! Thank you for playing.

Thank you to Becky for taking the time to solve these riddles and letting me know I'd made a mistake in one of them (it's now fixed!). Thank you Becky!
