I'm going to make up a completely ridiculous answer (which works) for that riddle. If it's right, LOL.

So the man was swimming and there was a noose on the ceiling (which was a foot above the water level). So, being an idiot, he put his head through. Then, somebody fired a rocket at the room, and the water started to leak out, and he was hanged.

And even if it's not the answer you intended, IT FITS ALL OF THE CRITERIA, SO IT'S RIGHT.

1. Read the first post, dude... Or... was it a joke?

2. I'm not the riddle poster, but I can tell you that your guess is wrong. Nice try, though.

Please point out to me exactly which part of my answer violated the criteria in the riddle.

Are you angry with me?

KingKold selected gurglesletch to guess the riddle, so you can't post an answer. However, being your answer that particular, I thought you were just joking and that's why I asked you.

I'm half joking.

I'm pointing out the ridiculous thing about 95% of riddles, which is that there are HUNDREDS of possible answers which fit the criteria of the riddle, and all but one are "wrong" just because.

Of course, I wasn't expecting that to be the "correct" answer, and also, this is an extremely flawed system, because gurglesletch isn't going to post, and then the thread dies.

Ok, I understand. The thread won't die, though (read the first post and check the thread).

This isn't system. It is far too rigid and it's not a game. More like a test.

Off-Topic: "Soli Deo Gloria" makes no sense. That translates as either "To the sun god glory" or "To the sun with god glory". Unless that is meant to be "Solus" as in alone, but that makes even less sense.

This is only true of 95% of bad riddles. Good riddles are much harder to make up, but they only have one answer.

Like this one, though I'm sure you've heard it before:

What goes up a chimney down but can't go down a chimney up?
