Off Topic - Pirate Riddles

  • Ahoy! I be running a RL pirate themed running trail where "beverages" will be locked in a cooler with a 4 digit spinner lock (0-9).

    In order to open thee treasure they will have to solve 4 riddles.

    Can ye please play test this for me as I not want it to be too hard for the landlubbers.

    1. The first place is dead and so it must be treated. Ye aught not count a dead thing or I be heated.

    2. The Spanish dollar has many a name, but for a pirate as me it has only one name. The pieces I count are known as just these.

    3. The compass at sea should always be in good form. But ours was weather worn and only showed the norm.

    4. On me left hand I be having a hook. A penalty I ensure you from something I took. If caught in a port for thieving as thieves, it is likely we pirates will lose some of these. But lucky I am for I have all of mine. This many rings I wear that do shine.

    A penalty I assure you from something I took - not ensure.

    I can't work out the answer though right now lol

  • @picklebeard22 is the 2nd one doubloons?

  • @wipe-nd-clean Thanks matey ill correct that.

    All answers are number 0-9

  • @blackbeard-lufy all answers are numbers between 0-9

  • 1=0
    2=8
    3=4 or 8...
    4=???

    1. Pieces of 8?
  • 4.) is 5? 5 fingers?

  • 4= 1 or 5 or 6 lol

    4=???

    1 = 0 correct
    2 = 8 "pieces of 8"
    3 = 4 as it now only shows N,S,E,W
    4. I thought this was the easiest tbh. ill wait and see if anyone else gets it.

  • @blackbeard-lufy You got it. 5 Fingers.

  • @dawhite-yeti Hmm interesting yeah I suppose he could wear one on his hook. I will have to reword the riddle.

  • @picklebeard22 A lot of compasses have marks for NW,NE,SW,SE that is why I put 8..

    The compass at sea should always be in good form. But ours was weather worn and only showed the norm.

    I was hoping weather worn and only showed the norm (N,S,E,W) would be a big clue.

  • @wipe nd clean, @Blackbeard Lufy, @DaWhite Yeti

    Thank you for your help. This provided me great feedback.

  • @picklebeard22 I would like to see the finished riddles if you don't mind.

  • @dawhite-yeti

    Still working on them:

    1. The first place is dead and so it must be treated. Ye aught not count a dead thing or I be heated.

    2. The Spanish dollar has many a name, but for a pirate as me it has only one name. The pieces I count are known as just these.

    3. The compass at sea should always be in good form. But ours was weather worn and only showed the norm.

    4. On me left hand I be having a hook. A penalty I assure you from something I took. If caught in a port for thieving as thieves, it is likely we pirates will lose some of these. But lucky I am for I have all of mine. This many rings I do wear at this time.
