Geek Riddler
Overview
Find out more about the Geek Riddler, whose Daily Riddles somehow always manages to drive me almost completely bonkers, totally drain up my brain juice and still make me come back for more, every bloody day! Holy crap!

Introduction
The site – GeekRiddles.Com was established on 19 January 2008, the date today is 28 February 2008 which means that this site just celebrated its one month old birthday not too long ago, and its daily Alexa Traffic Ranking already reached 50K-ish. The growth rate is even faster than the Staale the Viking Blogger‘s blog! Amazing!

Saturday, 19 January 2008
The first post was published, also the first riddle from the Geek Riddler, titled – He who spins too fast will get dizzy and there are many eager participants! I would say this is a great opening!

Sunday, 20 January 2008
The answer to Monday’s riddle is announced – The Invisible Spinner Answer which is successfully cracked by Rufio. It seems that there are no riddles for today.

Monday, 21 January 2008
Monday! A start of a new week, and cometh a new riddle – The Miracle and this riddle too, gathered quite a lot of riddle guessers.

Tuesday, 22 January 2008
So it seems like the answers to the riddles are announced a day after the riddle was published, with yesterday’s riddle answered – The Miracle Revealed in which GeekMom almost got it correct! Better luck next time!

Looks like there is a riddle today! The Dark Mistery from the Misty Beach and yes again, the response from the mob of riddle guessers is again overwhelming!

Wednesday, 23 January 2008
No one got the correct answer for yesterday’s riddle was which revealed today – Solving the Dark Mistery from the Beach and seeing this, the Geek Riddler reminded us that some riddles are impossible to solve and the point is to have some fun trying, get creative and come up with some plausible solutions.

Following that day, a new riddle – The Coat Eater is unleashed upon the public! The mob of riddle guessers seems to have quiet down somewhat.

Thursday – Monday, 24 – 28 January 2008
The Geek Riddler seems to be busy during these five (5) days as there are no new posts during this period. No idea what the Geek Riddler has been up to as there was no mention of it anywhere.

Tuesday, 29 January 2008
After five (5) days of absence, the Geek Riddler is finally back, along with The Answer to the Coat Eater as well. No one got the correct answer for this riddle.

A new riddle – Frog Mastery was published and two (2) riddle guessers attempted it.

Wednesday, 30 January 2008
A tricky riddle, GeekMom almost got it right to yesterday’s riddle revealed today – The Frog Mastered.

Something that can be seen, but yet cannot be seen is the riddle for today. Confused, I am.

Thursday, 31 January 2008
Crocodilul almost got yesterday’s riddle correct – Increased Visibility.

Now this is the riddle that I encountered when I visited the Geek Riddler’s domain for the very first time – Friends of the Forest. Yeah, I can’t crack it. In fact no one tried.

Friday, 1 February 2008
I must say I was greatly impressed when I saw the answers for yesterday’s riddle – The Forest Friends Uncovered. I decided to visit the GeekRiddles.Com again for new riddles.

The new riddle for today was about a scene of a few people boarding a bus – Don’t Forget Your Manners. Another riddle which is difficult to get the correct answer.

Saturday, 2 February 2008
Its weekend again and the answer to yesterday’s riddle – Code of Good Manners which I find it to be quite amusing.

Seems like there is an easier riddle today – The Mightiest Soldiers which is quite easy.

Sunday, 3 February 2008
So it is true that yesterday’s riddle was easy – Six Legged Soldiers Revealed hence was solved by Acelasi and GeekMom.

The Seer was the riddle presented to us before the weekend is over and another week begins. Also another easy riddle correctly guessed by many folks.

Monday, 4 February 2008
That was too easy – Seeing the Seer, many people got it correct.

This Monday’s riddle – Business Trip to Bucharest involves a scene in an airplane.

Tuesday, 5 February 2008
No many guessers attempted the riddle – Insights into the Bucharest Business Trip.

A rather insightful riddle was introduced today – Generations and inspired many guessers to attempt it, myself included.

Wednesday, 6 February 2008
Alas, I did not got it correct – The Young Generations Answer the call but Courtney and Jenn did.

Today, acelasi riddle – The River that Reverses was showcased.

Thursday, 7 February 2008
GeekMom did not get it correct though – Reversed River Revealed.

Army of Brothers was the riddle for this day and many attempted it.

Friday, 8 February 2008
Many attempted and many got it right – White Brothers in arms.

New riddle, again many attempted it – The Rock and Roller, me included!

Saturday, 9 February 2008
Not a hard riddle as many got it correct – Rocking and Rolling – me too!

Another easy riddle for the weekend – Changing Elements.

Sunday, 10 February 2008
Easy riddle indeed – Changing Elements Discovered as solved easily by guessers.

After several days of easy riddles, here comes an impossible one – Army of Frogs.

Monday, 11 February 2008
Impossible it is – Frogs have fun too – though some attempt, none got it right.

An easy riddle for us after failing to crack an impossible one – Flying Dreams.

Tuesday, 12 February 2008
Flying Dragons is the answer and I thought it was something else. Bah!

The Host is an interesting riddle which sparked many interesting attempts.

Wednesday, 13 February 2008
Though many attempted, only one got it right – The Host hosts one more party.

Rest day Wednesday since there are no new riddles for today.

Thursday, 14 February 2008
The Cold Fire was probably published in the wee hours since the answer was announce later this day as well. A healthy amount of guessers attempted it.

Again, though many attempted, none got it correct – Under Cold Fire.

New riddle – Of man and horse – sounded quite scary to me. Few attempted.

Friday, 15 February 2008
Few attempted, one got it right – noelevzMuster the Rohirrim.

Another riddle about animals – Speechless – attracted many to attempt it.

Saturday, 16 February 2008
Yet another riddle which many attempted but only one – Bubbles got it correct – Speechless Speaker.

Lucky Dots is the new riddle for this weekend this time around.

Sunday, 17 February 2008
Black Dots on Red Marble Lands on Green Field and no one got it correct.

Another easy riddle – Motivational Speech Failure for fellow guessers.

Monday, 18 February 2008
Bubbles got it right again – The Proud Who Does Not Speak and I affirmed it!

One month old anniversary for GeekRiddles.Com so a special riddle – Young and Wise.

Tuesday, 19 February 2008
Getting Older was the answer and Rachel Keslensky got it right.

Rest day! No riddles today!

Wednesday, 20 February 2008
Seek, and You Will Find – and I thought I got it right. Bah!

Thursday, 21 February 2008
Many good answers, but only Ivaylo Hristov and Angie Hurst got it right – Hunter Seeker.

A hard riddle coming up next – By Your Side – only I attempted it!

Friday, 22 February 2008
Alas! I failed! Side by Side was the answer and I felt so pawned!

An impossible riddle – The Powers of Two – was introduced today and attempted by some.

Saturday, 23 February 2008
Binding Two – and Louie solved it. So much for being an impossible riddle!

This Saturday’s riddle is – Chain Reaction and Louie attempt it again.

Sunday, 24 February 2008
Its Sunday and Louie got it right again – Chain Reaction Started.

Various animals are introduced in – About Good Taste – and this attracted my guessers. It seems that folks are more fond of riddles which involves animals?

Monday, 25 February 2008
Test of Good Taste – was too easy and many got it right.

A very interesting riddle surfaced today – Potatoes Attack – though I very much enjoy the riddle itself and the many attempts made to crack it, I did not participate.

Tuesday, 26 February 2008
Rest day! No answers, no riddles!

Wednesday, 27 February 2008
The Best Attack is a Good Defense – and many people gave many good guesses though none actually hit the bulls eye for this one. Still, it was jolly fun.

The latest riddle – Winning Strategy – another riddle which involves a ship.

Deimos’s Daily Reads
Posts that caught my attention today and made me showcase them here below. Wanna get down there? Drop your EntreCard into my Inbox. Higher chance of showing up here if you comment sincerely on my articles too.

There seems to be a little heated debated going on in a Singaporean Blog – the mighty Turnip of Power vs the She-Frog with an attitude, who wins?

Criticisms, just how well can you take ’em? Katalina shared with us her thoughts about it.

Ever heard of a silent mouse? I only got to know about it after muratos blogged about it.

Is your WordPress powered blog safe enough from malicious hackers? Keith caught my attention with a catchy title – Can Somebody Drive a Truck Through The Back Door Of Your WordPress Blog? He suggested several methods to make our WordPress powered blogs more secure. Some good advice there.

Not an EntreCarder, only got to know about this web comic via Project Wonderful – Spiky-Haired Dragon, Worthless Knight is a story about a Knight and a cute dragon which I find it to be quite an amusing, certainly entertaining read and times. Worth a read if one likes web comics.

Deimos’s Thoughts
Personally, I feel that the Geek Riddler has found a niche of his own – Riddle Blogs and maybe it is that I have yet to see another blog which operates like the Geek Riddler – A riddle and an answer a day. The best part is that his riddles are so good, that it keep folks coming back for more! Plus, the riddles are also not that lengthy and some are quite short but it makes us think about it and return the other day to check out if we guessed correctly.

Keep up the good work yo!

Fellow Bloggers, EntreCarders, so have you visited the Geek Riddler’s domain before? What do you think of his riddles? Attempted to solve one and ended up drying up your brain juices?

    Yeah, it’s a really innovative concept for a site. I wonder where he gets all those riddles? I’d love to work on them everyday, but concentrating too hard each and every day just takes too much effort. Plus, when I get it wrong, it’s so publicly embarrassing.

    I accidentally saw the argument on the singaporean blog, I don’t know how but I had incoming link coming from that article. There’s an argument so I didn’t comment at all.

    said the following:

    @Wan Kong Yew: The riddles are original and many of them are impossible (unless you’re a mind reader πŸ˜€ ). The challenge for most of them isn’t to find the correct answer, but to come up with a creative / funny solution. Some of the solutions people come up with are quite ridiculous, and they know it, but they post them anyway, just for fun.

    My intention is to build a site where people post any solution they have for the riddles, and have a good laugh (or at least a smile) in the process. People who read the comments would smile (or laugh) too, and nobody should be embarassed.

    I hope to continue to see you around, and thank you, I’m taking what you said about concentrating as a compliment :mrgreen:
