That's one of the answers. I don't think anyone will get the other one. I'll leave it open in case someone does.

You can post a riddle if you want or I'll make one up.

Gift!
Giftcard, giftbox, giftbag, giftcode (so you can redeem it), gifthaste!

...whadya mean "gifthaste isn't a word"?!

By the way, can you put the old riddles up, too? It's kinda weird to see answers that don't belong to questions. (It would also be nice to have the answers attached to the questions in some secretive way...)

again... Oh well,

He said, "You'll sentence me to six years in prison." cause if it was true, the judge would have to make it false by sentencing him to 4 years. if it was false, then he would have to give him 6 years, but then it would make it true. Rather than contradicting his own word, the judge set the man free.

It's a decode. But beyond the decoding lies another thing you have to figure out if you want a prize from me.

Decode this for 10,000 credits. Tell me where it's from and you get 100,000 credits.

My only guess for the 100,000 credits is from Mr. Rubix's 10 stage puzzle thread.

10k credits for you. The 100k guess is incorrect.

Let me reiterate on the 100k credits. The actual pattern of decoding is well known, but it depends if you have actually seen it. You should also be glad that I didn't keep key nouns as is in the "language" (hint hint).

Dropping prize to 75k now because there is a minor hint.

Well, I have no idea. I used the 10,000 as a guideline and thought credits. I have no idea on the last part. Not much of a decoder person.

Number sequence:
1 / 11 / 21 / 1211 / ...

Slashes separate terms in the sequence.
The sequence continues infinitely. State the next three terms to win.

(Hint coming evening of Dec 12, but if you wait until then, someone else will figure it out)
Edit: Good job.

Oh, hey Mikey, can you put the answers to the riddles in [spoiler] tags? That'd be awesome, thanks.

Left
Because you cant see the door Razz

EDIT: since Z confirmed this was right, im posting a new riddle.

A boy was at a carnival and went to a booth where a man said to the boy, "If I write your exact weight on this piece of paper then you have to give me $50, but if I cannot, I will pay you $50."

The boy looked around and saw no scale so he agrees, thinking no matter what the carny writes he'll just say he weighs more or less.

In the end the boy ended up paying the man $50. How did the man win the bet?
