What's green and red and goes round and round?

It'll be five words.

Why are you bothering with bullshit riddles in the first place and not just eating people?

Christmas?

What is the name of the serpent that never bites,but is always lunging?

I will tell you the answer if you get in this contraption.

A greenandred circle rolling downahill

Who the fuck cries with words?

What can you feel without touching?

What can you see with your eyes closed?

Emotions and thoughts

What is the word that people shout the loudest?

I like how you think, but no.

Cry doesn't only mean bawling.

I think I should've reworded it somehow better.

>Who speaks with no words, yet can be heard by everyone

A red and green carousel.

The second one was supposed to be darkness but I'll allow it

What's green, sits on a wall and squeaks?

I'm going to take a stab in the dark and say "The voice in your head". If not, I give up.

An Ork Speed Freak?

The wind?

Sorry, nope. Although, that is a very good alternative answer.

Righterino.

I don't know about you, but the voice in my head is always very lingual. Complete sentences and everything.

>His head voice doesn't scream incoherently all the time
Some people have it too good.

The wind doesn't speak. If anything, writing would be a better fit, since when you read you literally hear a voice that isn't actually speaking.

A frog in a blender.

The wind..?

If you don't become one, tears are brought to everyone but you.

That's why it was originally 'cry' rather than speak.

A faggot or wojak or a person/human.
Case in point.

An orphan

An adult.

A guy who repairs damaged books?

Pic related?

That makes no sense. Why would everyone else cry because your parents are alive?

That's actually a clever answer but it only works in writing.

Fucking teeeeeeeeaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEE!

I did say a person/human.

They're crying at your funeral. The dead don't cry.

This still makes no sense. Adults aren't orphans.

Now I'm imagining getting a 500-line logic problem from the Sphynx. Every poor adventurer has to carry around a calculator with a copy of prolog to get by.

You will kill me with a sword.

>A sense that has saved your life many a time, but it does not work alone.
Pretty much any sense at all.

Silence!
