All Riddler Barley Riddle Answers

 

First Riddle (Free Entry)

Riddle: What belongs to you alone, but is used more often by others?

Answer: My Name.

Reward: A choice between gold or a skill buff.

Second Riddle (100 Groschen Entry Fee)

Riddle:

A fool of a farmer had no family or stable boys, so he talked to his animals. Whenever he earned some Groschen, he shared it with them:

• Hens: 5 Groschen each
• Bees: 15 Groschen each
• Spider: 20 Groschen
• How much did the cat get?

Answer: 10 Groschen.

How it works: The farmer pays based on legs—each leg is worth 2.5 Groschen. A cat has 4 legs, so 4 × 2.5 = 10 Groschen.

Reward: Gold or a skill buff.

Third Riddle (150 Groschen Entry Fee)

Riddle:

A coachman set off for Kuttenberg. On his journey, he picked up and dropped off several passengers. In the end, he arrived and got drunk at the bathhouse.

Question: What was the coachman’s name?

Answer: Jaromir.

Trick: The answer is in the first sentence of the riddle. This one’s a memory test!

Reward: Gold or a skill buff.

Fourth Riddle (150 Groschen Entry Fee)

Riddle:

A bailiff recruits 12 men for service, but there’s not enough armor for all of them.

• 6 men have body armor.
• 4 men have helmets.
• 3 men have both.

Question: How many men don’t have any armor at all?

Answer: 5 men.

How it works:

• Total men: 12
• Wearing something (helmet/armor/both): 7
• Left with nothing: 12 - 7 = 5

Reward: Gold or a skill buff.

Should You Pick Gold or the Skill Buff?

• If you’re desperate for cash, you can take the gold from his pockets.
• But if you want a permanent bonus to your Skills, the buff is the better long-term choice.
