I like using one I only remember from my dad when I was a kid and I don’t know where it came from, nor have I ever seen it used in popular media the way others have, like the two doors/liar puzzle or the weighted jug one.
It involves two gold ropes hanging from rings in the ceiling which is high enough to die from should you fall. The puzzle requires obtaining both lengths of rope without dying. I can’t remember the whole thing off-hand (I have it written down, physically in a notebook; but it’s still in a box buried in a closet right now). It’s such a convoluted puzzle that if I hadn’t written the whole thing, and the solution down, I can’t remember it and would never be able to solve it if I ran into it.

You’re gonna have to dig that puzzle and answer up and challenge lemmy properly!
Is the answer Fly?
The riddle wasn’t meant for D&D so I would have to put it in a place where magic is prohibited. Or with a party that doesn’t have a magic user.
I formally request you please bring out the puzzle notepad, and at least give us the riddle. Maybe with the answer in a spoiler
like this,
for example.
It’s written in this way:

but with three : instead of two, per set.
Edited it into my previous comment :)
