Riddle Me This

Ali Buba owns a very valuable diamond that he keeps in a wooden box in his tent. The box is covered with a sliding wooden lid. Inside the box is a snake that has a poisonous bite so deadly it will kill a man instantly. Ishmael broke into Ali's tent one morning and within moments he had stolen the diamond. Ishmael did not touch the snake in any way, nor did he wear any protection on his hands. After Ishmael had left, the box was intact and the snake unharmed. How was Ishmael able to remove the diamond from the box without any special tools or help? You can leave me a comment and ask me questions that I can answer "yes" "no" or "irrelevant". I will post your comment with my answer.

  2. The theif turned the box upside down, slide the lid open just enough to shake the diamond out and closed the lid again.

  3. It sounds like you've heard some riddles from the infamous villain the Riddler on the famous superhero comic "Batman". Ha! ha! ha! On the show he would always say "Riddle me this". You would have to figure out the clues to his riddles!
