Good try but not even close, try again before asking for the next one ; P

A child?

technically you give me a child we both owe that child a debt to make sure that s/he has a bright future so no... but I can see how a child would fit sadly in today's standards.

I give you a child and owe you money for the next 18 years. I'd say it fits.

[_sabotage_]

I give you a private central bank and the debt is going to be trillions.

you would still be in the child's debt the child...

I'll take the private central bank without the debt thank you ;p

Ok a hint guys... think more metaphorical... what could you metaphorically give me that would put you in debt?

Awww come on do I have to answer them all - let this one run so other people could have some fun but this is silly now

Invdr_zim I promise you that I know the answer

[rishaed]

a trip to the hospital

p.s. riddles that have tons of correct answers but only one "right" answer are stupid.

now that depends on why you are sending me to the hospital... too vague... sorry if you disagree

Its not that your answer was bad it was too indirect... if you specified what you meant you would have got it

[Invdr_zim]

In a foul bet against a blood thirsty imp I wagered my head.
Much to my dismay I lost the bet. Yet I didn't lose my head.

What did I do to prevent the loss of my head?

Hint: I did not kill the imp and for those who will ask no the
imp didn't have a sudden change of heart, he was actually
very upset about not getting a chance at beheading me.

[john9blue]

you welched on the bet

[Invdr_zim]

you welched on the bet

Nope, I did not cheat or back out or refuse to "payment"... that would only get me in worse trouble... No I am thankfully very smart or I would never have wagered my head to begin with...

Here's a bonus question to this same riddle: tell me who "I am" and tell me what happens next after I saved my head...

[crispybits]

You are Zaphod Bebblebrox and after you gave the imp (one of) your head(s) you ran away with Trillian and lived happily ever after...

[Invdr_zim]

lmfao... clever as ever but no... if no one gets it I will give you credit for most clever answer

I only have one head that's all I need though most, I'm sure, would argue that's one head too many...

[_sabotage_]

Your avatar is a bit like a blood thirsty imp ; ).

[rishaed]

The imp also lost the bet b/c if you told the truth you would be beheaded, and if you lied you would beheaded, therefor you made a statement in which neither was possible.
