All Riddler Barley Riddles and Answers in KCD2

Here are the riddles that Riddler Barley may ask you, along with their correct answers:

• First Riddle:

  • Question: What belongs to you alone, but is used more often by others?
  • Answer: My name
  • Reward: 150 Groschen or a skill buff

• Second Riddle:

  • Question: Once upon a time there was a fool of a farmer. Family he had none, no stable boys either, so he talked to his animals instead. And, good man that he was, whenever he made a Groschen or two, he shared it with them according to his own rules. Every hen in the coop was paid five Groschen, every bee in the hive 15, and the spider in the loft bagged a full twenty Groschen. And now you tell me, how much did the cat get?
  • Answer: 10 (The farmer pays animals based on their number of legs: Hens (2 legs) get 5 Groschen, bees (6 legs) get 15 Groschen, and spiders (8 legs) get 20 Groschen. Therefore, a cat (4 legs) would get 10 Groschen.)
  • Reward: 200 Groschen or a skill buff

• Third Riddle:

  • Question: Jaromir the coachman hailed from Raborsch. One morning, he set off for Kuttenberg with an empty coach. Three lads boarded in Bohunowitz. When he arrived in Bojischt, one of the boys got out and a washerwoman took his place. In Horschan, the washerwoman went on her way and a pedlar and his daughter boarded. In Pschitoky, the remaining lads alighted and took the pedlar's daughter with them. And straight away, two fishermen got in. And on reaching Kuttenberg that evening, they invited the coachman to the bathhouse and got pig-drunk. And now you tell me, what was the coachman's name?
  • Answer: Jaromir
  • Reward: 300 Groschen or a skill buff

• Fourth Riddle:

  • Question: A bailiff has twelve men join up for service one day. The bailiff was glad, but soon discovered that he didn't have enough gear for them in the armoury. So those twelve men filed onto the square for the next morning's roll call. Six of them were wearing body armour, four had helmets. Only three of them wore both a helmet and body armour. Now, tell me, how many men were unlucky enough not to have either a helmet or armour?
  • Answer: Five (Of the 12 men, 6 wore armor and 4 wore helmets. Three wore both, meaning 3 wore only armor and 1 wore only a helmet. Therefore, 3 + 1 + 3 = 7 men had some form of protection, leaving 5 without any.)
  • Reward: 300 Groschen or a skill buff
