A certain crime is punishable if attempted but not punishable if committed. What is it?

Suicide.

[Screened] sacrificia_l May 23 2008, 15:09:34 UTC

Well done. That is a correct response.

One would think that attempting suicide would not be a crime, since there were measures taken back in our reality to treat depression of that magnitude as an illness.

Actually, the Suicide Act 1961 decriminalised suicide in the UK, but details like that take the fun out of riddles.

Coup d'etat...

[Screened] sacrificia_l May 23 2008, 15:12:58 UTC

My favourite answer. Correct.

Two crimes; Suicide and a Coup d'etat.
Interesting riddle, L.

[Private] sacrificia_l May 24 2008, 00:28:03 UTC

Isn't it, though?

.....A......revolution? Though, that doesn't make sense...it's not really a crime....

Either that or successfully stealing cookies out of the jar.

[Screened] sacrificia_l May 24 2008, 00:33:54 UTC

No?

Stealing cookies out of a jar... Quite punishable, in my opinion.

[Screened] handofjustice May 23 2008, 17:44:32 UTC

Suicide, generally. But what does that have to do with anything?

[Screened] sacrificia_l May 24 2008, 00:35:18 UTC

Correct.

Do you find a deeper meaning within the riddle?

[Screened] handofjustice May 25 2008, 17:47:51 UTC

Not really, I was just wondering why you chose to ask it. It doesn't seem relevant to the situation at hand...

Though I suppose you could have just been killing time.
