Reply With QuoteThe letter 'n'?
Riddles
Thought we could do with a riddles thread...
so here's the first one:
- It's at the beginning of the night
- It's there again in the middle of the morning
- You can see it when looking at the moon.
So, what is it?
The letter 'n'?
what gets wetter the more you dry!!
that was quick! too easy?
care to suggest another one DF?
Under Pars - A towel
This is pretty easy as well, especially given most people will be thinking the right way already, but it's too good not to post:Originally Posted by Caro
Letitia has a large one, and so has cousin Luce.
Eliza has a small one, though large enough for use.
Beneath a soft and glossy curl, each Lass has one in front.
To find it in an animal, you at the tail must hunt.
Hermaphrodites have none; Mermaids are minus too.
Nell Gwynn possessed a double share, if books we read are true.
It's used by all in Nuptial Bliss, in Carnal Pleasures found.
Destroy it, Life becomes extinct, the world is but a sound.
Lasciviousness here has its sources, Harlots its use apply.
Without it, Lust has never been, and even Love would die.
Now tell me what this wonder is, but pause before you guess it.
If you are mother, maid, or man, I swear you don't possess it.
very nice indeed, letter 'L'
How about this one:
How can you make 4 triangles with 6 matches ?
7 triangles with 9 matches?
(triangles must all have the same size)
Looks like the letter 'L' to me ? But I've never been good at riddles - now ruddles... that's a different matter
But this one I do know... you make a 3D pyramid with the first answer, and a 3D diamond for the second. Not sure how better to describe it on a forum....
This works better in real life with matchsticks, but it is a good one
Nothing beats "What have I got in my pockets" though ?
Here's one that may stretch your brain...
1
11
21
1211
111221
312211
13112221
What number comes next?
how about 1113213211 ?
even when I check the dictionary, I don't get the differenceThis works better in real life with matchsticks, but it is a good one
Matchstick: A short slender piece of wood from which a match is made
Match: a narrow piece, usually of wood or cardboard, coated on one end with a compound that ignites when scratched against a rough or chemically treated surface.
I'll get my coat and start the cerocfrance forum... might feel a bit lonely though

I think he was just meaning it didn't work well online - rather than making a comment on match v.s. matchstick.even when I check the dictionary, I don't get the difference
Thats how I read it too
yes indeed. Perhaps misdirecting everyone by mentioning matchsticks again was a riddle in itself but i was only agreeing
and a penknife and a cork !!!!
