ok i enjoy riddles but suck at solving them...I thought maybe I could start a thread of riddles ..then those who guess can leave their answers and maybe another riddle to be guessed......when you answer just use the name of the poster that asked the riddle....example

nonothing's riddle - your answer

if anyone enjoys a good brain tease with their morning coffee feel free to test yourself and the rest of us.....thankyou for your time...



Ok here is my riddle:

How quickly can you find out what is so unusual about this paragraph? It looks so ordinary that you would think that nothing is wrong with it at all, and, in fact, nothing is. But it is unusual. Why? If you study it and think about it, you may find out, but I am not going to assist you in any way. You must do it without coaching. No doubt, if you work at it for long, it will dawn on you. Who knows? Go to work and try your skill. Par is about half an hour.

There is not a single letter "e" in the whole deal. :)

Yep soapweed you got it right..did you beat the half hour time limit....... :)


Ok here is another



"Think of words ending in -GRY. Angry and hungry are two of them. There are only three words in the English language. What is the third word? The word is something that everyone uses every day. If you have listened carefully, I have already told you what it is."

Yep lilly got it :) ...... Ok I hope this one is tougher...lol....




Three words are bonded in a mutual tie
And a pattern within them hides from the eye

One word is a being in entertainment's sake
That brings to people many words, fact and fake

Another word is conformed to a word meaning "chilly"
But it's also a style, yes! Really really!

The last word resides in the pit of our fears
And it waits for us at the end of our years

With these words in order, try to find the design
Where the outsides change, and the middle stays lined

I am going to say "words". That is the third word in "Think of words......"

There is no real third word that ends in 'gry'. The only two words that do are "angry" and "hungry".

"Words" will be my guess.

" Only one color, but not one size; stuck to the ground, yet easily flies. Present in sun, but not in rain; doing no harm, and feeling no pain. What is it?"

I agree Ranchwife, these are fun, although I'm really bad at them.

Here's the only one I know, and I'm sure everyone else knows it too.

What's black & white and read all over?

Cheers---

TTB :wink:
