Congrats bluedenim you got it right. the answer is Language. your turn to post a Riddle now. Good luck
November 10, 2012 at 6:20 am #75185You are at a river. With you are a Chicken, Bag of Grain, and a Wolf.
You have to cross the river in your canoe but can only take one with you at a time.
You can't leave the chicken with the grain. He'll eat it.
You can't leave the wolf with the chicken. He'll eat it.
How do you get everything over and intact?Good luck!

November 10, 2012 at 7:39 am #75186AnonymousI learned this in Programming 101
1. you take the chicken across
2. you return alone
3. you take the bag of grain across
4. you bring the chicken back with you
5. you take the wolf across
6. you return alone
7. you take the chicken acrossYou just have to hope the wolf is not so hungry he eats the grain or that the chicken runs away in search of food or that the bag of grain doesn't sink the boat

November 10, 2012 at 7:59 am #75188AnonymousI like this one because it is an excellent little poem too….
Ah! If I get my good ship home
I'll find a tempting spot,
Where mayhap pleasant flowers will bloom,
And there I'll shape a charming cot.Where bees sip nectar in each flower,
And Philomel on hawthorn rests,
I'll shape a rustic, sun-kissed bower –
A bower meet for angel guests.Then she who lives and loves with me,
Will sing our days of calm repose,
Sole monarch of the flowers will be –
For Myra is indeed a rose.There are twelve fruits hidden in the poem. Can you find them all?
I'll give you the one in the first line…

November 10, 2012 at 5:17 pm #75191wow that is really cool . is more of puzzle then a riddle but who cares lol very nice.
November 10, 2012 at 5:44 pm #75192OK, here's another little teaser……
There is a clothing store in Oakridge. The owner has devised his own method of pricing items. A vest costs $20, socks cost $25, a tie costs $15 and a blouse costs $30. Using the method, how much would a pair of underwear cost?
November 10, 2012 at 8:02 pm #7519335 or 10.
November 10, 2012 at 8:42 pm #75194It's a conundrum. $45.oo if you're using just underwear. If a pair means 2 then it's $90.00. But, if we're supposed to figure a pair of underwear, then it's $80.00.
Also… If you go to that store in Oakridge next month, it won't cost anything. He'll be out of business.
This is a simple one:

November 10, 2012 at 8:49 pm #75195AnonymousI'm not sure about that…
vest=4, socks=5, tie=3 (i.e. no “a”) and at $5 per letter
so it is a “pair of underwear” which is 15 or $75 or, if you include the blanks, it is $85November 11, 2012 at 1:41 am #75196now I'm little confused. whats the right answer? lol
November 11, 2012 at 7:25 am #75197the right answer was $45
it's done on the number of letters
$5 per letter
underwear is 9 letters so 9 x 5Lolz

November 11, 2012 at 8:00 am #75198Anonymousthen, strictly speaking, it should have said “how much does underwear cost” but never mind.
