Come on Tomas - if a Canadian can't get it, what hope the rest of us? I give up...

and I even read the lists of all Canadian cities on Wikipedia! Rolleyes

It's a big city. The name of the city (one word) consists of two main parts. What is a garage? What does the garage do? What do you put in a garage? Something 4-wheeled.

I suppose Vancouver might have something about covering (in French) a Van (in English) - both languages being spoken in Canada?

Wow - four posts in two minutes! Double simultaneous posting!

Riddle Time

My first is in tea but not in leaf
My second is in teapot and also in teeth
My third is in caddy but not in cosy
My fourth is in cup but not in rosy
My fifth is in herbal and also in health
My sixth is in peppermint and always in wealth
My last is in drink, so what can I be?
I�m there in a classroom, do you listen to me?

Teacher - and only when it is my friend! Big Grin

Thank you!

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 read carefully, I have already told you what it is.

Hah that's a trick question as their is no other word that ends in "GRY" however by taking each letter seperatly, we have "G" "R" and "Y", another word for Angry is "Fuming" which ends in "G", now "R" is more of a stretch, Hungry when personified is "eager" so "R" The word i need ends in "Y" and you aready said it. The answer is.

*Drumroll*

Every.

My teacher asked me that before, and the answer stuck with me.

Good one!!!

But wrong. Tongue

Re-read the riddle very carefully. The answer to the question is not the answer you imagine but the answer you read. Wink

I was wrong...

Crap...Stupid teachers telling me the wrong answers XD

I got nothing then...this is tough.

Analyse it the way you would a maths problem. Separate (list) the statements. Decide to which statement the question refers. Then you have the answer!

It's still a trick question, but I am led to assume it means the third word in a sentence. So my guess would have to be, "hungry."

Oooh.... so close!

Nearly there! Look again. Does the question refer to the first, second or third statement?

I'm a riddle in nine syllables,
An elephant, a ponderous house,
A melon strolling on two tendrils
O red fruit, Ivory, fine timber!
The loaf's big with it's yeasty rising
Money's new minted in this fat purse.
I'm a means, a stage, a cow in calf.
I've eaten a bag of green apples
Boarded the train there's no getting off.

I puzzled long and hard about this. The only thing I could come up with, weak I know, is a pregnant woman?

Puckorz Wrote:

Correct

XD

Woo hoo! Good grief, I got it. Cool All those years of my childhood being tortured mentally by similar riddles, that my darling father just loved to inflict on us Tongue , have finally paid off! Big Grin

Now what? I wonder if I can remember one...

Oh, an easy one:

When I'm small I'm in the middle, turn me around I'm the same; but turn me upside down and I'm senseless.

When I'm big I'm central, turn me around I'm the same; turn me upside-down and you change me not at all.

Sorry, I missed out some important information:

I am a word.

When I'm small I'm in the middle, turn me around I'm the same; but turn me upside down and I'm senseless.

When I'm big I'm central, turn me around I'm the same; turn me upside-down and you change me not at all.

Aha! The letter I! *grins and dances*

Good call, I hadn't thought of that one! (Clever dick... Tongue ) but, strictly speaking I isn't actually a word, is it? And what about the bit of the riddle about 'being in the middle? The middle of what, exactly? Tee hee - I'm not saying!

EvilZakkie Wrote:

Ok... hmmm....

Here be one!:

One is a key, but not in the good way;
One shares a humorous story while lisping;
One is not slow, nor does his voice echo;
One does not know whether to bounce or fly;
One barely the highest;
One beautifully Italian;
All are scattered, yet all united.

What they be?

Sounds like the members of AFF - a well-constructed riddle! Big Grin

BUT you are still wrong - I is not a word! Or the answer - in the middle or centre of what?

Me neither.
