Hi!

Paul - your reply has been a teaser and may be we should qualify it as a riddle by itself. But I am glad that you decided to post a reply.

Regarding 1969, take a piece of paper and a sketch pen or marker, write tis number, turn it upside down and you will find that it reads the same.

The next time this will happen is in the year 6009.

Turned upside down it would read the same.

as for a new riddle let us give a 12 hour gap shall we.

Hi!

I had said we give the next riddle a twelve hour gap.
I might not be online for longer than that.
Better to be early than late.
Do we call it exceeding customer expectations - in CRM lingo.

Any way here goes:

"I have a heart that never beats,
I have a home but I never sleep.
I can take a mans' house and build anothers,
And I love to play games with my many brothers
Who am I"

As confessions go let me make mine. I guess I'd not have figured it first round by myself, nor might have bothered to. After seeing the answer it was so simple that I thought we should have a go!

I thought of putting the answer alongside - but did not want to be a spoil sport.

So folks be a sport and post your answers. this should be up Wiggle's and Marianne's sleeve.

Have a nice time

A Card?

Hi!

Welcome back Marianne - and you were right - it is a card and the king of hearts at that.

Here is the one I got asked today -

"Why did the banana visit the doctor?"

Hi!

"The Banana went to the Doctor Because it was not peeling well."

Here is the new riddle:


"If a wheel has 64 spokes, how many spaces are there between the spokes?"

Hi!

Let me start by correcting a TYPO on the year to 1961 in the reply to the riddle on what happened in 1961, and will take another four thousand years plus to happen.

As for the spokes, there are as many spaces as there are spokes so there are 64 spaces.

Here's riddle I would like to pose:

Riddle Zone has reached a point where there are close to fifty replies and about twenty riddles.

I'd personally like to lock it and maybe start a riddle zone 2 for the interaction part after a brief holiday, so that a full length browse during one of those idle moments does not take more than 15 minutes.

But I'd like to have some feed back.

This is the riddle for this post and the answers shall be posted by you!

Regards
Mahidhar

Hi!

Just to let you know that Riddle Zone thread will be locked for a while.

It was fun with this thread and I hope every one of us liked it too.

This thread is being locked so that a full length browse of the interaction here does not exceed 15 minutes of breaktime, and is punctuated with interaction and not a whole sequence that could be copy-pasted for later review only to be forgotten.

Incidentally this thread has scored Half A Century, in less than 50 balls, days I meanand it has been fun.

Thanks John for providing the Playground, and thanks to the team that made this innings of riddle zone gripping.

The team as any body reading in now will note comprised:


Tarun Srivastava

Jubril SABA

Jayne Tunstall

Lynne Magennis

Wiggle Puss

Paul Dulfo-Stagg

Marianne Marrou

Mahidhar Thorve.

Lets take a break.

As I've said earlier, Riddle Zone is meant to make a break refreshing, rather to make anybody take a break.

Have a nice time and happy calling.

Mahidhar
