Guest guest Posted September 30, 2001 Report Share Posted September 30, 2001 ___________________ TODAY'S RIDDLE _____________________ My first is a number, my second another, And each, I assure you, will rhyme with the other. My first you will find is one-fifth of my second, And truly my whole a long period reckoned. Yet my first and my second (nay, think not I cozen), When added together will make but two dozen. How many am I? ___________________________________________________________ Four and score (twenty).

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2001 Report Share Posted October 8, 2001 __________________ TODAY'S RIDDLE _____________________ There was a shipwreck at sea and Buck, Lance and Jack were washed ashore on a small island. Reaching the shore, exhausted, they all fell asleep. Buck woke first and saw that a box of bananas had been washed ashore. He ate one third of the bananas and went back to sleep. Next, Lance woke up an seeing the box of bananas, ate one third of what was left and fell asleep. Jack woke up next and assumed that the other two hadn't eaten any bananas, so he ate one third of what remained. When Jack had finished, there were eight bananas left over. How many bananas were in the box originally? ___________________________________________________________ YESTERDAY'S RIDDLE: I dig out tiny caves, and store gold and silver in them. I also build bridges of silver and make crowns of gold. They are the smallest you could imagine. Sooner or later everybody needs my help, yet many people are afraid to let me help them. Who am I? YESTERDAY'S ANSWER: A Dentist. ~~ You have it easily in your power to increase the sum total of this world's happiness now. How? By giving a few words of sincere appreciation to someone who is lonely or discouraged. --- Dale Carnegie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
