0 Guest Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 My initial reaction was a penny (cents / sense), but I'm now leaning towards the truth. The first line is what's throwing me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's why: Upon just a hundredth of the problem-Reffering to a penny (the dollar is a problem right now, and a hundredth of a dollar is a penny) I am often spread around,-Pennies are nearly entirely made up of zinc, except for a small copper coating to give it its color Bringing sure enlightenment-Copper wires bring electricity to peoples' homes, which is used to turn on lights and "enlighten" people I readily can be found. Purveyor of life and waste alike-Tricky: copper pipes bring water to houses and remove sewage as well It's not that hard, you see, Now you must guess- what am I? It's truly elementary! -The biggest hint I left in a verse that otherwise could've been left out: Elementary refers to Carbon on the periodic table. Again, great guess, really hard puzzle!
