  1. It's gramatically and logically feasible to suppose that the "He" and the nephew are one in the same, whereas the uncle is actually some un-named and unmentioned somebody. EX: He didn't like it, but her brother ate the pizza anyway. In this case, "her" could just as easily be sibstituted with a third party "he." The perfect gentleman of the riddle would never literally observe himself being one, and the issue would be resolved.

    ...but if he is his own nephew, then he is either married to his aunt or his neice, which brings his 'gentlemanliness' into question...

  2. Not giving up, just thinking.

    not an object, Maybe altercation of some kind.

    starting to get a little off track... maybe rethink one of your assumptions?

    an apology?

    Not that, but that's an interesting take on it...

    Could it be DNA? You would use a myriad cut to get a blood sample to examine your DNA. DNA is in your hand, but that's where you might cut, and brothers, sisters, and cousins share DNA. Is this right?

    :help:

    No, sorry, not that... but welcome to BrainDen!!! And just keep throwing guesses out there (in spoilers so MK doesn't eat you), because even if you don't get the right answer, it feels almost as good when your wrong answer directly leads someone else to the correct one :thumbsup:

  3. Love? I don't really know, since I've never solved a dD riddle before. [Heck, I've barely seen dD around before!

    :P] But that's just kinda the first thing that came to mind..... :unsure: But yeah, I really don't even know how I came up with that......

    Not that :D... I usually try to keep it simple, taking a situation or object and spinning the riddle around it like a spider's web. The best approach is to try not to overthink it...

  4. You make an uneventful turn, yet surprising turn of events

    You study, try to learn, from the myriad cuts and dents

    Another try, another failure, another spiteful hiss

    Another time, another place, you'd surely see what's amiss

    One simple question solves it, your humor sorely marred

    One simple jape confounds it, your ego briefly scarred

    The answer oft lies within your hands, in one version or another

    The answer oft lies with crowded bands of sisters, cousins, brothers

    Open up this riddle's heart, and see what lies inside

    Open up this riddler's mind, to see what does reside.....

    @dD. Man, where have you been. Good to see you again.

    Way too much work & studying lately... I usually try to check in from time to time and see what's going on, but normally all the good puzzles are already solved by the time I get here shrug.gif
