plainglazed Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 Once I was in conflict with Your winning more than twice. But now I am beginning To ignore all your advice. Starting out with nothing, It's easy to lose one's face. Now and then, from beginning to end You end up fallen from grace. For who is the center of attention, It never much mattered to me. So one for one, none for all Has become your chosen finale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 plainglazed Posted August 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 Once I was in conflict with Your winning more than twice. - N, or IN (both of which are in conflict), or INN But now I am beginning - A To ignore all your advice. Starting out with nothing, It's easy to lose one's face. - THING Now and then, from beginning to end You end up fallen from grace. - G, or RACE (race goes from beginning to end) For who is the center of attention, - TENT It never much mattered to me. So one for one, none for all Has become your chosen finale. Inn, Thing, Race, and Tent can all afford to lose a letter: In, Thin, Ace, Ten, which leaves behind: N, G, R, T Overall: GRANT? You grant advice, you take grants if you have no money and need it, but I don't get the other verses DN - some undoubtedly very clever interpretations. esp like the beginning to end / race read. (not my intended read) I dont think the derivation of the answer is that complicated (of course). Hey PG. Time for one before heading to work. Conjugation? hey Wilson - No, nothing to do with that. But am not very good with grammar so apologize if that is what led you there. Have a good day, hope you can drop back by. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 DudleyDude Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 Wait...I'm a little confused. You had two riddles with the same answer (this and inconsideration)? I know!! Now I feel extra stupid for not getting this one. Very clever once again, PG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 plainglazed Posted August 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 Yes, I broke the "rules" I know. Such fun too. May have to go back and look at some of my others . Actually with the second was almost as much of a hint/nudge. No hard feelings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 No hard feelings at all, was just sooo confused as soon as I read Workinghard's post I knew it had to be right, but didn't know if you'd do that (hence the confusion). As always, a fabulous riddle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 This is one of those "oooooh" moments. Which means it's a good riddle ^^ I'm glad I was at least able to get the first verse, even if I ended up with the totally different answer of GRANT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 tiger_lily111 Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 -> self-disgust. Obviously should NOT have abandoned that line of reasoning for the crazy-thinking ... Oh well, was still fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
