0 rookie1ja Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 Welcome to the Den, aliz8. Let me direct your attention to the forum rules (see the big link at the top - "Important: READ BEFORE POSTING"). Especially the part about doing search if you post a puzzle/riddle that you have not created. The point about searching is also visible when you start a new topic - there is a pink box saying "Remember that you can use the search feature to check if your puzzle is already part of this site." That way we try to ensure that always new brain teaser is provided. Thread locked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
