0 plasmid Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 Perhaps this is more of a play-on-words variety of riddle? "Under half-dozens along with fives" may refer to a keyboard layout, pointing to the letter T. "Between a tiger's growl" (the letter R) "and a leafless tree" (Y) would also be T. Not sure about beneath mountains (makes me think M) and awkward eyes (maybe j) or step up from third (#) beyond fail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must be right with mountains = ^ and awkward eyes being % and step up from third (row) beyond fail (F). Nice one, plasmid! and of course to the Shakee as well.
