0 plainglazed Posted February 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 is it a question? oh gosh ummmmmmmmmm ... a... opinion?fact? bah.......... im just a 10 year old! i cant figure it out~! hey Cutsipye192 - dont think I've ever had the pleasure. thanks for responding to my riddle. I'm not really asking a question nor is question the answer to the riddle. am afraid neither are your answers in your second response. will say that "fact" is close to the first part. you need to break it down. one word answer for each of the first two couplets and the third couplet is meant to describe both the word made by combining the first two words as well as the structure I've just described. please come back and give it another shot. thanks again.

Hello there JustinTyme and welcome to the Den. Not what I had in mind but I really appreciate your logic. Very creative and spot on in regard to my style and these types in particular (save for that one little addition in the end; this one is still just A+B=AB). I especially like your answer to the first couplet. Thought I had covered all the bases there but your answer fits perfectly for that one. My bad. Cant wait to see what you come up with next. Most impressive first post. Co-ordination or Relativity? Hey Wilson-not those my friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 plainglazed Posted February 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 Hey all - JustinTyme has the answer - nice assessment JT. Here's some quickie explanations- That "any number of things" part was meant as a reference to real (nonimaginary) numbers. In the last line of the second couplet the "to settle down" is like in "move to a new place" and the last half of that line as in to "turn up". And, as I think I mentioned somewhere in the thread, the last couplet was intended to describe the combined word as well as the riddles format. Real + Locate = Reallocate As for the title- Rational as in reasonable/keeping it real as well as what I thought might be a hint to that numbers clue but unintentionally (drats) served more to mislead and root not just as in a pig hunting truffles but also more generally to unearth, bring to light, locate. Thanks to all who played along. Sure was fun from this end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
