0 Guest Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 [spoiler=Almost definitely not correct ]I'm going to think outside the box and say Pacman He sweeps accross the screen, sort of, and without the cherries he can die. Not sure about the cutting part though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 (edited) Sorry not correct, but I thought that since you come from that part of the wolrd you would have a better chance of guessing it. Edited May 25, 2011 by mailboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aww now you have me intrigued ! I was going to guess again with something along the lines of a blackjack dealer/card player? This would be more relevant to somewhere such as America (Vegas) though would it not? I wonder what my area has to offer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you provide some explanation on how the answer applies to the three points of the riddle, particularly the third? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 (edited) Sweep and cut are both types of shots in cricket (there are more but I did not use them all for the sake of the rhyme.) And the cricket ball is often referred to as a cherry,and if the batsmen misses the ball he COULD be out - loose his life. Hope this clarifies the riddle.
