1 Thalia Posted March 15, 2018 Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 Still struggling with the last line. Paper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 flamebirde Posted March 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 (edited) Nope. Bit more common than that. Edited March 9, 2018 by flamebirde Elaboration Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Tylerj21 Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 how about... Spoiler Fire? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 flamebirde Posted March 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 Nope. Look more at the first line: what's the "mother's blessing"? I think Molly understood that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 flamebirde Posted March 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 A hint: Spoiler Mother's blessing is milk. What's the same color as milk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Thalia Posted March 14, 2018 Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 (edited) Maybe not quite white but Ice or crystal? Edited March 14, 2018 by Thalia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 flamebirde Posted March 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 Thalia: a solid guess, but no cigar. Hint #2: Spoiler Partner in drinking refers to what a cup is made of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 flamebirde Posted March 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 My intention was like this: As pure in shade as mother's blessing true, (so same color as milk) And yet in form I'm still possessing, too; (so not liquid... The other way the line could be taken would be about origami, but that was just a secondary thought) Partner both in math and drinking (math for math papers, drinking as in paper cups) I was born of man's quick thinking (because truth be told paper kinda blows my mind still) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Thalia Posted March 15, 2018 Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 Lol. I saw people making it on tv once. The process is pretty impressive. Think it was a specialized kind though. Not good for mass production. Nice riddle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 flamebirde Posted March 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 Incidentally, the title was a hint too: plain in color, and also plain -->plane, since a piece of paper is flat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol. That's what lead to one of the other guesses. Plain to see--> crystal clear. Crystal would be fancier drinking cups though. And I couldn't quite call it white.
