0 Guest Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 Not God. Nice guess though. Problem is if you believe in an omnipotent God, that could be the answer for any riddle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 Not power either. For the first stanza, each paired lines will all agree with the same answer, and all will agree with the last 4 lines. In other words, the same answer will be applicable to each: A A B B C C D D E F G H So if your answer doesn't fit one of the items, it's incorrect.

It's funny cos I was working on getting the g in too, and it was ringing loud in my head but could not see it... First is frst, second is nowhere!

0 Guest Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 It is, indeed, the letter G. (great one with "not hitting the spot") Here's the skinny: Never have I joined the masses But I always seem to join the throng (not in "masses" but in "throng") Never have I flexed my muscles But I’m always seen as great and strong (not in "muscles", but in "strong") Never have I sung a tune But without me there is no song (etc.) Never have I been mistaken But when I’m right I’m in the wrong (etc.) I can make love seem common (makes love = glove) I can bring new value to old (makes old = gold) I can turn the rain to wheat (makes rain = grain) I can make a ripped rope hold (makes "ripped rope" a "gripped rope") Glad you all had fun on that one.

0 Guest Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 HA! I thought the last line was intended to turn "rope" into "grope." Which, of course, is another way to hold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Question
Guest
Maybe a bit easy, but I needed a distraction.
Never have I joined the masses
But I always seem to join the throng
Never have I flexed my muscles
But I’m always seen as great and strong
Never have I sung a tune
But without me there is no song
Never have I been mistaken
But when I’m right I’m in the wrong
I can make love seem common
I can bring new value to old
I can turn the rain to wheat
I can make a ripped rope hold
