Question

Sorry if this is too simple, or too stupid.

What animal do you get if you take away dad from Abba?

(for those of you who are going "What?!?!?!", there is a legitimate answer)

Please post answer anywhere, but explanation in spoilers.

I'd say..

transpose a couple of letters and put it up to a mirror.. leaves you with "a"- not sure what animal that could be

Just a guess:

Any animal?

Dad is English (or American) and Abba is Aramaic for the same concept. Take "American" and "Aramaic" and subtract the common letters, you get ANE or An E or "ANY"

A hog

set it up as a subtraction where the letters of the words represent their "number" in the alphabet. 1221-414 = 807 or HOG

O is the 0th letter of the alphabet?

No guess, but...

I was thinking it has to do with the band, Abba. That would explain the title...

Unless it was merely done to mislead the simple minded :)

I figured that complaint wasn't long in coming. And I agree completely. The "logic" isn't sound.

I'm just guessing that's what the puzzler was looking for. Do you have a better solution?? :)

I was thinking the same thing, especially since ABBA is an acronym for the first letters of the four members' first names. I couldn't find any reference to any of them being "dad" though, and couldn't think of an animal even if you took a letter out...I guess you could make BAA and say it's a sheep

:P

That's my solution. :D:rolleyes:-_-:mellow::huh:

And I know not everyone would like this one, which led to my disclaimer above the OP. That being said, not every puzzle can be a 5-star puzzle.

'o' is not the 0th letter of the alphabet
