If it's already up here, I'm sure you can be able to gloat that you got the answer too. Sorry, it's just annoying reading this and seeing 50 posts with the right answer, when the first person who answered it was on page 1 of 4... Granted, this particular riddle is semi-ok, considering Cherry confirmed the answer on page 3. But some of these riddles...
