This riddle will be given in many parts and has to involve a few rules based on our BrainDenizens' instinctual sense of justice and honesty The rules may seem odd, but they are necessary and were successful the first go around! Same rules (pretty much) as before:

1) Do not under any circumstance right down or copy onto another file any of the parts of this riddle.

2) Do not reply to any parts of the riddle in this topic. If this is done, I will ask that that part of your post be removed.

3) Only answer the visible part of the riddle. Answers to previous parts will be asked to be removed.

4) After at least 5 guesses are given to each part of the riddle, that given part will magically disappear

5) Therefore you will have to base your deductions on the answers posters have given, whether they be right or wrong

6) Even if a correct answer is not given, I will erase that particular part if there are at least 5 guesses

7) You may only guess once for each part

8) At any point, if someone guesses the entire riddle, then game over, you win!

for part seven

if s is the last letter of part six then maybe "sex"

if e is the last letter, perhaps "eye"

[Guest]

Part 7

It doesn't say that the last letter has to be first in the answer for part 7, so if its 's' (which I think it is) I would say 'a**' would work well.

Part 7

It doesn't say that the last letter has to be first in the answer for part 7, so if its 's' (which I think it is) I would say 'a**' would work well.

I'll clarify that. Since the parts of the riddle are given in order, it is implied that the last letter of part 6 is the first letter of part 7 and that they share it in reference to the 'whole'.

Roger that, thanks

[Guest]

PG, please tell me if I am using too many of the guesses, but it doesn't look like anyone else is so. . .

The difference between male and female is the two letters 'f' and 'e', couldn't figure out how to make it work, but thought I'd help brainstorm a little bit.

Nah, I appreciate your input. There's no way I'd be able to solve this on my own. Anyhow, it's just been a slow day because it's Friday AND a holiday..not too many people on. It'll probably be slow all weekend.

Anyhow, good brainstorming, but like you said; I can't think of how it would work with those letters. It's a good thing the Den is slow...I'm feeling a little slow myself.

Alright, here's the whole riddle:

Part 1:

Known to be long, and quite a sight

But look as hard as you might

You'll never see the end of me

Unless you see the black and white

Part 2:

You could probably find me in a mall

I'm usually never thought of as tall

And often I cause disgust

When I must, I mock your trust

Part 3:

The first word is in plural form

You'll find me near the end

I can be fifth, I can be second

I can begin something you send

Part 4:

I join the first and third words

Describing fur and baby birds

Beginning a game played outside or in

Often attributed to babies' skin

Part 5:

I'm larger when I'm divine

But my length is always short

When repeated I make laughter

I'm part of an argument of a sort,

...usually heard in a divorce court

Part 6:

I'm usually advanced by you

But when I'm fastened to earth,

Or suspended in air

You won't have too much to do.

I begin the end of this riddle

though I am very near the middle

I'm short for a team

With a feline theme

And I've plenty with which to fiddle

Part 7:

I share the last letter of Part Six

and add two more of my own

A difference between genders

As a teasing jest, I'm known

Last Part:

Some people call me money

I happen from a ball poorly thrown

If you spill me, people know

If you're full of me, they don't

[Guest]

chip?

'beans'

Itachi, since this isn't going very well, can I post a summary of what I've come up with? I can't piece it together, but I think with some team collaboration it might finally get solved.

Sure, post whatever you want. I'll post the answer tomorrow since the turnout has been so low. Then it can finally disappear.

[Guest]

Ok anyone who cares, this is my breakdown. I can't put the pieces together, I've spent way too long trying. Anyone got any ideas?

Part 1:

Known to be long, and quite a sight

But look as hard as you might

You'll never see the end of me

Unless you see the black and white

Races, tracks, loops, rings, circles, ovals?

Part 2:

You could probably find me in a mall

I'm usually never thought of as tall

And often I cause disgust

When I must, I mock your trust

I haven't the foggiest

Part 3:

The first word is in plural form

You'll find me near the end

I can be fifth, I can be second

I can begin something you send

The letter 'e'

Part 4:

I join the first and third words

Describing fur and baby birds

Beginning a game played outside or in

Often attributed to babies' skin

'soft'

Part 5:

I'm larger when I'm divine

But my length is always short

When repeated I make laughter

I'm part of an argument of a sort,

...usually heard in a divorce court

'he'

Part 6:

I'm usually advanced by you

But when I'm fastened to earth,

Or suspended in air

You won't have too much to do.

Gas, water, plane, rocket?

I begin the end of this riddle

though I am very near the middle

I'm short for a team

With a feline theme

And I've plenty with which to fiddle

'cats'

Part 7:

I share the last letter of Part Six

and add two more of my own

A difference between genders

As a teasing jest, I'm known

Sex, eye?

Last Part:

Some people call me money

I happen from a ball poorly thrown

If you spill me, people know

If you're full of me, they don't

'beans'

[Guest]

Thanks Tommy, I'm stuck too! You and I have pretty much the same ideas...I added a few other suggestions below.

Part 1:

Known to be long, and quite a sight

But look as hard as you might

You'll never see the end of me

Unless you see the black and white

Races, tracks, loops, rings, circles, ovals? I think this could also be 'O'

Part 2:

You could probably find me in a mall

I'm usually never thought of as tall

And often I cause disgust

When I must, I mock your trust

maybe 'P'

Part 3:

The first word is in plural form

You'll find me near the end

I can be fifth, I can be second

I can begin something you send

The letter 'e'

I think the first two lines may be seperate from the last two

Part 4:

I join the first and third words

Describing fur and baby birds

Beginning a game played outside or in

Often attributed to babies' skin

'soft'

Part 5:

I'm larger when I'm divine

But my length is always short

When repeated I make laughter

I'm part of an argument of a sort,

...usually heard in a divorce court

'he'

Part 6:

I'm usually advanced by you

But when I'm fastened to earth,

Or suspended in air

You won't have too much to do.

Gas, water, plane, rocket?

could it be 'HOO' (as in H20)??

Itachi, you got us. Props. Great riddle. Even though it was out of my league, I still had fun. Thanks.

[Guest]

Whoa. That was a tough one! Thanks for walking us through it Itachi. As far as the answer, I had only gotten as far as "of the", but you would be surprised how many hits you get on Google for "of the Water Cat"!!

well, that was my first idea, but then I went with pirates I'm sure this was easier to make than it was to solve. Thanks for playing!

hehe, thanks! I only just had the answer in mind and how to separate it so it would be the most difficult. I write the parts spur of the moment, when they are needed.
