0 Guest Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 (edited) lol yea I fixed it. But I gotta credit this to Nikyma and dms. I just put the pieces together. So just number 2 now? Cats? Don't know how they put shoes on cats though....I would like to see someone try. edit: It could be a meercat. The shoes may be referring to standing on two feet. I might be reading into this too much....They didn't have the lion king back then. Wait, it has to be an inanimate object....dw bout what I just said then. edit for a third time: It could be a ladder?

Just imagine it as the riddle says! The ladder idea is a good one but there you have two feet on the ground and two in the air! In the original riddle it's about wearing Serbian peasant shoes!!! But since that can't mean much to you, here's the photo! I hope this helps! Edited October 26, 2008 by andromeda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 okay i'm pretty sure this is actually incorrect because I can't quite make the shoes fit in it in my mind but... a sewing machine... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 This is my first post in these forums. An automobile with two drum brakes and two disk brakes (quite typical). Drum brakes use shoes, and disk brakes use pads. I guess I would have to add the caveat that the car is tuned, so it will run fast and smooth.

I'm pretty sure I mention it in the spoiler when I posted this topic, if not I apologize! It's a no. obviously its the world championship wheelbarrow race Hahahah... well it doesn't run that smooth or fast but it does fit the time when the riddle was invented but NO! Have you checked the SHOES! Just put 4 feet in them... what do you see... Think simple... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 (edited) is it feet as in a length? edit: is it fast as in speed, or fast as in like stuck? Edited October 26, 2008 by FitzKaos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 dms172 Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 i am not sure about this but maybe giants cuz if each foot is 2 feet long then you have 4 feet in 2 shoes and they're definitely fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 andromeda Posted October 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 edit: is it fast as in speed, or fast as in like stuck?is it feet as in a length? Sorry I didn't emphasized that. Since I live in Europe we have the metric system so I never think of feet as length. i am not sure about this but maybe giants cuz if each foot is 2 feet long then you have 4 feet in 2 shoes and they're definitely fast. No... Skis or sledge, something that moves on ice ? Yes! Not the first one but the second! Back in the days winters were cold with a lot of snow fall so people used horse sledges to move fast and smooth! Yippee! That's that with this set I'm posting the next one!
