0 soop Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 I thought the same. Leather, or perhaps canvas (as a sail) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 what about an archer? Mon -arch leat[b]her Hm..... but no. You'd still hear the arrow as it flew through the air, and if close enough, the twang the bow makes as the arrow's fired. ...And though you cannot hear me, you’ll never tune me out This is the line that everyone has to keep in mind. What is it that isn't heard but is never tuned out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 Okay...... my stab at parts one and two: tsar (or tzar) sale - or sail The problem with these two is that if I try to take them apart, I get gibberish and not the answer.

Very good logic Ketira. You've got the first one, but think more "landward" for the second one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've got the first one, but think more "landward" for the second one Hm..... then maybe it's denim or wagon ? ....but trying to put either two with #1 doesn't quite make sense either. My instincts tell me that your answer has to do with the Weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 it says in the third that half is in answer 1 and half in 2, and the first half is tsar, so what 8 letter word begins with tsar???!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's right riddlern00b, I stated they were in order, but I did not specify how many were in each answer (just that they were evenly distributed). And no, it is not an anagram.

But it doesn't mean that it's every letter. Maybe some are skipped. Or perhaps they are in alphabetical order. And what's killing me, is that I want to just say Radiation but I can't make that work at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 1)tzar... 2)wagon... 3)argon!! Katie, you and moonthirsty are getting close. But... look for half of the letters in each answer. And there are no 'skipped' letters in the words. You will literally take x number of letters from answer one and also x letters from answer two, put them together exactly as they are in the original words to form a new word. Example: If the riddle were calling for a swashbuckler and you had lathe + robin = he + ro = hero that was actually a pretty good hint Or if it asked for a king client + front = li + on = lion isn't as vague as that last example. Keep trying! Oh and "road" -- was a little too landward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 something like a caravan or tent. still it doesnt make sense! I like what you are thinking Shewolf020 a caravan or tent could be used for a market, a place of "profit" - and a caravan would certainly have a "wheel", many actually... but that wasn't what I intended. Notice I said "at the wheel", think on that for a bit and I think you might get it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question
Guest
A name much like a butterfly
Yet I did not meander
My friends all called me Nicholas
Or was it Alexander?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I’m salty, I’m dirty, I’m worn, but I’m tough
I’m sturdy when wet and the weather gets rough
They all come to me seeking profit with zeal
But I like the ones that come in at the wheel
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My letters are in order, but that’s not very fun
So half were put in answer two and half in answer one
I’m something rather powerful strewn wildly about
And though you cannot hear me, you’ll never tune me out
