0 Guest Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 explore?all wrong answers again so far we have found two correct clues to two first couplets you have not yet found the answer to these couplets as the correct answer to any couplet is the answer to the riddle it is the same word we are looking for, over and over again if you don't see it yet, continue working through the couplets so far we have clues 1. instrument 2. something that tells you when to applaud looking for (third couplet) a clue for: something that in anger aids something cold and fierce to pierce or we can skip to the next couplet if you are to read the clues simply then "We" would just mean us - the humans. How exactly did we in our history seek and find new places? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 explore? perfect, fourth couplet has to do with exploration but think further, how did we explore? or if you think of explorers who do you think of first? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 I must make coffee now. See ya for awhile.What, you mean ship? They are the names of his sailboats. YES You found the right clue for the fourth couplet But it is not the answer You have the answer if you connect it to "I went first in all those cases" Can you now guess the answer?

0 Guest Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 Clues you have derived so far 1. instrument 2. something that tells you when to applaud 3. NO CLUE, the line is My anger can help pierce I aid the cold and fierce, 4. ship 5. NO CLUE, the line is Yet my fondest, first success Is those who love you to impress.

0 Guest Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 To avoid being a total opportunist, I believe I have the answer, but will answer with a simple riddle (very simple) to see if I have it right. above your nose and around your ear; i hold glass for you to see clear (I found an alternative definition of the answer that doesn't appear to have been used in the original riddle) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 was this answer right? sorry, it was not correct the answer to each couplet is the answer to the riddle the clues were: instrument (or as it turned out part of one), something that lets you know you are at the part to show you love art, a weapon (a cold weapon), a ship (you needed to say which part of it goes first in all cases), one first success to impress your parents with and the answer is posted above with explanation hope to see you at another riddle x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 i feared it might be bridge as that is the clear way you answer points but it is not AND SO YOU ARE RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SUNNYXC you rock my world Weird. When we discovered applause, I thought of bow, and I really thought it was the answer, especially with instrument (violin) and ship. But, when I thought of arrow(and bow) for pierce, it didn't fit (cold), so instead of guessing bow (and risking dancer's inevitable disapproval), I dropped it and wondered what on earth fit cold, pierce, etc. I never follow instincts with her riddles. Most of the time I already know the answer. But, there's always some part of her riddle which doesn't (to me) fit my answer so well. I mean every doggone time!!! So, I really should just go with my instincts. I never can figure how to use them, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, I really should just go with my instincts. I never can figure how to use them, though. The reason it didn't fit is because the clue was not just cold, pierce etc. I tried to make sure you get bow not arrow by saying My anger CAN HELP pierce (not pierces) I AID the cold and fierce (and cold as in a cold weapon, knife, sword, arrow, etc.) I think I always try to help with additional clues and so on, and truly do not see how i am disapproving you lotus, on the other hand, are my toughest critic hope you like my next riddle better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Question
Guest
How sweetly I can sing
When talent joy doth bring,
And also mark the part
To show your love of art
My anger can help pierce
I aid the cold and fierce,
We sought and found new places
I went first in all those cases
Yet my fondest, first success
Is those who love you to impress.
