0 Guest Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 Hiya Lotus! Are we playing 20 questions? The game of 20 questions is what the riddle is about. All the typical "first questions" that one asks. The last four lines should hint to you, what the answer is. So, we are not playing 20 questions. By the riddle itself, you should be able to get the answer all by yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PG's here and I gotta go.... He'll probably solve it before I get back.... Here's where I am at and can't check back for a minute.... I've got Logic in my head, Doyle, Sherlock Holmes who technically isn't a man, But I keep thinking your looking for...."solving this riddle" or something like it! C'ya soon Lotus!

0 Guest Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 .']"animal, vegatable, or mineral"? I knew I was missing one. I couldn't think of it. No, Animal has already been said in the second line. Vegetable was suppose to be said, but I couldn't think of that one. I really should have thought harder about this one. So, saying that vegetable is in the riddle........For example...... ADDING A MISSING COUPLET!!! The food we eat, it mustn't be, And nothing from a plant or tree. Now that you know VERY well, my intentions and where I was going with this riddle, you'll have NO problem knowing what the answer is supposed to be.

0 plainglazed Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 You got the answer, I just want you to narrow it down to one. : ) Yeah, thought that was where the riddle was going but since I could eliminate just one, concluded maybe you wanted the whole question. Ok, with your additional coupletmineral? (Hey u, is it ok if I call you u or do I have to say upal) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, with your additional couplet (Hey u, is it ok if I call you u or do I have to say upal)mineral? Yes!!! Yay, glad you figured that out. I'm sorry I missed that one. I felt like something was missing. Good job. By the way. I have the same thing with Heyupal. I never know what to call him. Always seems like it should be shortened.
