0 DudleyDude Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 walk, it's a simple motion that can help you lose weight as long as you are dedicated to doing it enough that with King...walking? walking loch ness? or what else could loch ness mean/or be replaced with? may simply be "Ness". I think the monster is referred to as Ness or Nessy and since Loch just means lake, I think Ness may be the town/area itself. Although 'walk' fits the clue, I'm not sure it's the right answer. Looks like the final will be a word that fits ___ingness. Only word off the top of my head that fits is nothingness but that doesn't fit the first clue at all.

0 Guest Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 WOW! Sorry I wasn't around to give y'all feedback. I'm glad to say that it still hasn't quite been solved, but you all have moved it along quite far. Ok... to catch up... Third verse obviously refers to King. Fourth I had to google to spell, Loch Ness, and when I googled I found out that the monster and the place share that name. Second verse gimme a sec EDIT: second verse is diet? Right about third verse, it refers to that, but you're missing 2 important parts of the verse. Fourth verse: Correct reference, see later spoilers for further info. walk, it's a simple motion that can help you lose weight as long as you are dedicated to doing it enough that with King...walking? walking loch ness? or what else could loch ness mean/or be replaced with? Not quite right, but close on the second verse. may simply be "Ness". I think the monster is referred to as Ness or Nessy and since Loch just means lake, I think Ness may be the town/area itself. Although 'walk' fits the clue, I'm not sure it's the right answer. Looks like the final will be a word that fits ___ingness. Only word off the top of my head that fits is nothingness but that doesn't fit the first clue at all. You're right on with your first statement. The rest... keep trying. what is the main ingredient in a successful diet?? will will + king + ness willingness?? Nope. (Although, you're correct about the main ingredient. ) But as for the riddle, no. And the "remove the title" part of the 2nd clue could mean to remove the 'k' from 'king' which would make things even neater. No, you caught one of the important elements of that verse that has previously been overlooked, but you've misapplied it. Cool riddle =) THANKS! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hahahaha, no offense, but does your guess explain the d? JK. "Run" is as close as anyone has come to the answer for verse 2! Good work. But, it's not right. 3rd verse isn't right, but 4th is. Thanks! I liked your guess! Try again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
