Top Hat Inner circle We peed on you! 1077 Posts |
Here is a riddle I devised for you.
My first is in rabbit but not in top hat, My second in red ace and black close-up mat, My third is in Himber and also in ring, My fourth's not in rope, but is present in string, My fifth is in tumbler as well as in milk, My sixth is in handkerchieves, never in silk, My seventh's in flash paper, though not in flame, One question I have for you: what's my first name? (Please word your answer so as not to spoil the riddle for others).

My first is in Burton, McBride and Bob Harbin.
My second's in Milt, in Bill, in all Larsens. My third is in Dante but not those unsung. My fourth's in DiYip and in Ching but not Chung. My fifth is in Vernon, not Marlo or Elmsley. My sixth is in Sankey and Regal and Carney. Answer this and you'll know that, apart from our fame, we also share an exact same first name. |

I don't wish to ram it down your throat, but... ever heard of "off by one"?

Speaking in riddles can lead to much confusion.
No incorrect info was deliberately given. Top Hat made an honest mistake...so he's jokingly covering himself with an "out." Ram (Aries) is "one off" from fish (Pisces.) |

For DC:
I'm holding my breath, waiting to give my correct answer.

If cryptic posts annoy you, skip this one.
Regarding Top Hat's riddle: Two fifths seem to provide an additional clue. It's not a coincidence...is it? (Only Top Hat knows for sure!) |

Jack: strap discoloration?... I don't understand - please explain.
Stan: I don't understand - please explain. :)

Jack: the answer is the same as the one you gave to DC (if I understood you correctly).
