Rhymes & Riddles November 2, 2009

Filed under: Uncategorized — Travis and Lindsey @ 4:38 PM

A friend of ours, Lauren Martyn, was very kind to help us paint our house this past week. In order to keep her Aggie ring clean, she took it off and ended up leaving it at our house. Travis made her answer the following questions in order to get it back. Can anyone solve them all? If you care about someone using your answers, send your responses in a email, otherwise go ahead and post your guesses!

 

This next little ditty

May not be so pretty

However, it must be solved

to get back your beloved.

 

An Aggie Ring is on the loose

the right answers you must choose,

to gain it back in your control

these riddles you need to know.

 

Google can solve it but that is lame

your mind alone must win you this fame.

Lauren Lauren, your ring was on the curb

which left me and Linds in a state of disturb

 

So careless to loose the fine piece of gold

next time I find it, on eBay it will be sold!

 

1. What is the longest word in the dictionary? (A clue: The answer is the plural form of the word.)

 

2. I am a three digit number. My second digit is four times more than my third digit. My first digit is seven less than my second digit. What number am I?

 

3. Every day the man saw his dog ran into the woods. However, he noticed that the dog never ran more than halfway into the woods. Why?

 

4. What can you hold without it ever using your arms or hands?

    1.) supercalafragalisticexpialidocious??? however you spell that!

    2.) 182

    that’s all i have to bring to the table!

  2. Brad Says:

    1) depends on your dictionary, there are many chemical compounds that are insanely long, even when compared to the usually quoted “longest word in english”: antidisestablishmentarianism.

    2) 182

    3) He would be running out of the woods once he was more than halfway though them.

    4) a breath

    bonus:
    What’s in my pocketses?

    • Travis and Lindsey Says:

      1) both are incorrect. don’t think so literal.
      2) 182. Congrats Ashley for having the first correct answer.
      3) Brad is correct
      4) Brad is correct
      bonus) both Travis and Lindsey have read the Hobbit so we know the answer. We’ll let everyone else have a shot first.

  3. ashley Says:

    1.) answer: smiles. s-MILE-s. done. i’m a teacher which automatically makes me good at riddles.

    give me back my son?

    • Travis and Lindsey Says:

      great job Ashley, and yes, being a teacher makes you automatically good at a lot of things. And I believe the correct phrase you’re searching for is “give me back my Don” or my favorite, “Don, Don, Don, Don, Don” (to the tune of the Thong Song)
