I'm posting one puzzle, riddle, math, or statistical problem a day. Try to answer each one and post your answers in the comments section. I'll post the answer the next day. Even if you have the same answer as someone else, feel free to put up your answer, too!
Think of words ending in -gry. 'Angry' and 'hungry' are two of them. What is the third word in the English language? You use it every day, and if you were listening carefully, I've just told you what it is.
Thank you Bonnie; I kept trying to pronounce the combinations as words and came up with 2 + 2 = 5.
And thank YOU, Ad Williams, for actually asking that "gry" riddle correctly. I cannot believe how many times I see it asked wrong...or how many people who ask it wrong don't seem to see why that changes the answer (namely because those who ask it wrong don't know the CORRECT answer).
Mike? Looking forward to more riddles and what have you.
to the riddle by Ad Williams: the third word is what, you just said it: WHAT is the third word, you never said it had to end in -gry. Perhaps that is a wild guess but it sounds right to me :)
Leave your answer or, if you want to post a question of your own, send me an e-mail. Look in the about section to find my e-mail address. If it's new, I'll post it soon.
Please don't leave spam or 'Awesome blog, come visit mine' messages. I'll delete them soon after.

ReplyDeleteI think it's - "Have you any eggs? Yes, we have eggs. I'll have ham and eggs."
ReplyDeleteTook me a moment to figure out how to read it aloud!
haha, that was fun how it went from nonsense to a readable sentence as soon as I read the letters. I came up with the same as Bonnie.
ReplyDelete!LOL! Bonnie ^^ is very quick. I curved my tongue around that one and got nowhere until I read her answer.
ReplyDeletegood one :)))
ReplyDeleteI tried putting the letters into words but, obviously, all I came up with did not make much sense...
Bonnie's answer has made it all clear :)

Bonnie got it right away. Just sound out the letters and you'll get the phrase.

The third word in "the English language."
ReplyDelete1st word = the
2nd word = English
3rd word = language
Thus, language is the third word in the English language.
My dad had almost that same joke when I was a little girl. It was FUNEM, OSIFM, FUNEX, OSIFX, OKMNX.
ReplyDeleteThat's a good one. :D
ReplyDeletehahaha... it took me much time to understand it even after i read bonnie's answer...
