The worlds first riddle!

7 wonders of the world
7 days of the week
Uh, I made my sister mad so, I don't get to go play with the dogs. I guess that means I am in the dog house

Oh well, I will find something to do

I just figured this one out
5 digits in a zip code

TTH:

5 = D in a Z C = 5 digits in a zip code
7 = W of the W = 7 wonders of the world
7 = D of the W = 7 days of the week

You are on fire today!



8 = S on a S S

9 = P in the S S

9 = P on a BB T

I haven't figured out #6 yet & apparently #5 is not correct, ugh!!!
9 players on a baseball team

Edit: Sorry, I looked at my post for #5 and saw the

If this is suppose to be 8 sides on a stop sign, a stop sign actually has 10 sides

Finally it struck me
9 planets in the solar system

I have no idea what #6 is

Someone wrote, "a stop sign actually has 10 sides"


Excuse me; have you been at the Christmas sherry?

Stop signs originated in Michigan in 1915. The first had black letters on a white background and were somewhat smaller than the modern one. As they became more widespread, a committee supported by the American Association of State Highway Officials (AASHO) met in 1922 to standardize them, and it selected the octagonal shape that has been used in the United States ever since.

The unique eight-sided shape of the sign allows drivers facing the back of the sign to identify that oncoming drivers have a stop sign and prevent confusion with other traffic signs.

Uh Try, if you add the front side and the back side then there is a total of 10
sides

MERRY CHRISTMAS ALL YOU RIDDLE FANS

Try I wouldn't think YOU were a crook - even if you were a lawyer - if you are a lawyer hanging around St. Anthony and Water Street...I would TRY to give you the benefit of the doubt j/k :wink: it really wouldn't surprise me if you were a lawyer - that may explain TTH's inability (and mine for that matter) to understand you at times...all that double talk

Merry Christmas TTH, Mark, Solipsister, Stormwatch, TehMeh and all you others! My very best wishes to you all!

What is 1 DITLOID between friends?

descartes walks in to a bar and asks for a beer. the bartender asks 'do u want peanuts with that?' descartes says 'i dont think so' and he disappeared.

a new 1000 ft high skyscraper is being built. its base is a 300 ft by 300 ft square. the base spirals upwards like a corkscrew having completed one revolution once reaching the top. what is the volume of the building what is the length of the spiral edge

like...what's a ditloid?

one day in the life of insatiable decipherers?

I don't know
If this is a joke, you will have to explain it because I don't get it
and the skyscraper.....it is too early for me to think

Like Descartes and the peanuts?

(I think, therefore I am)

SKYSCRAPER
[size=7]The volume is the same as if it didn't spiral (90,000,000 cubic feet) since every horizontal cross section is a 300'x300' square.

The length of the spiral edge (1666.29 feet) is the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs 1000 and 300*sqrt(2)*pi (circumference of circle circumscribing square base).[/size]

Yes, I have heard that joke before but, in different ways. I think I get it now but, I don't find it funny

Presumably he came back for sum ergo cogito.

Well folks, how did it go? I know it is better to give than receive, but whoever said that didn't want a Rolex Daytona 24 watch as badly as I did. So leaving nothing to chance I decided to gift one to myself…nice!

I hope ya'll received what you wished for, and had a great time.

Due to my system crashing yesterday, I didn't have the opportunity of commenting on previous posts; a situation I now address:

Miss mi writes, "I wouldn't think YOU were a crook - even if you were a lawyer."

That is most magnanimous of you. However, it is my experience that the difference is minimal! (Although there are always exceptions to the rule). :wink:


Francis wrote, "I think, therefore I am"

Or, as we say in France: Je pense donc je suis


TTH, "Yes, I have heard that joke before but…"

I agree with that!


Although it appears to have hit the spot with Slippy, who was moved to write:

"Presumably he came back for sum ergo cogito."

Now, that is funny because; the saying is: Cogito, ergo sum. But; he "came back" - Cute!


I hope to be back into Riddle mode by the weekend in an effort to keep this train crash of a thread going from 03' to 08'. So thanks for the participation, it would be kinda lonely here without you guys.

I was wondering where you went Try. You know it isn't the same without you
