Number riddle I made up

I KNEW IT WAS THE MONTHS!!!! I KNEW IT!!!

THAT WAS MY FIRST GUESS, BUT I COULDN'T FIND SOMETHING THAT INDICATED IT WAS may, ...

Soz,

That is one of the best ways to evaluate a riddle. I once wrote an essay on creating riddles and evaluating riddles. I will rewrite it one day and post it.

BTW, when you said it was not math it was obviously letters but determining the letters is a tough task when you do not use a 0 before the single digit letters, more importantly it's tough in a tedious way, not in a degree of difficulty way. Just a minor gripe (which I don't have the right to, if anyone has a right to gripe it's TGR who spent time trying to solve it).

If you like this type of riddle I know a few really good ones and I can make up some impossible bad ones.

Yeah, I thought of the two-digit thing. But I wanted to keep the first one as short as possible so that it looked more mathematical. (Also why I started with "May" instead of "January.")

I'm not generally too big on riddles, creating or solving, but in one of the last big Riddle Episodes I thought of this one for some reason, and then it came to mind again when you were solving 'em left and right on Friday and I thought some fresh fodder might be nice.

My brother and I used to riddle each other a lot. We stopped when he started making up his own riddles. I prefer time tested riddles to personal creations.

Bug me to write the essay, this is a complicated subject that many are sure to disagree with me on.

Check out the Super Riddles (i like to make those), if you're bored! There always are some

FIGURE THIS ONE OUT...
4 4 4 4 2 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 1 1 1 3 1 2 ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

WHAT ARE THE NEXT 10 NUMBERS IN THE SEQUENCE ?

Better half a year later than never...

If 13-1-25 = M-A-Y and 10-21-14-5 = J-U-N-E,
Then 10-21-12-15 = J-U-L-O

Woops!

True! Good catch! (Apologies for the typo -- "1" instead of "2".)

so it looks like you didn't check quite as hard as you said you did for errors then?

Checked hard, but missed that one!
