Nonono Antz , he said it clearly: "There are three words in the English language that end in -GRY".Antz wrote:nonono zworqy, that way of thinking is not going to get u anywhere. there are plenty of words ending with gry, like gry for example, but they are not common (u don't use them every day and i myself have no idea what it means either)
And I meant that "gry" is used everyday in the words "hungry" and "angry", and it means "feeling hunger or anger". LOL!

Ok, I'll explain...
There are three words in the English language that end in -GRY. Two are HUNGRY and ANGRY. The third one everyone uses every day and knows what it stands for. If you listened carefully, I already told you what the word is. What is the third word?
this part - "There are three words in the English language that end in -GRY. Two are HUNGRY and ANGRY." - Is not a riddle. It is a trivia question. (If anyone knows the third word, let me know...it isnt 'gry' by the way)
The riddle is "What is the third word?" and if you look at the first line - "There are three words in the English language" it means that there are three words in 'The English Language' which as you can see, there is. The, English and Language.
The third word is 'language'.
I dont like this riddle, its too complicated for such a stupid answer

Some fresh Q's:
1: There was a man who smuggled cocaine for many years. The small pack of cocaine was hidden in a tube of toothpaste. The tube was perfectly sealed so noone could see that it contained something other than toothpaste. But after a few years a customs officer got suspicious of the tube of toothpaste, and the man was busted.
Why did the customs officer get suspicious?
2: Another man had ordered coffee in a restaurant. He called for the waitress and said: "There's a fly in my coffee, please give me a new cup!"
The waitress took the cup, and 2 minutes later with she came back with a new cup. But the man said: "Hey, this is the same coffee! You've just removed the fly!"
How did he know that?
3: The Johnson family wanted a bigger basement for their house. However, when the builders had worked for a while they stumbled upon a veri big rock. They couldn't get it out through the door, it was too dangerous to blow it up and it would take too long to chisel it down to smaller pieces. But eventually the workers found out what to do.
How did they get rid of the big rock?
4: In a bar in New York 3 men were drinking beer before going on a trip.
When the bartender asked them where they were going, all 3 gave him the same answer.
But the first man took a plane to California, the next guy went to Texas by train and the last man drove an hour in his car. However, all 3 men had been thruthful when saying where they were going.
How can this be?
5: Two different numbers who consists of only 1's gives the same answer whether you add them together or multiply them with eachother.
Which are the two numbers?

2: Sugar in coffee...
3: They dug it deeper and built basement on top of it...
4: Probably "home"

You've got nr 2,3 and 4:
2: There was sugar in the coffee... (vaitork)
3: They buried the rock under the house... (Antz)
4: They were all going "home"... (Antz)
Now for 1 and 5...
About nr 1, I guess you're right, noone uses the same toothpaste for so long, but he probably switched tube sometimes.
Nr 5, hmmm chux, those were neither different or 1's...
Clue: It doesn't have to be whole numbers...

Gah, i know theyre not differen tor 1s, but it was the best i could come up with.
I worked out 1.1 and 11, but only just after John got it
Q1. The officer was the guy who ordered the cocaine, he saw that the smuggler only had the toothpaste when he ordered some cocaine from him.
or
Q1. The smuggler only went to whereever he was going overnight. When the tube came back empty over 1 night, the guy became suspicious

LOL, I didn't even get that... I just made the word "SERIFS". Serifs are those "ornamentations" on some fonts.Serj wrote: Zworqy got 3rd one. When you add an F to the "underscore" you get the letter E.

You have to read out loud what you see. So you start with the 6, that's one 6. So you write it down 16. Now it says one 6 and one 1, 1611 (you start with the highest number). Then it becomes one 6 and three 1's, so 1631 etc etc. In the end the number doesn't change anymore, it becomes 1614332231.John wrote:Plz explain what u did...chux wrote:Dohh, I was going to say F ages ago, but I didnt think 'serif' would be it
