[tabelmabel]

Cross posted with betsy this time! I got that there is only one son for the mustards though

 

[Qualcast&Flymo]

Ha ha it took me a moment to 'get' that one!

How about this

If you eat it you will die

Poor people have it

Rich people dont

And it is greater than God



Sorry cross posted with mr and mrs mustard!

Nothing ...

 

[Marlee and Fluffy]

9?

9 for the mustards?

Wait, why is it 9?

 

[tabelmabel]

Mr and mrs mustard are 2

6 daughters make 8

And one brother makes 9.


All the daughters have one brother so there can only be one boy

 

[tabelmabel]

Correct @Qualcast&Flymo !

 

[Marlee and Fluffy]

[Marlee and Fluffy]

There was only three people: the grandfather, father, and son

Now, it's your turn to ask a riddle.

 

[Eddie & Elvis]

I erase all footsteps, I destroy castles tall.
I never falter, yet often fall.
I never leave, yet go out night and day.
I have no wheels, yet roll away.
If I leave you now, I'll return to you soon.
My pulse beats true from the heart of the moon. What am I?

I didn't make this up by the way it's from a book I'm reading
