Riddle of the Day

[Heylinder]

Ok, genius, she was 22 on December 30, on December 31 she turned 23, how the heck is she gonna be 25 the next year? Please explain cause this riddle didn't make sense at all!

Guess we got to read it more carefully If Junior tells us what to do one more time we'll have to do some a$$ kickin' My wrong guess for the last one was done on day 3 of THE birthday celebration Tonight is the grand finale

BTW, my guess for the latest is ............. oil

You are right TL, on 12/30/00 she was 22.

To make this easy, assume she turned 23 on December 31, 2000 (12/31/00).

We talked to her on 01/01/01. This year she turns 24 on 12/31/01. NEXT year is 2002...and at the end of next year (12/31/02) she will be 25...

Simple as that...

So the next year by 01/01/02, she is still 24 right? Not the next 23 months, since a year cover 12 months the last time I checked so she would still be 24 not 25, who is the idiot now?

Nobody specified a year as being a time frame, but more as a reference of time.

And to answer your question...YOU.

And to answer your question...YOU.

Nailed you right there, if a year is not a time frame, she would be 25 when the conversation took place, after all it is only a reference to time, right? That is no riddle, just a stupid word game! And depending on how you look at it, both assumption will be correct.....can't win blondie so give up!

The answer to your last riddle will be 'Gizmo' if you keep calling me the 'I' word.

ooooOOOOo. Someone's getting a little feisty.

Get over it TL. I wasn't saying that whenever you hear year it's only a reference to time, I was stating that in that context it was only a reference

[TurcoLoco]

I should have guessed she was a lieing h03 when I saw this

she smiled and said cryptically

still not a riddle but word game!

Black I am and much admired,
men seek me until they're tired.
When they find me, they break my head,
and take from me my resting bed.


What am I?

ANSWER (Congrats Heylinder!): Coal.

NEXT RIDDLE:

Of no use to one
Yet absolute bliss to two.
The small boy gets it for nothing.
The young man has to lie for it.
The old man has to buy it.
The baby's right,
The lover's privilege,
The hypocrite's mask.
To the young girl, faith;
To the married woman, hope;
To the old maid, charity.

What am I?
