Thread: Quiz time

they all wrote poetry?

Nope - and no to the other 'valid' answers. Whilst it is true that Elvis was not dead before he was famous (and by some twisted logic might appear to be the correct answer), this fact is as true about those that are now dead as it is to those who remain alive. The only time it was not true was when they were very young....

That last clue will no doubt be twisted, so the answer is not 'they were all babies'. There is an obvious answer, and it is indesputable. I mentioned Elvis because he was the only one who, until recently, I knew this fact about.

Didn't Elvis have some sort of behavioural disorder like attention deficit disorder or something like that?

Don't you go and start me on logic. I've had enough logic in the riddle thread to spell Pi to a hundred places!!

Perhaps but what craigb and I would like to know is: is it ineluctable? Eh? Eh? Well - is it?

You don't SPELL Pi to one hundred places, you count it. Imean, that's just logical ain't it?

Yes the answer very likely is ineluctable - but I have, of course, no idea what that means!

Hard to give another clue without giving away the answer; it has nothing to do with PI (to any number of places) - the only thing the answer has to do with mathematics is ... 2 minus 1.

So there you go, I have indeed given away the answer (perhaps!).

I am trying doubly hard to get this one.

Bob has (perhaps unintentionally) come very close to the answer here.

Let me know if you give up!

I think Bob has intentionally got the right answer

So come on - spill the beans! I think either you or Bob should spell out the answer, and put everyone out of their misery!

Does it have anything to do with 2 * Pi?

I think it has something to do with twin as a synonym for double, doesn't it?

Yes Driver! This is getting painful; but we are moving in the right direction.
