    Default New riddle

    Things are getting a little dull around here, me thinks, so here is an easy riddle to get brains back into gear.

    I have feathers, but not wings.
    I can fly, but not walk.

    What am I?
    I wanted to become a brickie but my old man said "No son, learn a trade."

    I'll pay that one but I was thinking of a toothbrush. But probably all the deviots were thinking of something else.

    I'm glad Outback didn't get hold of that one.

    I hate to think what he might have done with it.

    I have seen this before - each line 'describes' the previous line (if you read it out loud, it becomes obvious) .. line two says that the first line has "one 1" and line 3 says line two has "two 1s", etc.... So the next line, which is describing

    13112221 is

    1113213211

    (I think) ... Well, the principal is correct anyway!

    OK - but bear in mind the time difference! I will probably be off line when the correct answer is given so feel free to ask more riddles.

    Two clocks were correct at midnight but then one began to gain four minutes every hour. It stopped one and a half hours ago showing 4:48 pm. The clocks run for less than 24 hours.
    What time will the other clock be showing ?
