Five little items
There are two riddles today:
1) We're 5 little items of an everyday sort, you'll find us all in A Tennis Court. What are we?
2) What animal can you spell using the letters: W-E-A-L-U?
I'm sorry to hear that, but I liked it. I thought it was pretty tricky.
Tamara got the first one: the 5 vowels are in the phrase 'a tennis court'. And andrew got camel: Turn the W over to make an M, and turn the U sideways to make a C.
I don't think the "camel" is very fair at all because with the given letters and no inclination towards positioning the letters, this is practically impossible.
Leave your answer or, if you want to post a question of your own, send me an e-mail. Look in the about section to find my e-mail address. If it's new, I'll post it soon.

1) vowels
ReplyDelete2) do you mean including all those letters or using only those letters? Because I want to say "walruses"
I meant only those shown.
ReplyDeleteWalrus is such a funny word.
I guess "camel" by turning the "w" upsidedown to make an "m" and turning the "u" on its side to make a "c", but I really don't like this puzzle

I don't see how vowels are considered "items"
ReplyDeleteVery Misleading! Blaine the Mono would be dissapointed...
