The third son bought a candle and the candlelight filled the room.

P.S. I think a similar riddle was mentioned earlier.

[StarryXXXEyed]

What seven letter word is missing from the following, to make sense? A ------- surgeon was ------- to operate, because he had -------

[Tasselfoot]

emccky... the point is not to use google to find the answer, then C&P it... its to use your head.

i knew the answer to squeeks...

and, starry... the word would have to have 3 different meanings for 3 different parts of speech... since one is an adjective and one is a verb... plus 1 is past tense while the others aren't...

Here's a riddle I found at riddlenut.com:

My first is a number, my second another,
And each, I assure you, will rhyme with the other.
My first you will find is one-fifth of my second,
And truly my whole a long period reckoned.
Yet my first and my second (nay, think not I cozen),
When added together will make but two dozen.
How many am I?

[Tasselfoot]

hmm... 4 and 20. 4 is 1/5 of 20, 4+20=24... but they don't rhyme.


aha. 4 score!

Nice work Tass. That is correct

[Tasselfoot]

i can figure out about 85% of the riddles posted around the web.... they aren't that hard.

i used to have an oldschool D&D webbook that had about 600 riddles. THOSE were hard.

Who am I riddle:

I soar without wings, I see without eyes.
I've traveled the universe to and fro.
I've conquered the world, yet I've never been anywhere but home.
Who am I?

You'll probably get this Tass.
