"A puzzle for yous all..."

My first is in biscuit but never in cake
My second's in awesome but not in great
My third is in mother but not seen in dad
My fourth is in sunny but never in sad
My fifth is a vowel found in water not creek
My sixth is found only in one day of the week
My seventh's two of three that you learn when you're young
My eighth's not in song but it's there when it's sung
My ninth's in eleven and twelve, not thirteen
My tenth is in island and river, not stream
My eleventh's in precious and secret and paste
My twelfth is in phantom and spectre and haste
My whole stalks the night in a quiet dreamlike state
With no memories the next day of being out late

from the question there I presume the answer is white.

I'm working it out at the mo

Heh, well has anyone worked it out rather than guessing.

Ineedsleep, was that a guess?

Black, if Unbeliever's wrong then I must be right.

White

White.

Not because i know but I stand a 50-50 chance of getting it right before anyone else.

In a box you have 13 white marbles and 15 black marbles. You also have 28 black marbles outside the box. Remove two marbles, randomly, from the box. If they are of different colors, put the white one back in the box. If they are the same color, take them out and put a black marble back in the box. Continue this until only one marble remains in the box. What color is the last marble?

You're one clever lady, Ros. I got the letters but couldn't derive an answer. I was thinking in terms of the Moon stalking the night sky. Moonambulist?
