A wonderful suggestion by the lovely Sleepy. The return of a thread full of riddles. Lets see how smart you all are. :D

Here, I'll post a few to get started, can you solve them? If you want, post your own. Remember, no cheating ;)

Can you name three consecutive days without using the words Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday?

A beggar's brother died, but the man who died had no brother. How could that be?

A word I know, six letters it contains, subtract one, and twelve remains. What am I?

I thought the 3rd one might be dozens, remove one letter and you get dozen, which is 12.

Would have been better if there was a way to cover up those answers to people could still have a guess.

Struggling to think on your third one though.


Try this one:
What is so fragile even saying its name can break it?

Nope, sorry, I don't have one for you and I really am going to bed (I posted in your other thread :D) so I'll not be up long enough for you to solve it.

I'll sleep on the third one of these.....
