I could be mistaken but I think you worded the riddle incorrectly. It happens often and such is the crux of the problem when people try to figure it out. I think it should be:

If that's the actual riddle, then I know the answer. If it was actually what you stated...well, can't help you there.

Here's a more philosophical one:

What is the beginning of eternity, the end of time and space, the beginning of every end and the end of every race?

That might be the way the riddle is stated. The Secretary up at my job however said it the way I posted it. However the answer to it should be the same.

IF anyone else has riddles feel free to post them on here. :D

Re: Riddle!
 

Well, I was going to say gry (I've seen that very old decimal system before). But by modern standards, that is a very interesting riddle.

Re: Riddle!
 

I would just like to know who actually figured out that there are three qords in the English language ending in gry. Does someone actually sit there and go through the whole dictionary tallying up the words that end in each suffix or something?

Re: Riddle!
 

Most UNIX systems such as Mac OS X include a list of all the words in the English language which you can grep to find all words containing gry. You can find these lists online as well.

Advice to everyone: if you're trying to solve the riddle, look at Kristina's version. I think that, in the format Mike originally posted it, the point of the riddle is lost. Besides...Kristina's version is much less confusing. :D

Re: Riddle!
 

how about this:

the word can be represented by 12345678
1234 is an atmospheric condition.
34567 supports a plant.
4567 is to appropriate.
678 is a name.

I think I know the answer

I might be mistaken?

Re: Riddle!
 

I think so too. You are mistaken. :)
