 Like fishing, some may get away as you are reeling them in, but never letting out enough line to get the big ones at the bottom is just disappointing. - Eric O [more] |

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.

Re: Riddle!
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.

Re: Riddle!
actually it only took me about 2 minutes
I looked up 'appropriate' in the Word thesaurus there was only one 4 letter match the rest was obvious then haveing my name in there might have helped a little :c) Last edited by KenWittlief : 19-12-2003 at 23:03.

 during the two week period that it took us to figure it out, I (and multiple others) got 'mist', 'take', and 'stake' on 3 seperate occasions, but never put them together. there was an additional hint on the original: "45 is a curt thank you." [shrugs] i'm still stumped by that one. 'ta'? go figure...
