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.
