For an interesting and well written mind bender check this out: users.aol.com/s6sj7gt/cadtext.htmIt is called "Cadaeic Cadenza." It contains a few "puzzles" within its text. Try and figure out what is special about this piece. |

Show Off!!!! The only puzzle for me is why the heck did I have to read and memorize them for eleventh grade lit. I think I'll stick to Keri's riddles for now.  thank you very much. BTW- What falls but never gets hurt? ;D Cobby |

Heehee! I'm a simple kind of gal.
As for your riddle... there are a couple things that come to mind. I'm coming back later for the other one...

I'm still scratching my head ... I know the poems have all been altered, because "The Raven" and "The Jabberwocky" were two of my favorite poems as a kid....

Haku finally told me the answer ... there is NO WAY I would have gotten that one on my own; my brain simply doesn't work that way. Simple as pi to a mathematician ... but I'm not a mathematician....
Good luck, guys!!!
