I think I have it.

The priest told the brothers to switch horses.

The preist told the boys to switch horses! So, that way, who ever makes it there first wins, because the other was riding his horse, and so his horse made it there last. Now that I see the answer, it's like, duh!

I love riddles! And riddle games!

lol! Now, I have one for you!

This is an unusual paragraph. I'm curious how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it? It looks so plain you would think nothing was wrong with it! It is unusual though. Study it, and think about it, but you still may not find anything odd. But if you work at it a bit, you might find out! Try to do so without any coaching!

Well thank you very much! I started laughing when I figured it out.


And as to that paragraph, I think I have that too, but I'll let people stew over it for a bit. But I'm ashamed to admit that I looked at that paragraph and spent a lot of my time trying to figure out the amount of syllables and silly things. And then I thought it might have every letter of the alphabet, but that wasn't it either... :-D

And then I figured it out.

Umm...there's a sentance ending in a question mark when it really should be a period?

Other than that, I've got nothing

Sorry, Naur, but that's wrong.

Well, if so many have heard this riddle before, why not say so we can get to the next one *grins* I have over 50 riddles in my notebook(I like riddles. Can't you tell?)

I like riddles too! (I might pull a few out of my pocket.) Ok, the answer to Eru's riddle- the paragraph doesn't contain the letter "e".

Alright... *rumages through the pages to find a good one*

Dug up from the earth and sealed in a coffin,
Sold for less than my true worth,
Hacked by sharp blades, and dragged over a wide meadow
Behind a pale charioteer,
leaving, I hope, some evidence of the crime.
Now shrunken in size,
Having lived my life backwards,
My slow demise,
another's conception.
What am I?
