Turtle Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 Correct goku; Your quickly becoming the riddlemister.....................Infy Next: I am a word of six letters,when the first capitalized be.My meaning changes entirely,when the first small you see. Spell me................... ___I like how JayQ wrote out his thought process when he got the bonsai/plant riddle. While clearly a riddle thread is open to challenge on its scientific merit, the fact is it is science in action. Just doing it you might say. A riddle isn't defining deduction, or explaining deduction, or a deduction. A riddle teaches deduction by example.___Now I think we have different nuances in how we solve these riddles, & JayQ is spot on in his answer & its presentation.___So, Infy's riddle above:In English, capitalizing any noun changes the meaning entirely when the word stands alone. That has me a little hung up. So all I have now is my answer 'Little'. B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll let this run for a day or two and then I'll give up the answer, that is ofcourse unless someone solves it before then.........................good luck everyone.................BTW, the last 4 riddles have been my own creations including this last one............Enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B) I know what you mean turtle, when you follow the logic through to a conclusion you can actually find that there is more than one answer. Alas people prefer you answer with the solution that they have in mind... so well done with your deduced answer it is 100% correct B) just not what infy is looking for...
