infamous Posted May 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 What term is a measure of money, a controlling piece, a performance, a hole maker, and a wound inflicted?;)Hummmmmm, not a Mark, well sir, I think I"m gonna need a little hint; Can this measure of money be typified as foreign currency or is it simply something of intrinsic value like gold or silver? Understand, I'm not suggesting that my answer is gold or silver, just trying to nail down the type or measure of the money.....Infy Turtle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turtle Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 pennyweight.. No Sir.:) /forums/images/smilies/banana_sign.gif The term must fit all the clues, not just the money bit. What kind of "controlling piece, a performance, a hole maker, and a wound inflicted", is a pennyweight?:) :eek2: :cup: :doh: Try again.:cup: /forums/images/smilies/banana_sign.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay-qu Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 :doh: got no idea.. but dont give us the answer yet, a good riddle means it takes all the longer to solve, and its that much more satisfying when you do! :ebomb: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infamous Posted May 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2006 I'm gonna try; Pound It fits most of the criteria, with the exception of 'a hole maker'. Measure of money, English poundA controlling piece, The measure of weight; # or lb.A performance, The foot pound, as in torqueA hole maker, ...............................?A wound inflicted, to beat violently, to pound. This is all I can come up with Turtle, maybe another hint is in order???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try Again!?:eek:Thanks my friend; I believe the key is to find out which term fits with 'a hole maker'. I must confess that for the past 2 hrs. I've been searching the net trying to figure this riddle out. As yet, no luck on the hole maker clue. I'm gonna give it a rest for a while and then concentrate on this avenue of approach.......................Infy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
