okay William,

the valley of the Kings at Thebes hills- mountain peak of this area is Al-Qurn or Ta-dehent in ancient egyptian

 

That was my answer to your riddle about the container with no lid, I thought

it could be the mountain where King Tut was buried with all that treasure

that was found in the 1920's. The correct answer was an egg and I should

have known that, going to fast, thanks for the riddle and thanks also for your

answer about the ax with the spear making the ax head seem to be floating

in the water. Do you know if the ax head riddle was ever solved and was

it the spear like you posted ??

hiya Honey,

I did not realize that your response was your answer-apologies

as far as the spear goes, I was stating to throw Like a spear for your visual. It was indeed a branch or limb not a spear.As far as I know, the angle at which it was thrusted, allowed the ax head to surface.But of course, I was not there, and this is merely speculation

hey Karnuvap,

I could use the clue or give me the fourth set and I will give back the fifth

 

This wasn't the clue that I was going to give you but, since you ask it like that, I'll tell you that there are only the four numbers in this sequence.

Here's one to sort the adults from the teens.

 

What's the next number on this sequence?

 

16 33 45 ?

 

If no one gets it I have a clue that I can add. upon request.

Okay Vap give us the clue that you were going to give us.

These numbers appear to be degree numbers as in 45 degrees so I am

guessing that the next number is 90, am I right ??

Ok - By special request (and remember that this is the Riddle forum and not the Mathematical Conundrums one) the additional clue is:

 

I lied slightly with the first two numbers...

 

16.6666, 33 1/3, 45, ??

 

And, no, William - sorry but 90 is not the next number.

These are record player speeds and the next number would be 78 right ??

Correctomundo!

 

Record player speeds for old-school pre-CD days.

 

We actually had some original 16 rpm discs - they were only good for the spoken word and our ones had short fairy tales on them. Of course 33's were the old LP (or long player) records or albums. 45's were for singles and 78's were the very old original gramophone records.

 

The 16s sounded really funny at 78 rpm.

 

More recent record players only had the 33 and 45 speeds so this may have thrown some of the younger ones.

 

So, Well Done. I don't know what your prize is though.
