Only 3 words are in the English dictionary.
Also there are many questions that nobody can answer "yes" to; the usual answer to this riddle is "what does N O spell?".
There are lots of other possible answers like "who many beans make 5?" or "what's my middle name?".

What's so special about the following sentence?

A big cuddly dog emitted fierce growls, happily ignoring joyful kids licking minute nuts on pretty queer rotten smelly toadstools underneath vampires who x-rayed young zombies[;)]


Thank goodness. An easy one for me....

A, B, C, D... etc.

And just to show off, I've suddenly spotted the answer to this one:

Quote from: omid on 24/05/2010 17:39:10

What's so peculiar about this sentence?

I do not know where family doctors acquired illegibly perplexing handwriting; nevertheless, extraordinary pharmaceutical intellectuality, counterbalancing indecipherability, transcendentalizes intercommunications' incomprehensibleness. [;)]


The first word comprises one letter and each word thereafter has one more letter than it's preceding word. In other words the 1st word has one letter, the 2nd has two, the third has three, and so on right up to an impressive twenty letters long. Ta daa!

Hi Omid

I think you might have already given us this puzzle. So I don't know why it's not been answered quicker.

The answer, I believe, is COAL.

We're all stumped on this one. I think you'd better give us a clue because this threads ground to a halt.

Go on, Omid

Dark with white markings,
And smooth like a rock.

I help convey thought.

We reflect rays of sun, and yet we don't.
Without us all the world is gray and dull for everyone.

Oooo, they're getting tricky.

At first I thought it might be 'eyes', then I thought maybe a rainbow or even a colour camera but none of those really fit. This one's definately superhero-proof.  [:)]

There are 2 cops parked along a one-way street looking for traffic violations.
They spot a taxi driver going in the wrong direction, yet they do nothing.
Why? [;)]
