Would the word be "flower"? The place in the hospital is obvious the ER, "us" is "WE", the only position I can find to fit there is "LOW" , leaving -LOWER. The best word seems to be flower, if "FLO" is a word. :lol:Quote:

prince,princes, princess. :)
Wonderfully caught, Sage! http://www.smiliegenerator.de/s30/smilies-14044.png
Yay!
Uhm, let see. Something more suiting to my average level of daftness:
It's green and it hops around, but is no frog.
Pickle with a hot foot?
not that daft. :)
Robin playing hopscotch?
Closer, but still not quite right ;)
A Leprechaun?
I didn't know they were green.
I'll give a hint: It's an animal, and it's generally very small but does have a tendency to travel in large numbers.
Oh, and it CAN have different colours, just like frogs, but again, it is not a frog.

We have a feeling that Aimus is lying to us in some very important point.
Toad?
Grasshopper?
A grasshopper indeed, I didn't think that was so hard?
The locust has a tendency to swarm you see. I thought that hint made it pretty obvious. :)
Taking any sheet of paper, how many times can that paper be folded in half before it becomes physically impossible to fold? Size doesn't matter here, the number will always be the same. :nod: :confused:
I believe the number was 7, assuming the sheet of paper is standard thickness.
http://www.cosgan.de/images/midi/sportlich/p050.gif Actually, I'm not even sure thickness of paper comes into play here. 7 times is all you can fold it in half! :D :nod:
But when you hit a size of that thickness, it's not so much folding as it is rolling.
I'm finding this one a tad suspicious, looking at her paper, did she fold it in HALF exactly this many times? Funny how it came out to look like a cigarette in the end. Hummmm? I won't say nay, but it is suspicious. A good find there, Taliesin. Make people think, anyway! :nod: ;)Quote:

Think. There's tricks involved. ;)
No takers, hummm. Oh, well.Quote:

You bet! Your move, I think. :D :nod:

Wild stab here, since I'm guessing that 3071, the decimal equivalent of the hexadecimal numeral is not relative, "Beginning to see red?" (I'm thinking FFFF is Red, it's been a while...)Quote:

The "In that case..." is important solely because it indicates that the riddle was inspired by your previous post. "B.F.F." is a common acronym among the females of my generation...hope this helps.
OK. Now what I see is a [(check minus) (the HTML code)] and BFF stands for, and remember I'm an old coot, "Best Friends Forever". No longer best friends? http://www.clicksmilies.com/s0105/fr...smiley-013.gif
Not a minus -- just a dash...Quote:
