This is one of those riddles that don't make sense and you just can't figure it out

Not short, the word “short”. And if we didn’t have the word “short” how would we ask this riddle? HMMM???


A raven! No, wait…a writing desk!


No, you forgot to take into account that there is a b in both and an n in neither.

As the dormouse said in Silverlock

“I don’t know if that’s really it, but if you don’t think about it it can’t worry you.”

Sage advice.

:smiley: I think that’s it! (Chapstick also works, but I like the Munchkins better.)

A roll of lifesavers.

Eat yer hearts out suckers!

And it only took about 2 minutes of thinking. The ancient Romans feared him as much as Hannibal, the clique trembles at his massive ego, he knows more trivia than Cliff Clavin.

:smiley: I AM SPARTICUS! :rolleyes:

I asked my teacher, and light is not the answer. See these are weekly quizzes and whoever finds the answer receives extra credit. I’ve asked around and none of the answers you have given I guess aren’t right. Thanks anyways, it means a lot you guys. Tell me if you come up with anymore ideas. Adios!!

Oh great. We got suckered into helping someone else with their school work.
Man, I wish this board was around 20 years ago and then I could have spent even less time doing school work and more time suckering nice kind people into gaining me extra credit.

It’s not homework, it’s a bonus that counts for 1 point out of almost a thousand. Therefore, it is merely a point percentage. If you do not like the sound of helping someone figure out a riddle, which by the way is most likely solved as it has been on the board for over a week, then you don’t have to. I did not sucker you because like others I am interested in knowing the answer. I do not need anyone’s help as I am attending a prestigous high school where they expect you to not need that .1 %. Thanks for your help!

Look, I told you, it is a roll of lifesavers. Pay attention for your damn extra credit.

Then why did you ask us? :smiley:

It’s okay, they’re just teasing you, dear.

At least someone is nice in this room(Guinastasia). I mean you guys spend your whole die in a chat room to tease someone who needs your help and then you tell her you don’t want to help, so then she says that she doesn’t mind if you don’t help and you bite her head off. What kind of people are you?

Nasty bored mean old people, if you must ask.

And this isn’t a chat room.

And I am usually only around for an hour or so in the evening, after The Wife has fallen asleep on the couch. (Right now She and the dog are having a drooling contest. I almost wish I bothered to figure out the digital camera.)

Even tho’ it’s against my nature, MTNGirl, I’ll try to be nice.
How about a roll of toilet paper in an office?

MTNGIRL, relax hon.

Life?

Lordy, threadspotting has gotten desperate.

What am I?

I am Gladiator.

I am of many colors;
People need me;
At the end of the day, I am short;
I do not cost much;
What am I?
Street drugs.
