Think — Keith

Keith - Thick


Hmm... two differing perspectives...

Packs - Capes
I am worth very much, and you cannot buy me.
Yet I am yours, if you like, completely free.
I am here for you, when you are sad
and I do not judge even, when you do things that are bad
I lift you up high, when you're feeling so low,
supporting you, protect you from foes.
I soothe your fears and ease your pain,
I listen to your worries, again and again.
I am there when you need me and not when you don't,
I know when you will and know when you won't
So what am I then, that will last till the end?

I am white and have two wings. I cannot fly and my direction changes every four years. What am I?


I am taking a guess at the White House?

But then, if the president gets re-elected...

Sigh. Your directions are so vague. I could enclose the empty bottom of the nine and erase the top part, but I sense you want a more clever answer. So,

Draw an S in front of the Roman numeral IX and it spells 6 ( SIX ).

I still like my answer better

But your answer involves a stroke of the pen and the use of an eraser... What is difficult about 'Just one stroke of the pen'? Nothing else is permitted. Nothing at all.
Your answer is now correct, of course so I will ponder yours.

Well, to be fair, I don't really agree that using a pen as a pin constitutes 'a stroke of the pen' when the mark was caused by the movement of the paper.

Well, touché. I like that one.

A milking stool has three legs but cannot run.

I won't add another until the last was correctly answered.


Yes, a stool.


While I may have misspelled pin vs pen, I maintain my answer was in compliance to your question. An answer you were not expecting can still be correct. The trick is in formulating your question against trickery.

Impasse I suppose.


But what about the only permissible action being the stroke of the pen. You moved the paper which is outside the remit...


How can I turn 9 into 6 with just one stroke of the pen?
Well, to be fair, I don't really agree that using a pen as a pin constitutes 'a stroke of the pen' when the mark was caused by the movement of the paper and besides, the only permitted action is a stroke of the pen. It didn't say that you can move the paper.

I imagine his name was, erm... Nixon?

I am afraid that your answer is wrong. I did ask for 'just one stroke of the pen'.
I was doing a little reminiscing the other day about places I have been and I remembered that some thirty years ago, when serving with The RAF I was posted to Port Stanley on the Falkland Islands for four months.
Therefore, During that time I was almost 8000 miles away from my home and my young family!
So, the question is this;

What is the furthest you have been away from your home and family, for how long and why?

A Map?

How many animals did Moses take onto the Ark?


That would have been Noah. Two of each kind.

How far can a dog run into the woods?


Actually, you are wrong. The answer is Moses took no animals into the Ark!

The answer to yours, of course, is half way after which he is running out again.
