A riddle for you


Think of words ending in -GRY. Angry and hungry are two of them. There are only three words in 'the English language'. What is the third word? The word is something that everyone uses every day. If you have listened carefully, I have already told you what it is."

I don't



Each aspect of the soul has it's own part to play, but the ideal is harmonious agreement with reason and control.

When I was doing a co-op placement with Toronto court sevices a couple years back that riddle was going through every office in the city. Nobody could figure it out.

the riddle says 'angry and hungry' are two words ending in 'gry

then, as a separate statement of fact, it says "There are only three words in 'the English language'." with 'the english language' in quotes, so we know its referring to the three words in the quote.

basically, the first two sentences about the 'gry words are to distract you from the real question.
