Quick Riddle.

Posted 2004-05-27, 06:13 PM
Think of words ending in -GRY. Angry and hungry are two of them. Now, being that 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.

Hah, it personally took me about 10 minutes to get it, but that is only because I've seen something semi-similar to this, sequential wise that is. This chick I know is pure genius at riddles. Either she knows all that were ever made, or she is pretty good. My guess is she is good. Took her about 2-3 minutes to get this one, at most. I was honestly quite impressed. She has gotten every riddle I've thrown her way, and believe you me, I've hit her with some really tough ones.

I went through about 2 months in my life where I was so bored at my cubicle job that I would look for riddles all day, do them, and find more. I'm not bad at solving them, but she is ridiculous.

1113112221, I will try to actually do this tomorrow... but this is what I guess out of a sequence I think I found in it

Edit: I change it to 1131122211 after when I post it I noticed something

People are just fucking guessing numbers..

The actual answer is 1112213211, and it's not a sequence, nor does it have a damn thing to do with mathematics.

Uh, that answer is not right. So you = not pwn?

I'm guessing it was just a typo in the answer, but still, its not correct.

Lol yep. Oops.

Anyhow, for anyone who hasn't gotten it yet, it's phonetic. Read what each line is in english, and how many there are (as in, if you were explaining it to someone over the phone), then read the next line numerically.

in this case the answer must surely be “language” (the third word in “the English language”).



aggry: Coloured and variegated glass beads of ancient manufacture, found buried in the ground in Africa. A word of unknown origin. Seemingly always used attributively, as in aggry beads.

braggry: A variant form of braggery. Obsolete.

conyngry: An obsolete dialectal variant of conyger, itself an obsolete term meaning “rabbit warren”.

gry: The smallest unit in Locke’s proposed decimal system of linear measurement, being the tenth of a line, the hundredth of an inch, and the thousandth of a (“philosophical”) foot. Also the grunt of a pig, an insignificant trifle, or a verb meaning to roar. Obsolete.

iggry: Egyptian colloquial Arabic pronunciation of ijri: “Hurry up!”, brought back after the First World War by members of British and Australian forces who had fought in Egypt.

meagry: Having a meagre appearance. Obsolete.

nangry: A variant form of angry. Obsolete.

podagry: Dodder, or the condition of a plant infested with it.

puggry: A variant form of puggree, a light turban or head-covering worn by inhabitants of the Indian subcontinent.

As in, if you had this number sequence:

1

If you read it phonetically, you would say, "One 1", or for the next line you would have:

11

Again, read it photenically, you would say, "Two 1's", or for the next line you would have:

21

So on and so forth...

1211
111221
312211
13112221
1113213211
31131211131221
13211311123112112211
etc., etc. etc...
