how so? He got the answer and I am paying him...

I am sorry if I somehow offended you?

I made the riddle to have fun and maybe take a step away from the YAGT and stuff...which it did, except people had to get hostile :(


1) You said all information was relevant. What does a sunny Sunday afternoon have to do with a play?

2)You said got the riddle from googling it, (Or are now you saying to made it up?) Perhaps you can provide a link.

wrong I said I was surprised no one googled it

I heard it at work from this guy that has this riddle book...

some of those are pretty interesting...



Thing is, they all require you to fit a story to the conditions in the puzzle assuming information that you're not given. So really, there's no ONE right answer to any of them (in fact, there are multiple answers for a lot in the link you posted).

So in fact, any answer that's been given in this thread that does not contradict any of the conditions in the riddle Son of a N00b posted is the "right" answer.

In other words, this riddle sucks.

What a stupid answer to a stupid riddle. Given the riddle, there was aboslutely no requirement for that answer; it could have been anything.

Here's an answer that fits just as well: The guy's beer if flat because the bar he's in is sh!tty and serves flat beer.
