Perhaps "cross" is actually the word itself.

Like if you start with the word "double" and add "cross" you get "double cross" which means to betray, i.e. to turn ones back on someone???

But then I dont see how you can add "x" to "double" to get anything... :confused:

This is bothering me too now!

<< The Number 9.


9 x 9 = 81
9 + 9 = 18
>>



This is an interesting idea, but where is the &quot;facing&quot; or &quot;turning of the back&quot; ?

Besides, if the answer is &quot;9&quot; this doesnt make that much sense because you have to use nice twice in this answer, which is kind of a stretch. But still, maybe this is the right idea... :confused:

I am sorry, but this riddle was dumb. The way the question is posed has almost nothing to do with the &quot;answer!&quot;

Asif, thank you for linking to the solution though, it could have bothered me for a long time!

You are right, 9 doesn't make much sense since it's not the number 9 that is switched, so 9 doesn't turn its back...???

maybe if you look at 18 and 81 as a smiley/emoticon... someone wearing glasses and a smirk?????

uhhh... well the answer w/ the numbers in it doesn't sound very good to me, so what about this:

people use the letter X to replace the work Christ, i.e. X-mas
Christ died on the CROSS

therefore I thought it was Christ, yet he wouldn't stand to face you when you give his name an X, and he would turn his back on you when you give him a cross.

so... it would be Christ's arch-enemy mabye?

Satan, or the Anti-Christ

(ok, I am probably completely off but... oh well)

*Sigh* it's not a very satisfying answer, but since it IS on the Internet it must be true ;) So if Asif would like to collect on the aforementioned prize, please PM me your preference of Series #10 or #14 and your mailing address :) BTW do NOT chew the gum, these packs are very old and not stored in an optimal manner.

<< Wouldn't 99 make more sense than 9? >>



I find this slightly more satisfying also.
