    A Riddle
    This is a riddle for the right-brained....

    2 + 2 = fish
    3 + 3 = eight
    7 + 7 = ???

    :D

    EDIT for a PS ---> If you like figuring out riddles and don't want the answer spoiled, then be careful not to scroll down to look at replies, because someone is bound to post the answer. :P

    Visually, all I'm getting is "triangle", so that's my guess...

    Love it! I'm a pretty left-brained person and I never would have come up with that answer.

    You got it. Triangle or arrow or whatever. Saw that today and thought it was the most interesting riddle I've seen in awhile. :)

    Feel free to pose more riddles in this thread! :D

    7+7= triangle (flip 2 2's and it looks like a fish, flip 2 3's and it looks like an "8", flip 2 7's and it looks like a triangle)

    Clever, but not the answer. The candle wouldn't make the actual barrel lighter.

    My turn:

    I end the race. I am the beginning of the end. The start of eternity and the end of space. There are two of me in Heaven and one in hell. I am in water, fire, sunshine and darkness. I am the beginning of earth and the end of life. What am I?

    A man wanted to enter an exclusive club but did not know the password that was required. He waited by the door and listened. A club member knocked on the door and the doorman said "twelve." The member replied "six " and was let in. A second member came to the door and the doorman said "six." The member replied "three" and was let in. The man thought he had heard enough and walked up to the door. The doorman said "ten" and the man replied "five." but he was not let in. What should have he said and why?

    He should have replied with "three" since the reply is the number of letters in the doorman's challenge number. TWELVE has six letters, SIX has three letters, and TEN is three letters.
