Sorry this is late kids, I wasn't home yesterday:

Pronounced as one letter,
And written with three,
Two letters there are,
And two only in me.
I'm double, I'm single,
I'm black, blue, and gray,
I'm read from both ends,
And the same either way.
What am I?

Buck Fush · 03-23-2006, 02:59 PM

An eye?

I got one you can't Google.

When you take one, you lose one. But Matthew related it to us differently.

We all know Roman numerals.
I = 1
V = 5
X = 10

This statement:

IX + VI = 11

can be made true by moving one and only one line from one place in the expression to another.

The rules:

The line must be used.
One side of the equals sign must equal the other.(You may not use the line over the equals sign to show inequality.)
You cannot bend the line(I.E. You cannot take the "I" from the "VI", bend it and put it front of the equation to make "SIX + V = 11")(This was my original answer when I heard the riddle. I thought it was creative.)

One of my professors had this as a standing riddle and if you solved it you could take off an hour early. It was up for for almost 4 weeks.

(Even though it takes 3 lines to draw an "I", it only counts as 1.)

If you've worked with encryption, this one jumps right out at you. I won't answer it.

Not saying I know the answer, but I know what the pattern is.
