I'd like to continue. But, since n00less clearly has the answers... but, other than that, the only real complaint I have is that since you don't come on/post much, there's a huge time gap between questions and/or answers. Other that that, it's been alot of fun, and I want to thank you for the time you put into this. I, personally, have enjoyed playing.

I only answered because no one else knows, but yes, these are famous riddles, but often work much better in the original french where the double-meanings of words make better sense, than when translated into English. . . .

Tell ya what, let's open this up a little. How about winner chooses a new riddle (if it's ok with Samuel?)

So here's mine:

Each time I'm never the same
"unbalanced" is what some may claim
Though some don't know how, I'm more popular now
than the classics, and ain't that a shame

I am no good at this stuff, but I'll try one I found:


What is Unusual About this Paragraph?

How quickly can you find out what is unusual about this paragraph? It looks so ordinary that you would think that nothing is wrong with it at all-- and, in fact, nothing is. But it is a bit odd. Why? If you study it and think about it, you may find out, but I am not going to assist you in any way. You must do it without any coaching. No doubt, if you work at it for long, it will dawn on you. Who knows?

I think I know what the solution is. It is actually nothing abnormal at all. But I'll allow visitors of Lux to fathom a solution individually. Good luck!

jesterme's paragraph is unusual in that it doesn't make use of "e", the most common letter in English language usage.

Sammy, save the world from learning what TSK might consider an enigma! Post another of your thought-provoking puzzles, please???

At the request of TSK here it is........Keep in mind that the enigma is originaly in french....


Elle communique les vibrations
Qui font chanter le violon.
On la cherche par amour,
Mais on doit la rendre un jour.
Qui est-elle ?



It communicates the vibrations
That make the violin sing.
We look for love,
But we must make it one day.
Who is she?


Im ok with the fact that the winner gives the next enigma.I havent found another web site for my enigmas...seems the 1 I have right now n00 knows all the answer to it....lol

n00less is a bit of an enigma himself...so naturally, he knows all.......

An "all seeing" clown, if you will.

BTW, at the risk of thread splitting, where is the clown emoticon already?

Alternate translation for lines 3 + 4:

One seeks it by love,
But must return it one day.


I will guess heart.
