This was sent to me in an e-mail earlier today and I've seen it before but have yet to figure out the answer. Does ANYONE get this?!



RIDDLE THAT'LL KILL YOUR BRAIN This is going to make you so MAD!
There are three words in the English language that end in"gry". ONE is angry and the other is hungry. Everyone knows what the third ONE means and what it stands for.

Everyone uses them everyday, and if you listened very carefully, I've given you the third word. What is it?
__________gry?
......send this to 5 people and you'll get the answer to pop up on your screen.

They phrased it wrong. I know what the answer is but let me phrase if right for you.

and the other is hungry.
Everyone knows what the third ONE
means and what it stands for.

Now read it, you should be able to get it ;)

Ok, I know I'm slow...whew wee! The thing that is getting me is saying there are THREE words and then saying one is angry and the other hungry. Doesn't that account for two words, meaning there would be another word? WOW...I'm so sorry, I just confused myself as well. Boy am I out of it.:rolleyes:



...off to my hole to hide in shame over the fact I can't figure this out...

Well you and I are blood idiots then because I don't get it either! I've read it over and over and it makes no sense. Is 'language' the key word or something? I soooo don't see it. Someone lay it out on a silver platter for me will ya?

Ok, if that's what I think it is then I want to ring the neck of whoever thought this up. How on earth is the 'gry' relevant to ANY of it?! HMPH...I have a brain ache from all this so if you'll excuse me...

Well then you better PM me dude, cos I'm still stumped.
I understand one part of the riddle - the words 'angry' and 'hungry' can both be spelt using letters from the phrase "The English Language".
But I don't get the last part, "Everyone uses them everyday,
and if you listened very carefully, I've given you the third word - _____gry."
This is seriously p#ssing me off. I'm not a stupid person - I got straight A's at school and I work in Accounting so I know I should be able to figure this out.......BUT I CAN'T!!!!!!!!:mad:
PM me the answer ( in simple terms please, so I can understand it) and I'll be forever greatful.

They threw in that HUNGRY and ANGRY bit to throw you off.

I DO NOT GET IT!!!!!!! THIS IS DRIVING ME UP THE WALL! IF "GRY" IS THE ANSWER... "GRY" ISN'T A WORD, AT LESAT NOT IN THE ENGLISH DICTIONARY

They should NOT have added the _____gry because that ruins it. It makes it not make sense.

*whistles* rolleyes: *whistles*

Me? Eh, eek. Excuse me all while I go find a shovel to make my hole a bit deeper before Amanda arrives.

Hmmm...shovel, concrete blocks, paintball gun, camouflage covering...might as well bury my self alive until this all boils over.

KT, grab a shovel and come help me since you claim to live here too!

Later guys, I'm heading into temporary hiding:seeya: :



ks...who is now assuming the name JuicyFruit until the coast is clear.

...off to my hole, which is NOT located in Alabama...honest :rolleyes:

Don't feel stupid. Whoever made up that riddle is the stupid person. That bit about the third word ending in "___gry" was just put in there to confuse you. It ruins the whole riddle because it doesn't make any sense.
The whole point of riddles is that they have to be tricky......but they also have to make sense. Someone should tell that to the dope that made this one up!
Ks - who sent you that riddle? I say we all track 'em down and smack 'em for twisting our minds for the past week!!! ;)

Yes, I agree with you. Perhaps after we track them down and smack 'em I can come out of the deepest cavern in my hole where I'm currently hiding from Amanda. The air is getting really thick and musty down here....

just kiddin guys..i got it now!

but does that mean that the first sentence of the Riddle "There are three words in the Englsih Language that end in 'gry'" is a complete and total lie?!

Tha'ts not a riddle....that's just a dumb man trying to be smart

I, JuicyFruit and not ks, will attempt to explain it to you. 'GRY' is TOTALLY irrelevant in this riddle when it comes to determining the answer. 'GRY'is to confuse us and make us mad as heck...including hunting down people in their holes. Anyway...

There are three words (in the phrase) "The English Language." The third word (in that phrase) is language, that is your answer. 'GRY' is to tick us off-UGH.

So, if you get it now will you call back the dogs and stop the manhunt for me...I mean ks;)
