Sorry @Dynamisante! You did get them all right 😊

The riddle answers are…

1. The future

2. Your breath

3. Fog

4. The letter ‘R’

Well done! Number 4 was a bit sneaky I think!

Not sure on all of them….

Turn over a new leaf

Banana split

Football- Get over it- High school- Water under the bridge- Turn over a new leaf- Banana split I think!

Rosie_Scope · October 22

These are quite tricky! You're close @Starman! You've got Football, Turn over a new leaf, and Banana Split right.

For the school one, maybe think about the position of the word.

Anyone got any ideas about the water one?

Sorry @vikingqueen, I didn't notice you'd posted at exactly the same time as me yesterday! All correct, well done!

Here's a new one to puzzle over:

Can you work out the last sum?

A maths problem. The first row shows 3 magnifying glasses that add up to 9, then 2 baskets and a feather adding up to 4. Next, a feather, a magnifying glass and another feather add up to 7. What would one magnifying glass, two feathers and a basket add up to?

8 ?

Rosie_Scope · October 23

Got it straight away @chez77, well done! And welcome to the community by the way ☺️

How about some riddles?

Riddles

1. What travels faster: heat or cold?

2. Turn me on my side and I am everything. Cut me in half and I am nothing. What am I?

3. What word contains 26 letters, but only three syllables? 

4. What goes up and down, but never moves?

chez77 · October 23

thanks & hello @Rosie_Scope 🙂

chez77 · October 23

1 is heat
2 is 8
3 is Alphabet 😀

4 is Staircase

Rosie_Scope · October 23

You're so good at these @chez77! I've got a different answer for number four, but yours works just as well, so you're not wrong!

Can you think of another answer that might work too?

4. What goes up and down, but never moves? A ladder?

ChrisR777 · October 23

Sorry for puzzling you @WhatThe, I was just reminded of something Gollum said to Bilbo Baggins, underneath the Misty Mountains. ☺️

Rachel_Scope · October 24

I'll give you a clue for number 4. It's gone down recently and we're all feeling it!

Rosie_Scope · October 26

It's a tough one that one! I'll leave you to ponder a little longer, but I'll drop a new puzzle too in case anyone fancies it.

How many squares are there in the bottom picture?

Well, it's temperature but the mercury moves so I discounted that originally..

I can see 13 squares.
