    A DEER!!!

    You're a deer, aren't you Adrian?

    What happens now you have two correct answers? Are we both winners? I wouldn't want to fall out with Michael over this 😉 and it really doesn't help that only one person knows the rules of Riddle. Maybe Michael knows the rules too? I bet he does!

    (ps will you be on the early or late shift tomorrow Adrian?)

    Good point @WhatThe, perhaps once a riddle is guessed correctly, another can be posted regardless of day!
