I'll post a riddle and it has to be answered correctly by the end of the day.

If it is, we move on to riddle 2 and so on.

Let's see how many days we can guess the riddle correctly without breaking the streak.

    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 ๐Ÿ˜‰ 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?)
