There could well be lots of answers but i am looking for a semi-logical one in the end. I thought of this while I was....(that will be the first clue) IP Logged 24 beers in a case. 24 hours in the day....coincidence?? I think not.

Just a little puzzle which will be pretty hard without clues so here ya go. What does everybody in england complain about. IP Logged 24 beers in a case. 24 hours in the day....coincidence??

You might have just said the one I was looking for though.     This really is pretty bad, but its the best I could think up. IP Logged 24 beers in a case. 24 hours in the day....coincidence??

So, in that context it must be because of the cricket !!   -chronodekar IP Logged towr wu::riddles Moderator Uberpuzzler Some people are average, some are just mean.     Gender: Posts: 13730 Re: birds   « Reply #9 on: Jun 24th, 2009, 5:11am » Quote Modify on Jun 24th, 2009, 4:01am, chronodekar wrote: Nevertheless, on a generalization, I think we can agree that birds like insects. Nah, I really can't agree. Too many species of birds have entirely different diets.

Hawk don't, owls don't, in general, birds of prey don't. And there's also a class birds that rather eat vegetation. Like geese, which eat grass; and ducks and swans as well.   And I can't say I've seen pigeons eat insects; but admittedly I've mostly seen them eat the remains of what people drop/throw on the streets. I don't know what they're natural diet is. But isn't their feed typically seeds? « Last Edit: Jun 24th, 2009, 3:45pm by towr » IP Logged Wikipedia, Google, Mathworld, Integer sequence DB Grimbal wu::riddles Moderator Uberpuzzler     Gender: Posts: 7527 Re: birds   « Reply #12 on: Jun 25th, 2009, 1:09am » Quote Modify Or worms.
