They don't really "hide" -- the just appear to hide, as they're picking food off the ground.   IP Logged How about supercalifragilisticexpialidociouspuzzler [Towr, 2007] visitor Guest Re: My body   « Reply #9 on: Apr 7th, 2003, 1:03pm » Quote Modify Remove Maybe the bird is a cuckoo hiding behind a door IP Logged maryl Guest Re: My body   « Reply #10 on: Apr 7th, 2003, 2:43pm » Quote Modify Remove Thanks BNC for clarifying that; now I feel like hiding. It is a common assumption though-and you know what they say about assuming things.   IP Logged Icarus wu::riddles Moderator Uberpuzzler Boldly going where even angels fear to tread.     Gender: Posts: 4863 Re: My body   « Reply #11 on: Apr 7th, 2003, 6:27pm » Quote Modify No - It's a good puzzle, at least with the added line. Just because what it refers to is folklore, not fact does not disqualify it. (Of course, some obnoxious person will always bring up  that it isn't true - but you have my permission to tell me to shut up. ) As for the original puzzle not being specific enough, these things often need a bit of work before they come out alright.   It's far better to have failed to formulate a puzzle perfectly on the first try, than it is to repeat a good puzzle, but mistate it so badly that the "correct" answer no longer works. You can find lots of those in this forum. One of the worst for this is the "gry" puzzle - so many versions of it are out there that no one is completely sure what the original puzzle was. Most of time when one comes across it, the version seen is just a lie, with no correct answer. IP Logged "Pi goes on and on and on ... And e is just as cursed.
