Title: homework help. 4th grade riddle
Post by Sugar Kukie on Nov 18^th, 2004, 9:57pm

HI, I desperately need some help. MY 4th grade nephew needed help wtih this riddle as homework, but now it is bugging me because I cant figure out the answer. Does anyone know.

Of the two groups listed, which one isnt always talking?

group 1- plant blend dog

group 2- knock high wrap

thank you for any help on this.

Anyone for a chorus of 'Silent Knight'?

As a wild guess, I'd say to try looking at words that can replace each of the 6 given and see when can mean or be used for talking - for instance a plant might be tulips (two lips)

Since I'm not any good at this sort of riddle, I tend to leave it to those who are...

Don't feel bad, rmsgrey. I don't understand the answer either. If it doesn't involve computer science or discrete math I am a bit slow ;)

~~I too find WombatDeath's answer to be as impenetrable as the original riddle.~~

Sheesh! I write that, and as I am waiting for it to post, the answer jumps out at me. For those as dense as I am: [hide]the second group, because every word contains silent letters.[/hide]
