Title: the around the world riddle game
Post by krzydj13121an on Aug 16^th, 2007, 8:28pm

there is a riddle game of some sort that i just don't seem to understand about going around the world, so i was wondering if anyone can help me..it goes something like this..

"im taking a trip around the world and im bringing an apple. what r u bringing?

i'm bringing a rabbit. what are you bringing?
i'm bringing an orange. what are you bringing?
i'm bringing an umbrella. what are you bringing?
i'm bringing a nail. what are you bringing?
i'm bringing a dog. what are you bringing?"

..etc. etc. etc.

anyways, i dont see any relation between the listed items above. can someone help me understand this please?!?

I have played this game before, except where it is setup differently. There are many varieties of this game, such as you have to say please before you are correct (the moon is a balloon is the coloquial nameof the game), double letters are required so apple and book are correct, there are many variants, but they are all based on commonailites in the words.

In this case, the last letter and the first letter must the be of the same type, both consonant or vowel. I have never seen this version but that seems to be the answer you are looking for. Anyone hold a different point of view?

P.S. sometimes it takes a young person to figure out this kind of problem :P

I reckon the next three could be a teapot, a hare, and an elephant.
