Post by UTICA, YOUTICA, UDIKA on Mar 30^th, 2004, 6:39pm

Need help wit this riddle, its got me stumped.

- Its best colors are red, white and blue, instead of the old brown and yellow
- It is best used to line the inside of an eskmioes igloo
- Its value goes up everyday
- The spelling changes everyday

What is it?

//Title changed by Icarus: please use meaningful titles

Just a wild guess that doesn't completely fit: [hide]
I think it's the simple answer, the US flag...Old Glory
Note the use of "old" in the first line,
the inside of igloo is "glo"
"The spelling changes everyday" could mean changing some of the letters in the word "everyday," and the two middle letters supply the completion of Old Glory.
The flag goes up everyday, and I suppose that's it's value.
I don't know what brown and yellow would refer to.[/hide]

When I first read that it's best colours are red, white and blue, it made me think about flags. But when I continued reading, I saw that I was far from the correct answer... :-/ Cause I didn't think of Old Glory.

For some reason the idea of electrical wiring keeps surfacing in my head. Why, I don't know. The idea of dancing with Nanako Matsushima also keeps surfacing in my head... this I know why...
