This is a great rhyming riddle that I stumped many people with. "I caught ten fish without an eye, And nine without a tail; six with no head, and half of eight I weighed upon a scale. Now who can tell me, as I ask it, How many fish are in my basket?" *the answer is not 33.* |

I believe you have 0 fish in your basket because you never said that you put any in a basket. (edited by Kurama on 05-23-04 02:13 AM) |

Well, Kurama, you are right in the fact that I have 0 fish, but for the wrong reason. Try and figure out WHY I have 0 fish; you just had a good answer and a bad reason. |

You have 0 fish because none of the fish are complete...they are all missing a part, so they aren't really fish... | |||

Well, unless I'm completely mistaken, fish are still fish even if they are missing a part; for example, filet of fish is missing all of it's guts, but we still call it fish. |

You have 0 fish in the basket because they are on the scales? (edited by LostAuzzie on 05-23-04 06:57 PM) |

Well, Jakori is the closest one so far, but he's still incorrect. Here's a hint; think about the numbers and how they are written... |
