Hot on the heels of Bilbao’s story puzzle, I have several more challenges to try to stump you with! The week is still young!

My 1st is an abbreviated term, French, for addressing a man;

My 2nd comes from one end of a dog, runs up a tree, and floats on the sea;

OK, Falwan has egged me on here…

Ok, we haven’t done one of these in awhile, but have another neat contest!

This one is sponsored by ZoomDoggle, creator of

Place a hundred at each end, with a five in the middle,

And a one on each side of the five: then will the riddle

Solved be when you find (at least so says the ditty)

Are the  _ _ _ _ _ _    _ _ _ _ _ _.  Can you find them?

Janet was quite ill one day.

Febrile trouble came her way.

Martyr-like, she lay in bed;

A 50 year old man falls out of a thirty story building onto the ground, and lives.

How is this possible?

My first is either good or bad,

May please or may offend you;

My second, in a thirsty mood,

Can very much befriend you.

The haughty ones do it down upon
Does it up, the sincere student
I manage mine with clothes I don
When you do, contacts may augment.

Do you see which word answers this riddle?

Ok, another rebus puzzle from Gray-T; this one may be a little harder, so it comes with a quote from the guy shown on the left:

“I live in a little cell, with a window that won’t even close,

In which Boreas himself would not want to live.”

Behind the barn at early morn

I hear a herald blow his horn.

His beard was flesh, his mouth was horn,

The like of him was never born.

What did I hear?

After trying one of our earlier riddles, a visitor was inspired to create this:

You surely need me to make a point sound
I could save time or ease your workday

To a word of consent, add one half of a fright;

Next subjoin what you never beheld in the night;

These rightly connected, you’ll quickly obtain

On every high tree I may always be found

Likewise on the towering hill;

I’m the sport of the boys, and when moving around

Sometimes do appear to stand still;

A monosyllable I am,-a reptile, I vow;

If you put me together, I’m syllables two;

I’m English, I’m Latin, I’m one or the other,

A bit easier this time:

Once you get what the middle picture is for this one, use it again in Gray-T’s puzzle below (

Many of you will remember Gray-T and the colorful comments he used to leave on the site. Haven’t heard from him in a while, but last week he surprised me with this picture riddle/puzzle: (click on picture for high resolution version)
