Hmm, it's somehow too vague for me :/

Just think as simply as you can and you will get it (maybe )

nine?



four + five

Yeah, I have been thinking about this too - but then why would we need 2 + 3 then ? ( 2+3 = 5; part of "4 + 5"; would be the 4 numbers 2,3,4 & 5...).



Wel, I guess I'm really thinking too complex again, my handicap. lol

Yes, the answer was nine. I over thought it the first time I heard it too (but not that much Oo)

That's a mean one - it starts with and IF and basically you can throw the entire IF sentence away and just add 2 numbers to get the answer. The coder in me is upset by the misuse of IF lol

Yes 'if' in math is usually an equation: 2=company and 3= crowd find the value of 4 and 5

That's right too.



*looks for new riddles*

I was thinking about " a doublecrowd and a crowdcompany" but that just seemed to silly

This riddle is from one of my all-time favorite books



My first is in day but never in night,

My second's in dark but unseen in light;

My middle's a twin in daughter, not son,

While the fifth's not in two, but in three and one;

The final's in first, not middle or last,

And my whole is in sheath; got an Elastoplast?

Well I am thinking its a letter comparison but I can't get it.

I can only guess, how hard it was to solve that riddle. The answer follows the riddle in the text, so you have no chance to solve it on your own when you read the book.

Usefyule gadjet.

I was about to ask what book that was from. I'll have to check it out...But yeah, I bet that was a pain reading and having to figure out on your own, if the book didn't provide it right away.

Actually, that you have no nonsweet bread variants with a crust. At least Vancouver was spot-on confirming that prejudice, if I interpret that as all north-American people.

Oh wow, thanks - that's a clever one. Didn't know there was a book. But the last line with an sheath reminded me of some kind of "sharp" weapon, well...
