Since the last puzzle was such a hit.
 
This one may be a bit harder. I hope you all enjoy it as much. If you want the answer easily, PM me. Good luck.

Solve this word riddle/ puzzle.

Each of these words has the same characteristic. What is it?

Pig
Table
Cab
Real
Yet
Ride


Here's a hint, none of the words start with the letter "A"

Same prize for the one who solves this one as the last, nothing. lol ...

They all start with prime letters, they can't be evenly divided.

pud's friend 05-05-2010 06:25 PM

Takes too much paper and effort to check them all but I like it...
certainly can't think of any new ones.

Kitty 05-05-2010 06:26 PM

I actually think I know this one........but it's so early in the game I don't want to spoil it if I happen to be right.

I'm not your chump, I did the math. I learned this trick in elementary school. It was sixth grade, my first male teacher, Mr. Schaeffer, he was really cute. It was high fashion then to wear high-heeled saddle shoes with disgusting reddish-brown soles and he used to spin on one foot, his toes actually, to turn around and he left what I thought of as tornados in the tiles. He and Mr. Holland used to play football with the boys at recess, that was unheard of! Mr. Holland taught in the classroom that used to be Mrs. Martin's until she up and died, then a year after he took over her classroom, Mr. Holland died too! So, when Mrs. Urbanak took over that classroom, Susie O'Neil (who had serious B.O.) walked up to Mrs. Urbanak and said, "Welcome to the haunted room, you're next." No one would have believed it, and it is a fact that she died shortly thereafter too. It's true, ask any of my sibs, we all remember it like it was sixth grade.

P.S.
UH, DUH! WHOEVER HEARD OF A PRIME LETTER?

Ok, so the first letter is further down in the alphabet than any of the other letters in the word...

c = a + b

I got a meeting to go to. I'm not gonna try the other words.

They all start with a consonent followed by a vowel? I have to go play Trivia now. If I had your e-mail address, I'd invite you to play Mr. Smarty-pants Earl. In fact, I challenge you!!!! PM me if you dare.

Again, good job Tom. As you all now realize, Cindy had it all the way but didn't want it out of the bag.

Kitty 05-06-2010 09:20 AM

Cindy, it's not nice to keep cats in a bag. In fact, it's considered cruel. :mad:

:cool:
