    A Thread for Riddles

    I'm trying to write some riddles to keep the kids thinking over the summer, so I'm starting a riddles thread to test some of them. Maybe others will have some to post as well.

      Sounds like a jeopardy question.
      Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

        In my mind's eye, I see, three circles joined in priceless, graceful harmony. Two full as the moon, one hollow as a crown. Two from the sea, five fathoms down. One from the earth, deep under the ground. The whole, a mark of high renown. Tell me, what can it be?

              Lol, is that Clash of the Titans?
              Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

                Given all the out of date gladiator sandals in the pic, it can only be one of two things:

                1. Clash of the titans
                2. LDS relief society activity in utah

                    I saw that movie over 25 years ago on our Beta. My nine year old brain was focused more on Andramada's ass than the riddle.

                      Hint: Leonardo of Pisa is more popularly known as Leonardo Fibonacci.

                          Too tough? My thought was to help them through it a little, but maybe I should dial it back somewhat.
