Riddle verse 3

When a German came to America with work upon his mind
Innovation created this product, a sandwich of a kind
Easy to prepare, it was, and such a delight to eat
Necessary, it has now become, at every summer retreat
Even in the wintertime this food can find its place
Returning warmth that once was lost to winter’s cool embrace

(This is the final verse)


#260

Hamburger.


#261

Incorrect


#262

Okay, now I’m mad.

Reuben sandwich?


#263

Sorry. I’ve left enough there, but the second verse is garbage :confused:

also incorrect


#264

OH WAIT!

Hotdogs!


#265

Yep!

Did you see the clue?


#266

No, I just recalled the buns were called ‘french style bread’ in some book I read a while ago.


#267

I was actually going for french mustard and Heinz ketchup, but that works too


#268

I was thinking Vienna sausage + the mention of ‘french style bread’ to describe hot dog buns.


#269

Picking back up! This one is actually a math one, and it’s pretty interesting- keep in mind the 7 at the bottom is not a typo. The 7 does belong there. Okay, find out what the ? is, good luck!

I would say 15, but the 7 doesn’t line up with that

Maybe… 15?


#271

The answer is 12.


#272

Duck smart, duck got it right. :cake: :tada:


#273

To explain:

The ‘riddle’ arranges the numbers so that it looks like taking away the left number from the right results in the number both end up pointing to. That aside, this is wrong because obviously the bottom result is 7, and 21-13 = 8.

The answer is in fact based on the individual digits themselves; adding up all the individual numbers in the left and right numbers ends up with the number they point to. 21-13 = 8, but 2+1+1+3 = 7, which is the right answer and remains consistent throughout. Therefore, the answer isn’t 31-16 which would equal 15, but 3+1+1+6 which equals 12.

…I have too much time on my hands.

Great job man, that’s really great! Do you have a riddle you want to throw in?

Uh, well, not really. :sweat_smile: I’m not great at coming up with riddles.
