Red face Another little puzzle..........

Try these...........

1. While walking down the street I met a man. He tipped his hat and drew his cane and in this riddle I told his name. What is the mans name? DONE

2. If you cross out all unnecessary letters in the following string of letters, a logical sentence will remain. Can you see it?
AALLLOUGNINCEACELSSSEANRYTELNETCTEERS DONE

3. How many sides does a circle have?DONE

4. Cross out six letters and you'll find a word that we should know. The word must be spelled out in order.
SBAIXNLETATNERSAS DONE

5. Forward and forward I go, never looking back. My limit no one knows, more of me do they lack. Like a river I do flow, and an eagle I fly. Now can you guess, what am I? DONE

6. Gaze at this sentence for just about sixty seconds and then explain what makes it quite different from the average sentence; quick, what is it? DONE

7. Rearrange the following letters to make just one word.
USTOODWERNJ DONE

8. If you wrote all of the numbers from 300 to 400 on a piece of paper, how many times would you have written the number 3? DONE

9. Fill in the blanks using the same three letters at the end as at the beginning in the same order to find a place where water flows free:
_ _ _ ERGRO _ _ _ DONE

10. You hear me calling to you, beckoning with my shrill voice;
My keys will carry you to the place of your choice.
What am I? DONE

11. I come in different shapes and sizes. Part of me are curves, others are straight. You can put me anywhere you like, but there is only one right place for me. What am I?DONE
