ARE. YOU. ALL. READY?! Well, here it is. The long awaited, I know I've been waiting for it, and Mimi and Kelly have too, PUZZLE/RIDDLES thread!!! This is the lovely puzzle posted in Vol. 1 Issue #5 Jan. 5, 2009 edition of The Briefing. Here we go. You all have until January 31st, 2009, 11:59:99PM (??? Is it 59 or 99 for milliseconds??? IDK... >.<) to answer the question correctly. First one to get the answer right gets a...PRIZE!!!
A word I know, six letters it contains subtract just one and twelve is what remains
Anyone (excluding Mimi and Kelly and anyone else that knows the answer through unkind means), know the answer or would like to guess? You get a prize if you're correct. Please do not cheat by looking this up online. It's unfair and immoral, and it just makes all of us sad. *tearz* ...that's a lot of color all in one post...hmm...
Yeahs...spread the word to all you HH friends.

I don't believe that "thirteen" is six letters...wait a minute...let me count... T-1 H-2 I-3 R-4 T-5 E-6 E-7 N-8
Thirteen is eight letters...
"six letters it contains..."
So, nope. It ain't "thirteen."

it has 6 letters technically, several letters are repeated So it does have 6 different letters T-1 H-2 I-3 R-4 t E-5 e N-6

I see...wow...that's pretty creative, but it's still wrong.
Maybe you should write the puzzle for next week...but then again...
If you find any puzzles w/chickens or spleens or something and it isn't too difficult or too easy, you should tell Kelly or Mimi or whoever's doing The Briefing for next month, but then you won't be "eligible" to win a prize...bummer...

Is it right? You can email me the answer and I'll tell you if it's right or wrong, and you can totally then tell your friend whether's he/she's right and if he/she's right, then you can then tell them they should join our club before January ends, and then join HH Chat, post the answer first, and win a prize, but he/she'd better hurry before someone else solves it and posts it.
You should recruit him/her...

No, it's not 1 twelve or a dozen. I'm sorry that it's killing you, but either way, Kelly picked it. So, you can blame Kelly all you want, but you're not allowed to kill her, 'kay?
You're getting close, and although all your answers somehow work, they're still wrong.
I would laugh if some other random member guessed the answer and got it right, especially since you're trying so hard...maybe I should tell Susan and Dmitri that they should join us in this riddle guessing. More competition... *smile*

Doesn't matter anymore anyway since the 7 story fall put me in a coma...so . I blame my coma on Kelly... BTW, is the answer one a.m.? (This time I did count the space, but not the periods ) Could also be p.m.

Hate to say this, since you're trying ever so hard and all, but the answer is not 1 a.m. or p.m. Too bad.
No offense or nothin', but this is seriously kinda sad...
By the way, don't forget to come to the "unofficial" Monday meeting and the "unofficial" Wednesday Charity Ball meeting.

Maybe it's because the puzzle makes no sense! Are you sure you can't just post the answer before Kevin has to be taken to the asylum for the damage it's done to him?
