RIDDLE THAT'LL KILL YOUR BRAIN! This is going to make you so MAD!

There are three words in the English language that end in "gry".

ONE is angry and the other is hungry. EveryONE knows what the third

ONE means and what it stands for. EveryONE uses them everyday, and

if you listened very carefully, I've given you the third word. What

is it? _______gry?

[sporties daughter]

Heard this before...won't spoil the fun for other users but i think one of the words (or word) begins with the letter l?

[GRiM]

Many words in the English language end in "gry"

for example

"gry" = very small distance (About 1 tenth of an inch)

or

"aggry" = type of prehistoric bead

[Mr-Lex]

I think I know the answer...heard it before...if I remember properly the answer is..."Langauage"!?! I hear you say

Am I right Brettster?

[Brettster]

Im not sure

its a trick question and it could be that or it could be Three as in the third word in the first sentence

but there are lots of gry words as it turns out so after i posted it I thought its not as clever as I first thought lol

[GRiM]

Grim - this one has done my head in.

When you say it makes sense once punctuated, does that mean you add your own quotes and commas - not just use the sentence "as is"?

[GRiM]

You can use any punctuation marks you want:- quotes, commas, full stops question marks, exclamation marks etc.....

" ' ! ? , .

The order of the words stays the same.

[Geoffers]

"HAD" must be the name of a person -

Smith, where Jones had had "had", had had "had had". "had had" had had the

examiner's approval.

?

[GRiM]

Spot on young Geoffers, your sentence makes sense.

However, Had is not the name of a person.

You've worked out that, cadidate Smith answers the question with, "had had.", where Jones answers with "had". The correct answer was "had."

However, the examiner originally marked this wrong, then changed his mind.

So, put THAT into a sentence and you get the answer........

Smith, where Jones, had had "had", had had "had had". "Had had" had had the examiner's approval.
