Would appreciate it if someone could give me the answer. This riddle was in an old mother goose book. All I can remember is the riddle. 12 pears hanging high 12 knights riding by each knight takes a pear Yet 11 are left hanging there!

I know two riddles that are like this. The answer to this one is that the name of the knight who took the pear is "Each." The other riddle is: Three riders riding by, Three pears hanging high, Each rider takes a pear, But leaves three hanging there. (Message edited by bethie on October 18, 2006) |

I would head for the apple tree myself...but that's just me! Take my heart and soul. But please don't step on it, it breaks easily.

Thanks Bethie. I knew the answer was simple but I couldn't remember it. LOL Guess I am a member of CRS (can't remember shit) "Success in almost any field depends more on energy and drive than it does on intelligence." Sloan Wilson
