Re: Count all the EYES-could be the hardest puzzle in the wo

Several answers are possible, dependable on how you interpret the question.

I would count 10 eyes too:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
However, when you count the 'EYES' in the question itself, there are 11...


Spoiler (Rollover to View):
And if you take the question quite literally, you should only count 'EYES' (capital letters), not 'eye' or even 'eyes'. Which brings the answer to either 0 or 1 (without or with the one in the question). Or, if small print is allowed, 3 or 4. Very Happy

Nineteen, if you count "eye" and "i".

And if you want to max out also count Roney's eyes as he is mentioned. Or even 2 extra for every time snake is mentioned. You never know how the twisted riddlersmind wraps around a enigma and sticks a puzzle into a conundrum.

btw, Snake eyes? No pun intended I hope? If it is then I would say 2 dice totaling 42 eyes. or 2 when only counting the ones showing.

Adding to your first vein of thought, a COCK has two eyes, as well.

Also, there are eight we missed. Those of the skins Roley has shed each year.

In that light. I only counted 1... or even 0.

the only "EYES" is in the last line. So count it or not.

Look, no offense meant (well, ok, maybe a little) -

You come in here with a riddle (all well and good so far)..
People have a crack at it (seems good still)...
You come up with a non-sensical answer which you won't explain (ok, now I'm mad)...

so, before further Flaming Nutter ensues... tell us the solution

What...?

How old are you? Here:

Roney's five-year-old snake is Roley. Every night Roley escapes. Roney worries and gets no shut-eye. Slimy Roley's eyes are yellow. He's golden-eyed and cockeyed. Roley easily sheds skin once yearly, thus Roley is [ecdysial?].

Ecdysial? Did you mean "ectypal", and why did you capitalize certain words. You think you're making us think hard, but it's pretty immature to give us a riddle that's not thought-out and calling it the hardest riddle in the world. That, and please give us more to it than "look at the words".

I counted around ten "eye"s unless you are going to be smart and say something like "You dumb-butts! There are no eyes in a bunch of words! ROFLMAO!!!!!!!111one I so got you all!!"
