1. If yesterday had been Wednesday's tomorrow and tomorrow is Sunday's yesterday, what day would today be?
2. I am the center of gravity, hold a capital situation in Vienna, and as I am foremost in every victory, am allowed by all to be invaluable. Though I am invisible, I am clearly seen in the midst of a river. I could name three who are in love with me and have three associates in vice. It is vain that you seek me for I have long been in heaven yet even now lie embalmed in the grave. What am I?
3. This is an unusual day, and so is this paragraph. How quickly can you find out what is so uncommon about it? It looks so ordinary that you may think nothing is odd about it until you match it with most paragraphs this long. If you put your mind to it, and study it, you will find out, but nobody may assist you. Do it without any coaching. Go to work and try your skill at figuring it out. Par on it is about half an hour. Good Luck!
Answers on a postcard please and mail to Cobra {sfx}

A MohAA riddle for you i just thought up...
I am small and dead yet can be live, one side will like me, the other will hate me, i am neither your friend nor your enemy, but a server setting can change all that, for you would surely die were you to meet me, i can fly distances, bounce or roll.
What am i
What is that server setting?
Usual postcard blah applies

Riddle 3
1. A long, long time ago, two Egyptian camel drivers were fighting for the hand of the daughter of the sheik of Abbudzjabbu. The sheik, who liked neither of these men to become the future husband of his daughter, came up with a clever plan: a race would determine who of the two men would be allowed to marry his daughter. And so the sheik organized a camel race. Both camel drivers had to travel from Cairo to Abbudzjabbu, and the one whose camel would arrive last in Abbudzjabbu, would be allowed to marry the sheik's daughter.
The two camel drivers, realizing that this could become a rather lengthy expedition, finally decided to consult the Wise Man of their village. Arrived there, they explained him the situation, upon which the Wise Man raised his cane and spoke four wise words. Relieved, the two camel drivers left his tent: they were ready for the contest!
The Question: Which 4 wise words did the Wise Man speak?
2. My life can be measured in hours, I serve by being devoured.
Thin, I am quick Fat, I am slow Wind is my foe. What am i?
3. A worm is at the bottom of a forty foot hole. It can crawl upwards at the rate of four feet in one day, but at night, it slips back three feet. At this rate, how long will it take the worm to crawl out of the hole?
4. What is unique about this sentence...
Was it a rat i saw
Answers:
1: Take each others camel
2: candle
3: 37 hrs
4. it can be read backwards
1 point each Briggsy and Steve
