Wolfgang, thanks for a nice diversion, I generally like geometric puzzles better than word or number puzzles. I think my brain power is pretty much exhausted for the rest of this year though.

I was going to post some music riddles such as the Appalachian Riddle Song (I Gave My Love a Cherry) and also the three riddles from the opera Turandot (where the suitors lose their heads if they're wrong, and there is a beautiful aria, Nessun Dorma, played at soccer matches I hear), but the riddles really aren't that good. If you're interested, you can look 'em up. Meanwhile, I'm resting my brain.

Jon, I still like the "strawberries in the salt sea" words from I Once Loved a Lass.
