The Riddle Thread

Ok.... Probably been done before, but let's do it anyway

Basically it's simple rules, First person posts a "riddle" or somesuch, and someone answers it then poses a new one. As there tend to be a lot of crossovers in these threads, can we please try and follow the simple guidelines of:

Quote the riddle you're solving.
Don't post a new riddle unless you have, answered someone elses or there's no unanswered riddles

I'll start with an easy one:

9 + 9 = 12

What does 9 + 11 equal?

EDIT: It's a particular system

Killa_ken · 27 Jan 2007 at 18:46

14.5?

How does the do not walk on lawn sign get on the lawn?

Raikiri · 27 Jan 2007 at 18:46

...14?

(counting the letters up, nine plus nine is 12, nin plus eleven is 14)

You're both wrong

But thinking about it it's a harsh question if you don't have some grounding in computer knowledge

Don't post a new riddle unless you have, in the SAME post, answered someone elses.

With a needle and some thread, to sow a loop round the inside of the skin and when you get to where you started, pull it through the banana?
