[Chas]

A coffin ?

Well done, that's it Shayne.

 

[Chas]

If you have me, you want to share me. If youshare me, you haven't got me. What am I?

1st Jan?

I've forgotten the question...

 

[Shayne]

A secret

 

[Chas]

A secret

Right again Shayne.

 

[Chas]

I have streets but no pavement, I have cities but no buildings, I have forests but no trees, I have rivers yet no water. What am I?

 

[Shayne]

A map

1st Jan?

Yes!

If you worked that out yourself Chas, you get a prize. I struggled with that and couldn't drop on the answer.

Today is the 1st January, and Cristina's 8th birthday was 31 December (yesterday) making her 7 the day before. Therefore, she will be 9 at the end of this year, and thus 10 next year.

 

[Chas]

A map

Shayne you're too good for me I'll have to find some harder ones.

 

[Chas]

I can be as small as an ant and big as a whale,
I can soar through the air like a bird with a tail.
I can be seen by day and not by night,
I can be seen with a big flash of light.
I follow whoever controls me by the sun, but I fade away when dark fell like a ton.
What am I?

 

[Shayne]

Talking to police today probably has my grey matter on code red high alert lest i drop myself in it somehow

A shadow ?

 

[Chas]

A shadow ?

Shayne you are just too good, I may have to give up.

OK one more

A container without hinges, key, or lid,
Yet golden treasure inside is hid. .

 

[Shayne]

My first thought is any kind of bag but it can't be that easy

 

[Chas]

Not a bag.

 

[MarkW]

purse or wallet

 

[Chas]

Not that either!

 

[Shayne]

Is it buried treasure making the earth itself a container ?

 

[Chas]

No Shayne it's not that.
