Re: Riddles
Do this quick, mentally!
Two numbers.
Add them, you get 110, subtract, its 10.
Now honestly answer in less than 10 seconds, or don't at all.

And don't ask me why.

Four & two in binary; 100+10=110 & 100-10=10

The proof in that comment can be illustrated by reading his last riddle.........boy!!! You talk about a tough one, I've been racking by brain for some time now with absolutely no luck.....................You are the man Turtle, you are the man......................Infy

You are too kind Gentlemen!  The only bowing going on in my presence however is by those stooping to get down to my level.
Here's the current riddle again & it's a stumper indeed! No further clues!  Yet.

This is as close as I can come Turtle:
A man, a plan, a canal: Panama
I can see where a plan fits 'something promised', and a canal fits 'something given' but a man doesn't fit 'something done'. Sooooooooooo, maybe it's time for a little hint, whaduya think??????

Well thought Sir Infy! You sure know how to get a clue from me with a well thought incorrect answer I'll say.  Very well...here it is: the palindromic term that is the answer to the riddle is a single word of fewer than  ...twelve letters.

My dear friend, I'm a little ashamed that I asked you for that hint because I think I was making the answer too hard. Is the answer?.............
