Re: Riddles

I made up the following riddle at the beginning of September, 2005

What is the difference between Alzheimer's Disease and ... damn! I forgot
it again!



My Uncle was in hospital with Alzheimer's disease and when I went to
see him I took a huge bunch of forget-me-nots, but they didn't help.

Re: Riddles

Strictly, it should be written 9^(9^9) (or 9!^(9!^9!) or whatever) but it makes sense to suppose the parenthesis because (9^9)^9 = 9^(9*9).

All right Buffy, I was looking for another answer but I'll accept the one you gave too. BTW, Here is the answer I was looking for: "Pay him for the pizza".

Huh? Why would he be working as a pizza delivery guy? Do you know how much these guys get paid by the USC alumni association? OOopps! The NCAA might be watching!

Go Bruins!
