Correctomundo Karnuvap, Hermes is right and you did not have much to go
on as I did not have many clues.

Re: Riddles

Thanks - but it was a shot in the dark because I am not sure why you'd find his statues in stores?

16.6666, 33 1/3, 45, ??

And, no, William - sorry but 90 is not the next number.
I'm going to have to get with the program, i used to have a record player with those speeds, I didn't see this riddle till it was too late!

We are two pyramids in Egypt *
One is made from red bricks the other of stone *
Their are three others just like us that are very famous in Egypt *
You know what we are but do you know what they call us *

What is our names ??

Since there are many pyramids here are some clues.

1. One of these pyramids was built by the same pharoe that built one of
the three big great pyramids. I think that his name was sanapolis ?
2. One of these pyramids has an odd shape and seems to be bent and is
named for its odd shape.
3. One of these pyramids appears bright red in color, being made from bricks
and is named for its color.

You are CORRECT Pamela.

The pyramids are THE BENT PYRAMID and THE RED PYRAMID.

I saw in a documentary that the red pyramid also had another nick name
and called by some people The Red Sea Pyramid as it was thought that the
bricks were made from the area around the Red Sea. Don't know if this is
true as I did not research it.

I hope to visit the big three pyramids before I die as this accomplishment
still amazes me and I think is one of the seven wonders of the world.
