I was on my way to Burlington when I was forty men with forty wives, all of whom had forty horse and forty bags. How many were going to Burlington?

I think the answer is. I heard this before.

Then be the first to say it!

Oh, oops. I didn't see the first part of the your answer. Nope. Not forty. The clue is given in the first half of the first sentence.

I was right wasn't I?

Nope. I made another post after the one that says "be the first to say it", because I missed the part of your post with the answer.

The clue is given in the first half of the first sentence.

The reflection other people can see in your eyes?

Petrie · **Reply #14 on:** November 07, 2004, 09:40:01 PM

^ I agree with either one of those answers.

WeirdRaptor · **Reply #15 on:** November 08, 2004, 04:52:28 AM

I'll go along with the other guesses, too, as I have no other lead.

Littlefoot1616 · **Reply #16 on:** November 09, 2004, 11:12:27 AM

Nope, nope and....guess what... NO!!!

Keep guessin'!

Malte279 · **Reply #17 on:** November 09, 2004, 12:16:20 PM

This word, reflection, has a double meaning. Reflection can also describe a long and careful consideration, which of course is nothing anyone could see. Is this what the riddle is about Jason?

WeirdRaptor · **Reply #18 on:** November 09, 2004, 11:40:32 PM

Reflecting on oneself, perhaps.

Hee hee...gotta ya in a tangle? I'll help you out a bit...

It's nothing spiritual, moral nor psychological... (i.e. reflection upon one's self is out the window...)
You can't SEE it (hence the riddle...a reflection you CANNOT see) but it can be sensed...
It's intangible (in otherwords, you can't physically touch it)...
It DOES actually exist but only in certain places...

Have another bash and I'll drop more clues if you need them...
