Puzzles-N-Riddles

Welcome to our Puzzles-N-Riddles section! If you think you know the answer to this months riddle or puzzle, then be the FIRST player to post the correct answer on the discussion board and Badger will have a GoldToken key chain pen just for you!

This Months Puzzles-N-Riddle is:

Question:

This is a most unusual paragraph. How quickly can you find out what is so unusual about it? It looks so ordinary that you would think that nothing is wrong with it at all, and, in fact, nothing is. But it is unusual. Why? If you study it and think about it, you may find out, but I am not going to assist you in any way. You must do it without any hints or coaching. No doubt, if you work at it for a bit, it will dawn on you. Who knows? Go to work and try your skill. Good luck!

What is the answer? (Remember to post your answers only on the discussion board!)

and everyone!

to last months winner: hexkid!!! WOOHOO!!!!

Testimonials Of The Month

The 14 of July of 2003, when I entered in the site for first time, I was a guest player. I really did not know how good the site was until I had the opportunity of being member for 6 months. It was really very sad because I could not make the payment of the membership by a problem with the credit card, until Handyman had the good gesture to adopt us, (me and my wife Ana). We are really enchanted with the site! I personally have many ideas to improve the site and I would like to help, (I am a programmer), but I do not know much of the language that the site uses to program.
