Riddle 1)If you were running a race, and you passed the person in 2nd place, what place would you be in now?

Riddle 2)George, Helen, and Steve are drinking coffee.
Bert, Karen, and Dave are drinking soda.
Using logic, is Elizabeth drinking coffee or soda?

Riddle 3)Which state is surrounded by the most water?

1. 2nd place of course

2. Elizabeth has to be drinking soda (i really don't know)

3. i think alaska or florida has to have more coastal area than hawaii

I'm pretty sure alaska does- look at tall the little nooks and crannies it has on the shore.

To change the question a little- which CONTINENT has the greatest shore line? This one suprises most...

1)You would be in 2nd. You thought first place, huh? Well, you passed the guy in second place, not first.



2)Elizabeth is drinking coffee. The letter E appears twice in her name, as it does in the names of the others that are drinking coffee.



3)Hawaii

If its surrounded it has to have water on all sides like an island

Good point- its all in the wording I guess. But, if it did say most coastline... then Alaska.

Keep guessing with the continents... there's only a few to pick from so it shouldn't be that tough!

I'm gonna guess that North America has the greatest shore line since you said is surprises the most.
