[Pentire]

Riddle : Two men walk along the beach; who gets there first?

[bobbinwales]

do you know the 'answer' pentire?
Is it in a quiz.... if so is thee a theme

[Pentire]

The answer to all three of your questions is “no”.

[bobbinwales]

I know why they'll never starve...because of the sand which is there.

sorry, this one dosn't make any sense

[Neveracrossword]

I don't understand the question, the riddle. If they're walking 'along the beach', where is the 'there' they're getting to?

[bhg481]

I'm wondering if it's a verbal riddle and it should be "their first". It still doesn't help me.

[barry1010]

Their wives get their first, they are driving along the road in a car.

[bobbinwales]

neither. something to do with tied/tide?

[FoxLee2]

Is who the name of one of the men?

[bobbinwales]

I wonder if the answer is something like" It was Sandy"

[bobbinwales]

or "was it Sandy?"

[bobbinwales]

whatcha think pentire??

[elliemay1]

It's probably that one of them was called Who, so he got there first

[Patsy33]

At the same time?
They were conjoined twins.

[FoxLee2]

Great minds think alike elliemay1

[bobbinwales]

Did these help pentire??

[1581960]

If one was called Who, then it would be a statement rather than a question. Note the ?

[bobbinwales]

I agree the answer isnt Who, how many people are called Who? (Maybe sounds like High?) The sentence wouldnt make sense... gets where first??? And why a beach? I still think the answers something like "was it Sandy?" or "its Sandy/Andy"

[bobbinwales]

^hugh not High!

[1581960]

Having pondered over this I reckon 'Neither' is perhaps the best answer.

[bobbinwales]

Hi... can you explain how 'Neither' works please?
