[THECORBYLOON]

£3.99?

[nescio]

Oh no!
Not this again! :-)

[douglas9401]

Same answer as always, an okapi.

[aelmpvw]

could you parse please douglas?

[bobbinwales]

You got the wording wrong, no wonder we cant make sense of it.

It should of said "If it takes a man a week to walk a fortnight how many apples are in a barrel of grapes ?

[brainiac]

You joined Answerbank just to ask this?

[ToraToraTora]

42?

[johnny.5]

As many as red herrings
that grow in the wood.

Am I Right ?
I'm Not Wrong !

[Llanfair]

Are you serious, bobbinwales? The first part is deliberately nonsensical to mislead away from the second part, which Danny has answered perfectly.

[bobbinwales]

Yes am very serious Llanfair. The question as worded was nonsense but with my slight tweak the answer becomes obvious. The answer is clearly a bus. If you dont get it dont worry, there will be another one along in 20 minutes

Its like its partner "How long is a piece of string?"

[Mamyalynne]

That's an easier one - twice half it's length.

//"How long is a piece of string?"//
A mate of mine use to get his riddles/expressions confused by asking "Hau Hi's a chinaman" instead.
