Daily Brain Teaser for Nov 20, 2024
Gift to Epimethius
I had a mistress, with beauty and grace,
With a curious hand and fair of face.
She was the first on earth, and made of clay.
I was a gift to Epimethius on their wedding day.
The Gods, they warned her to let me be.
But none of their warnings did she heed.
You see, my mistress was alone one day,
When to me her inquisitive hand did stray.
She gave you sickness, destruction, and greed,
And all of the things from which evil does feed.
But do not be angry, do not mope.
The last she gave you? It was hope.
What am I and who was my mistress?

How Many Campers?
Camp Pineveiw's cook, Margaret Johnson, was just about to begin preparing the picnic lunch for all the campers.

2. Every two campers will get one bowl of spaghetti to share.
3. Every three campers will get one bowl of salad to share.
4. All campers are required to have their own helping of salad, spaghetti, and soup.

A Roaring Call
I run forever,
With a roaring call.
Yet I have no throat,
Or any legs at all.

Whilst I grow.
You try to race me,
And receive a blow.
