    Re: Quran Riddle

    No offence, but they're a bit of a giveaway. For example, 'What is 5 but not 6' obviously means there's five of them thus making the 6 redundant, and in the Quranic context it's evidently salah.

    But um, nice post.

    I think it's emphasis on 5 but NEVER 6.

    So, saying breakfast is once but never twice would be wrong, because some people (i.e. me) have two breakfasts.

    I was just curious if anyone else had heard these or knew the remaining 81 I didn't list.

    I understand that. Still, it's a little bit formulaic. Look, I'll make one:

    What is 99, but not 100?

    -The names of Allah

    What is two, but not three?

    -My eyes

    What is one, but not two?

    -My nose



    Maybe if we can mix 'em up a bit it'll be more entertaining.
