    That probably deserves a "rec." But I'm afraid you'll have to commit that one to memory, THUD.


    Hmm, I don't suppose 'friday' could really be a proper noun, given the small "f", so I'm stumped.

    You're putting WAAAAAY too much faith in the abilit of people to punctuate properly. For a start, neither of the sentences in the riddle starts with a capital letter. There's also no question mark at the end.

    I say Friday is the name of his horse.

    And spell correctly.

    I believe your answer is "officially" the correct one.

    Yes you can. You can check your post before submitting it. And failing that, there's the "Edit" option.

    This is a message board on a chess site, not the Declaration of Independence. I agree wholeheartedly that spelling, punctuation and so on are quite important for communication, but there's a payoff between accuracy and time management. I correct typographical errors when I see them, and I generally DO see them, but it's a mistake to think I'm going to scrupulously proofread everything. It simply isn't worth it.

    Um, back to the quiz. Does he burn the chair and set off a fire alarm?
