The quicksilver in a thermomiter? I am bad at spelling.

I scream you scream we all scream for MELTING ICE CREAM?

A Kettle + Steam = scream, but steam RISES and a kettle weighs more than a feather.

Quicksilver is spelled correctly afaik, but it's not the answer to my question

Hint: technically spoken it's not the thing I'm looking for itself that 'screams'... It's more some sort of result of it that makes it sound as if 'screams'. In fact, the 'scream' and it are usually considered brothers, not the same

Heheh, I'm feeling I'm confusing you all even more

I remember the first time I saw the puzzle I was absolutely stumped. However, I now know how it works and yeah, Baudin's got it.

Tell me then, what's the next number in this sequence?

12, 13, 14, 21, 100, ?

It has been proven beyond all reasonable doubt that the most powerful force on Wu is a bunch of messed-up Malazans with Moranth munitions.

It was a lightning bolt indeed! (sry for my late check-in).
So Sir Thursday won, but he sort of already placed a new riddle, so sure :harhar:

Never mind. Wiki came to my rescue

Base Numeral system
2 binary 1001
3 ternary 100
4 quaternary 21
5 quinary 14
6 senary 13
7 septenary 12
8 octal 11
9 novenary 10
over 9 (decimal, hexadecimal) 9

So the next number is a 1001. Was not sure about some of the systems

cause..hello? why is there not an active riddle whenever I get on man :harhar:

the answer to the interim riddle is as follows, just like what Baudin says, but here is an explanation

1113213211 After the first line, each line describes the previous line:

One One
Two Ones
One Two, One One
(and so on...)

I'm just going to take its word for it

While we are waiting for cause to destroy our brain cells, have some of this:

Interim riddle 2 (or so)

What English word retains the same pronunciation, even after you take away four of its five letters?

eeeee? Cant think of the answer but Im sure it must be a single letter.

Looked up one again. Cant recall any good ones at the moment

Think of words ending in -GRY. Angry and hungry are two of them. There are only three words in the English language. What is the third word? The word is something that everyone uses every day. If you have listened carefully, I have already told you what it is.
