This is a riddle that my boss told everyone today, and nobody was able to figure it out. He said it took another store 6 months to figure it out.

The riddle is: What's one and one?
Clue: It's two words.



I win free lunch if I get it right, so please help me out! I'm poor.

"You're fired."
Actually... here's my guess:
One and one are two words.
...maybe?
...I'unno.

What's "One and one", the word count always starts after "what is".

So it'd be "Three words?" I mean, yeah, that makes sense, unless he's not counting conjunctions...

The words are ONE and ONE.  It could have been "What's square and round?", and the answer can be that they are two words.

You always count conjunctions, every word riddle does it, but this is no word riddle.

I hate riddles, I won't be able to sleep thanks to this.

Two Ones
Two Numbers

To be honest, the clue is to vague.  When one can come to multiple answers, it is a shitty riddle.

A good riddle is the one that has one answer.

Yeah this is why I hate most riddles I hear (many logic riddles are like this) because you can find a totally viable solution to the problem, but the person is like "Nooope, that's not the answer I'm looking for, keep trying."

if its your boss its probably something stupid with humor only a boss could have that everyone else has to pretend to laugh at.

Id say maybe Won and One, those are two words. We need batman on the case for this mystery.

This is the answer:

Fuck You!

You'll get fired, but that's because he'll be jealous of your knowledge. And you'll look awesome infront of your co-workers.

You sure he didn't mean won and one? "First place" would be a good answer if that was the case.

It's not 2 or 11, people guessed that many times.


And if we ever figure it out, I'll post it here.
