I have seven, and the seven each have four
Which is how I got my name, and glory galore.
Just try to destroy 10 in one sudden sortie,
Or for a bonus, try getting rid of 40.
When they are low you need not worry,
But when they get high then you've got to hurry!
The end will come when no more can enter--
Try it again and see if you're better!


What is it? Post the answer, in invisible of course, or if you prefer, you can add more stanzas to the riddle of you want to keep it a secret.

Sometimes life gives you a deck without any aces. Deal with it.

I've been racking my poor ursine brain all day on this one... seven... Continents in the world? days of the week? Deadly sins? Wonders of the world? I do know one thing, if this has to do with Pokemon, I'm going to cry...

Too easy. Though really, I'm surprised.

I wouldn't have thought that this was still interesting to anybody.

Born inside a Russian computer,
with no need for a silly shooter.
I've had my shapes and colors messed,
but the original is still the best!

That's it. Not a very hard one, but nice.

The straight ones can be your best friends
Cubes often lead to bitter ends
Make good use of the hockey sticks
In all your geometric tricks.

Too much can yield depravity
It's based on simple gravity
So thank you, comrades (you too, Newton)
My NES I'll be a-bootin'.

I cloned this when I was 23
For my good old IBM PC
My time code was shonky
It now plays all wonky
Moore's law got the better of me

traveling straight down
‘else a or b shall turn us
to make us all fit

resting on others
in patterns of four we sit
safe ‘till row’s complete

One, two, the pieces are few.
Three, four, but then you get more.
Five, six, you'll be in a fix.
Seven, eight, but you play the straight.
Nine, ten, then do it again!
