The Bo (though Kyndra called it Nanna)
Leica IIIc
Well, the smoker on the train has to blow his smoke down the toilet, because there's no smoking section on the electric train
Mt. Everest, unless you count something in the marianas trench... but you don't. I get the trick and that's the answer you're looking for.
He weighs iron to make sure he has the right amount for whatever tool he's building. He weighs gold to make sure he's getting paid the right amount (there's no cryptocurrency where he's from... no paper currency, either) He weighs wheat when he buys it from the miller. He weighs lots of things.

You got the Bo as well as the Nanna part? @nexusfyre should see this.. Hahaha.... was fun reading your answers @improv! Thank you for your participation! :)

Glad to play the game! Fun riddles!

  • Bo was the tree's name
  • the author owns a Leica IIIc
  • no smoke comes from electric train ;) (sneaky-sneaky)
  • Mount Everest was still the highest mountain & the undisputed king of the world
  • the blacksmith weighs metal ;)

Cheers!

That's the spirit! Thanks for your participation. :)

Excellent post my friend

Thank you! Look forward to your participation.

Haha, this is a really fun idea! Of course, I might be a little biased... Am I allowed to participate in the quiz as well? Cheers and good luck!

The R’leigh Bo
Leica IIIc
No steam from an electric train :P
Well. Depending on your point of view, Mt Everest would still be the highest…
Well, I would guess around 325 lbs. BUT, given the pattern from the previous questions, probably a trick of words…What does he weigh? I dunno? Maybe horseshoes? Steel? Let's go with steel.

My friend @nexusfyre... I just saw this.. thanks for participating! :)

Thanks so much for the good luck wishes. :) Lol! @nexusfyre, of course, you can participate. You will get an honorary mention when you win. :P
