    No, there is an answer. But no extra fish, no polygamy (seriously, what an imagination). So I'll leave it up for awhile longer. Good to see no-one has cheated. :) Read it in different ways, try to see what the spin is.

    Yes, you've got it. So there is the grandfather, (who is a father), then his son, and that son's son. Three generations. Three fish.
    Enjoy your 29 bullets, Darkbringer.


    Riddle #7: Name me and so shall you break me.

    (Quite an easy one).

    Got it, the answer is secrets.
    When you say a secret it isn't a secret anymore.

    I answered twice before, so I guess it's possible.

    Hmm... very interesting. It's not the answer, because what if there is no-one to hear the secret? But very very close! 5 bullets just for the excellent guess.

    And yes, multiple guesses are allowed, but no spamming, and no double posts. One answer per post.

    Well, I guess so. You can ask the next riddle, after someone answers this one. They're getting really close, so it shouldn't be too far away. Also, don't give 'em easy ones! :)

    So we're still on Riddle #7: Name me and so shall you break me.

    goddamn! I was just about to write that!

    Riddle #8:

    Con bianchi destrieri,
    su un colle rosso
    stanno i bianchi cavalieri
    mordono, tagliano, scalpitano..
    ..eppur non si muovono..
    ..Chi sono?

    With white mounts,
    on a red mound
    stand the white knights
    biting,cutting and pawing...
    ...although not moving...
    Who are them?
