    I am giving this one to HB.

    Actually the fruit in question was a 'Red Chilli Pepper', but it would be overly pedantic of me to deny you your victory. ;) Though the pedant in me says "There are no such things as pink chillis". :D

    So, the Red Chilli Pepper was the coral purse and its seeds the gold coins.

    My dear Kuemper, riddles are, by their nature, cryptic. Indeed, this is what gives them their innate riddleness ... :lol:

    Is a red chili pepper a fruit? I thought peppers were vegitables...

    [​IMG] I was tetched over a veggie being a fruit, until I looked up the definition of fruit .

    BTW, hurry up, southern hemisphere bird-boy! Gotta keep the game going! ;)

    How ridiculous. You said the fruit was pink and inedible. A chilli is neither of those things. Plus, that wasn't a riddle, it was just a dumb question that didn't mean anything. They must be really bored up there in Tibet. Not sure I'd be hurrying to see any Tibetan comedians if that is what passes for humour there.

    Hmm, another riddle? Here's an oldie: What can up a chimney down but can't go down a chimney up?

    Father Christmas?

    I did no such thing, I think you will find this to be Apathetic Empath's line of reasoning; Ironically, his chain of thoughts prompted your 'correct' answer.

    I can run but not walk. Wherever I go, thought follows close behind. What am I?

    What's black and white and red all over?

    NOTE: It's red, not read, so newspaper is incorrect. :p
