I've been testing these on my husband and this is the only one he couldn't get. What if I were to tell you, a joke and a whip also fit the category.......ok, ready? They can all be cracked.#2: Liz P (lizteach) on Mar 13, 2011 [SPOILER]
Is the first a gum ball machine? I got the safe and the egg.#3: Carol Brand (KarylAnn) on Mar 13, 2011
Exactly, Liz!#4: bugaboo (bugaboo) on Mar 15, 2011 [SPOILER]
the last thing is an egg???#5: Carol Brand (KarylAnn) on Mar 16, 2011 [SPOILER]
wow i thought it was a keyhole
haha
the gumball machine was very fun to solve
Thanks bugaboo. I know.... the egg was hard to draw because it's white. So I put it in an eggcup. Isn't it funny that Liz got the safe and the egg but not the gumball machine!#6: Teresa K (fasstar) on Mar 25, 2011 [SPOILER]
Nicely done! I didn't guess the riddle, as I never thought of a gum-ball machine as getting cracked. I like how you portrayed the egg. And I really enjoyed solving the gum-ball machine. The color logic was tricky but I did not have to guess.#7: Carol Brand (KarylAnn) on Mar 25, 2011 [SPOILER]
Thanks Teresa! It's gum that you crack...not the gum ball machine. Gum cracking is when you pop bubble in your mouth while chewing the gum...a most annoying sound as far as I am concerned.#8: Teresa K (fasstar) on Mar 25, 2011
Oh yeah! Duh.#9: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Nov 3, 2011 [SPOILER]
I thought the third thing was an hourglass; completely stumped! I've heard of snapping your gum, but not cracking... Oh well. :)
