Haggisv, can you give a little hint? The last sentence troubles me, what do you mean by go higher?


Which direction does one go when you go 'higher'?



something that goes up that you can't see? hmmmmmm, tricky

It's a part of some table tennis bats. Some people will occasionally sniff it. Others would rather throw it out on the water. In some homes, I can run vertically or horizontally. Know what it is?

Is it a 'line'?

Paint thinner?

Is it a paint sheet, like the ones Jpen or Cpen would use on one side if they don't use that side to play with?


Nope, it is none of these. I can give you two hints--it's not liquid, and it comes from a tree.


Fiberglass???

Who/what am I

I can be your nemesis
Or I can be your friend
depending on which side of the table your on.
I know I've cost people plenty of games
But don't get upset
cause i might have won you a few too

I'm black or red,

Despite that, I'm still pretty young and new,
made in a hurry from the Dr's stew.

All my ancestors were dead before I was born,
but this was to your joy and nothing to mourn.

With out hitting the breaks I'm still pretty slow,
but nothing compared to my ancestors, you know.

Who/What am I?


Dr Neubauer's Boomerang Classic OX., I've checked it out, the speed is only 50 compared to 75 to the other legal LP in the Dr's web site.

Haggisv, did you see Jim's answer on page 4? I think he got it correctly.

Would the answer be the sponge under the rubber sheet?


Good guess, but not even close :mrgreen:

You got it right, Alex! Nice job! :D :D :D

Part of some table tennis bat (mine has cork in the handle)
Some people sniff it - the cork on a bottle of wine
Some people would rather throw it out on the water - a fishing cork (or "float")
Runs vertically or horizontally in homes - many floor and wall materials are made with cork

How many table tennis players (who use inverted rubber) does it take to replace a light bulb?


15 - one to hold the bulb, and 14 to sniff the newly applied --but now banned--glue on the back of those inverted sheets until the room spins around and around. :drunken:

No Alex, it was me who guessed the last one and Jim gave a hint that there is no way you can miss. Unfortunately, my quota was up last night, I can't provide the answer. :(

Still no correct answer to this, al though you are right that it is a Dr Neubauer rubber. Read it closely and remember that hints to the solution might be every where in the riddle.


It must be Dr Neubauer Monster Classic
