No, but a great answer, so you get honorary Australian citizenship

Sorry Aktungbby but no. Good answer though, also a philosophical minefield.

I don't know pidgin for no, so no, not Rolf. I think he's still in the nick and any painting he's doing is with his back to the wall.

Sorry but no. A likely scenario would be :- one bloke at the TAB putting bets on, one bloke doing a runner to the bottle shop for grog, the foreman at the site co-ordinating everything, and the poor apprentice doing all the work. But that's not the answer either.

Clue. Think in a PC way. Why should Australians be any different than any other nationality?

There, I've almost given the answer

Eichhörnchen · 08-05-17, 01:29 AM

I was going to say "None, because they'd get a woman to do it"... but you didn't say "Australian men". So maybe "None, because they'd get (another nationality person) to do it"

They can do it standing on their head.

No. Come on guys, what if you was to substitute another nationality ( not racial stereotype ) for "Australian" and then compare both nationalities as equals.

They can. But not the right answer. And the beer would fall out

I'm not going there...

Something to do with Poms or Aboriginals?

No, but thanks for persevering.

The answer has everything to do with equality and numbers!

Well I'm beat

Wonder if I or we should add a third rule- How long time an unsolved riddle should be unsolved- 2 days, 3 days or more ? What do you say ?

My thought is-If a riddle haven't been solved after x-days, not even after the host of the riddle have given 3 hints, the host tell us the solution to his or her riddle AND thereafter it's open for everyone to post a riddle.

Just a thought
