Yeah... if they're allowed to talk to each other, the answer's pretty simple. So I'm guessing they aren't. :/Originally Posted by Digger Walters
I wonder if the fact that they're near the sea means anything?

That kind old lady stopped the rain for us.
She said it would only make us cold, and miserable, and sick.
We thanked her and hugged her and she walked away smiling warmly.
I miss the puddles...

sorry was gone so long got stuck under a rock.
no the fact they are near the sea doesn't mean anything and they cannot communicate.
i will give you a clue because this is a hard riddle.
think from the point of view of each knight and what he would think every other knight would be able to see.
i will provide another riddle below.

OK. What seven-letter word (in English) becomes longer when you remove a letter?"You might very well think that; I couldn't possibly comment." -Francis Urquhart

Here's a riddle I came up with for an assignment in high school:
A knight goes to his king one day and says that his king must choose one of four paths for the knight. One path leads to death by fire, another to the gallows, on one an executioner prepares his axe, and on the last he would be drawn and quartered.
The knight and the king talk for some time, and at the end of it, the king orders him to be hanged.
Why?
*The use of "path" is entirely metaphorical.

Four metaphorical paths for a knight...
I presume we're discussing a chess game, and a hanging knight is often preferable to a straight sacrifice.

No, the situation is literal, the use of "paths" is not. Originally Posted by Gnerphk

*sigh* Too bad. 'Cause I could see some chess positions there; struck me as a King's Gambit Accepted variation.
Hmm... then, a clarification, because I'm stumped: The knight began the interview?"You might very well think that; I couldn't possibly comment." -Francis Urquhart
