Perfect Lines
Riddles are little poems or phrases that pose a question that needs answering. Riddles frequently rhyme, but this is not a requirement.
The following letters represent terms used in a particular sport, and some relations involving these terms are shown:
S = 10
2S = D
3D = 2T
1 1/3 T + 2 1/2 D + 3S = 300
Question: What is T ?
HintAnswer this riddle before the clock strikes 12 while your bowl of cereal is still hot.

Answer
T is a Turkey ( 3 strikes in bowling).
D is a double ( 2 strikes)
12 consecutive strikes in bowling is a perfect game of 300.

| Thanks for accepting this teaser. But the introduction was not mine. It surely made the "teaser" a give-away. Anyways, thanks. |

| Thanks again Tangerine. !2 refers to the 12 consecutive strikes a bowler needs for a perfect game. Bowl of cereal? the bowl...ing. Thanks again. |
