I have one, you have one.
If you remove the first letter, a bit remains.
If you remove the second, bit still remains.

Qrystal Aug 31, 2006	definitely an awesome teaser! I got it, though I wasn't sure I would when I read through it the first three or so times... like others said, working backwards (it by bit by abit more? ) helped. I rated this "fun" and "medium hard". I think I giggled when I got the answer, because I knew it was right and it was exciting to see it confirmed!! Goodday, goodday...
Qrystal Aug 31, 2006	AND I just realized -- this is the first riddle I've ever gotten!! WOOHOOO!!!
avonma Aug 18, 2009	I couldn't think of anything that ended with "bit." I guess I didn't work on it long enough. It was a good one, though!
jimbooth019 Aug 19, 2009	Great riddle. At first I was thinking heart, then i realized 'it' needed to remain, then I realized each line gave the remaining letters, so I worked backwards. it-bit-a bit-? Everyone has one...

makani Aug 20, 2012	Nice teaser. At first I thought they were the letters in your name, when you get rid of the first letter there's a bit of you left.
thecatladycac Aug 21, 2012	I got hung up on "a bit" and then "bit" and had to read it several times before it finally soaked in! But when I finally got it, I thought "What a great teaser!"
TheWhizKid Aug 21, 2012	Awesome teaser!!! I couldn't get it though. Keep up your 'habit' of good teasers!!!!
