Letter Logic
Trick brain teasers appear difficult at first, but they have a trick that makes them really easy.
I am a letter.
I am in talk, and in stop,
I am in tickle, and in tackle,
I am in bullet, and kite,
I am in poster, and in tear,
I am in torn, and in fear,
I am in tick, and in stock,
I am in tulip, but I'm also in by.
What am I?
HintYou need help? Okay, here you go.
Don't think about what I didn't ask.

Answer
I am a letter, I didn't ask which one.

| I don't comment too often on the teasers, but knowing it was a trick, I tried to figure this out. Obviously at first, everyone probably thought it was "T" but of course, this was a trick..Good job! |

| But there is no one letter that is in all of those words... so the answer is wrong even though it doesn't specify which one. There are only 26 letters and the answer cannot be any one of them, so it cannot be a letter... |

Jan 02, 2008
| To leftclick, there is "a letter" in all the words mentioned - actually several letters. It says 'I am a letter', not 'I am a specific letter'.  |

| Got it,but why are we subjected to so many repeats when so many good ones are not accepted.  |
rbasch
Jan 02, 2008
| I thought it was either a vowel or a consonant (leaning more toward the latter because of "by", and the fact that some people don't consider "y" a vowel). Anyway, I think that is just as valid as "any letter". |

| Forgive me but I have to agree with leftclick. This seems flawed. Even if you did not specify which letter, you did specify 1 letter and since no 1 letter satisfies the answer I don't think this works. Anyway, I'm relatively new to this and am not brave enough to try myself but that is my 2 cents for what it is worth. |

| I agree! It didn't make any sense! I think it may have been a bit too tricky ! Perhaps you should pay a little more attention to the last part of the title:logic! Nice attempt though! |

| Stop complaining; the teaser makes perfect sense. The first line of the teaser is the answer. Just because your mind was thinking of a specific letter doesn't mean it ever asked for one. |
nikapooh
Jan 02, 2008
| To the people complaining the question was what am I?. The first lines says I am a letter. Its a trick riddle and a good one at that. Kinda like the test they give you in school that says read the entire test before answering and the last instruction says write your name at the top and turn it in. You wanted to find a letter that was in all those words because its logical to do so but you only had to answer What am I. |

| I liked this one a lot. It's like the thing we did as kids. You ask a friend, "Do you want to take the idiot test?" Then you ask a series of really easy questions and then ask them to tell you the first question you asked them. That question, of course, was "Do you want to take the idiot test?" Most kids get it wrong and it's a lot of fun for 10 year olds! |

| Gosh I got it right. At first I thought it was T until I hit fear. Then I read the tittle again. There it was. Thanks for the teaser. It was delicious.

| at first i thought it was "t" but then you did some words w/o a "t" so i was sorta confused but then i figured it out....great riddle it was fun! |
Araglas
Jan 02, 2008
| Thank-you nikapooh. I get it now. I did not register what the question was. And thank-you tommysmo for the assist! However to the person who said "stop complaining", if we don't express our lack of understanding, how will we be helped to see? |

Jan 02, 2008
| At first, I was like "t!" but then saw "by". Loved it! Going in my faves! And extra points for originality! |

Jan 02, 2008
| haha, brilliant.
i thought it was the letter "i" or "n",being that ever line started with "i am IN", therefore the letter couldve been either, but this answer is clever. |

| Awesome!!!
I too thought it was the letter T until fear....I had to read the hint, but I got this one right!
Thanks for the great teaser and keep more like it coming! |

Jan 07, 2008
| look at the frakkin category lol |
wandering_goat
Jan 07, 2008
| Oh yeah, and for those people saying that it didn't ask you to specify which one, it doesn't matter, since the definitions of itself that were given eliminate it from being any single letter, as it states that it is. Thus, I would say that whatever "it" is, it's most certaintly NOT a letter, or that the criteria given were incorrect; either way, there's a contradiction somewhere. And yeah, I'm being pedantic because brain teasers are supposed to make sense. |

| The answer fits, but it wasn't very clever. This should have been put under "Bad Joke". I'm sorry, but it's kind of a waste of time. |

| I was thinking than i hit ANSWER and before i scrolled down i thought for one more second and thought in my head 'you smuck Basterd' and i went down and saw the answer and said I KNEW IT!!!! lol great one |

| The teaser is definitely not flawed.
Think about these three things:
1. It does not say 'I am one of the 26 letters found in the English alphabet.' You assume that from 'I am a letter,' but letter could mean something else. Maybe it's a handwritten note.
2. It does not say 'I am one of the letters used to write the word fear.' You assume that from 'I am in fear,' but maybe the letter is just afraid.
3. Nowhere, anywhere, does it use the word 'English.' Maybe in Russian, or German, or Chinese, or whatever else, all of those words share a letter.
What this teaser does is, it uses your brain-teaser-thinking against you. You assume what the riddle implies, and therefore ignore the fact that it's already given you the answer.
GREAT teaser. |

| very clever, but by that logic it cannot exist
you can be a letter, but no matter which one you are only a single letter, and no single letter is in all of those words
so if all clues don't apply at the same time this is impossible or else not all statements are true |
