Sorceress Thaegan gulps her favorite food

In her cave with all of her brood

And the names of her children are

Hot, Tot, Jin, Jod,

Fie, Fly, Zan, Zod,

Pik, Snik, Lun, Lod

And, of course, the dreaded Ichabod.

Each child holds a slimy toad.

On each toad squirm two fat grubs.

On each grub ride two fleas brave.

Here's my riddle, so beware.

Answer this riddle now, if you dare!

How many things are living in Thaegan’s cave?

[EgoReaper 9]

13 Children, each with 1 toad (dead or alive is unstated) each toad has 2 grubs(squirming so alive) each grub has 2 fleas riding them (implying alive)

13 children + 13x2 grubs + 13x2x2 fleas + 1 sorceress = 92 provided the toads are dead

92 + 13 toads = 105 provided they are alive.

This one is tricky as there is no context.

But i'll say 106... counting Thaegan's favorite food which was gulped down. In the story its a live Raven.

Yay! I thought I was the only one that read "The Lake of Tears"...but anyway...

Decollate me and all becomes equal. Truncate my remains and I become a second. Cut me back and front and I am two less than I started.

What am I? and explain my metamorphosis.

Tommy and Timmy are hole diggers. In an hour, they can dig 3 holes. How long would it take Tommy and Timmy to dig 17 and a half holes?

[Rakupenda 15]

Tommy and Timmy are hole diggers. In an hour, they can dig 3 holes. How long would it take Tommy and Timmy to dig 17 and a half holes?

They can dig three holes each or three holes combined?

 

Each: 2.917 hours

Combined: 5.833 hours

[schnickelphrits 0]

3 holes combined. EIther way, incorrect :(

[airacaz 1]

you cannot dig half a hole you either dig 18 or 17 so you would round up to 18 therefore it would take 6 hours but if you specifically want to dig 17.5 holes it is impossible
