I invented a fun little brain teaser. I’ve come up with 8 reasons why a house cat and hot sauce go together. Let’s see how many you can discover without looking at hints 😼

Hint #1

My wording was carefully chosen to sound silly. This is because I want you to enjoy yourself. But it is also to trick you so you don’t realize this is a legitimate puzzle with an objective answer. Take a few days to ponder it. Don’t give up!

Hint #2

Why didn’t I say there are 3 reasons? or 12? Why does this riddle require exactly 8?

Hint #3

Why did I say house cat? No one talks like that. A normal person would have just said cat.

Hint #4

Hint #5

Hint #6

Hint #7

Hint #8

Hint #9

Hint #10

Hint #11

Solution

The 8 letters used to spell house cat are the same 8 letters used to spell hot sauce; they are anagrams!

We all love abbreviations, right? But I’ve noticed one that behaves rather strangely. Most abbreviations in English are created by truncating the end of the word. Some languages remove the beginning instead. But this fascinating abbreviation does both and only keeps the middle. Not only that, but it does something else very bizarre. Since we are trying to shorten the word, removing letters in our goal. While this oddball does remove some letters, it also adds a completely new letter that is not even in the original word. Are you cool enough to figure out which abbreviation I’m referring to?

Hint #1

If you’re stuck, it might help if you take a break and go get a snack.

Hint #2

Hint #3

Solution

You must add the letter d to shorten refrigerator to fridge.

I understand this was not an easy book. For you to have completed it is a meaningful achievement. To celebrate your victory, I wanted to leave you one final message. It describes, not only how I feel about you, but also how you should feel about yourself. I hid this secret inside the book. To find it, you must first go to the beginning of each chapter and look for the sentence “Thank you, parents, for this _____ snack.” Make a list of all the different adjectives in the blank. Then use the first letter of each word to spell out my hidden message!
