How come u win ALL the time???LOL


Language Study : The key is the word "succeed". It has 2 meanings:
1) to surpass or win somebody;
2) to follow someone as the next person

So who came after the 1st Prime Minister of Australia?

The 2nd Prime Minister!

...

why is this a riddle at all?

naughtybaby

Good qustion

Well, the reason for them being termed as RIDDLES is because that in general, these are Questions of GUESSING games in form of ordinary riddles, though they may actually appear like tricky-tricks

I intended to encourage more ppl to get to know some of the English usages through a fun way, and that's why I pointed out "language study" each and every time
