Three women were changed into flowers which grew in a field. But one of them was allowed to be in her own home at night. Then once when day grew near, and she was forced to go back to her companions in the field and become a flower again, she said to her husband, "If you will come this afternoon and gather me, I shall be set free and henceforth, stay with you."

And he did so.

Now the question is, how did her husband know her, for the flowers were exactly alike and without any difference?
 
If I were him, I would've picked all three. So that's how I would've gotten her back.
 
I he picked all three mabye he could go home with three gals instead of one. Lucky man.

But seriously...did he watch to see if bees landed on the other flowers and went for the one that they hadn't? Since the other women seem to be stuck as flowers, it makes sense to me.
 
ahhh, you're both wrong. ;-)

LOL.... flowers have pistels not pussys.

And the idea of picking all three is a good one but then he would have killed the other 2 innocents.

No, but you are definately on the *almost* right track. ;-)
 
Did he go back with her in the wee hours of the morning and watch to see which one she turned into? And would it have killed the other two if he did pick them? The riddle doesn't say.

No, he does not go back with her to see where she is.

And yes, they would die because they are not allowed to leave the field like she is.
 
Let's see... she would have been having sex all night, so she would be satiated. Whereas the other two would still have been horny, and hence, wet. :D

(Okay, so the flowers would have collected dew overnight, but it sounded better that way.)

LMAO...... YOU WIN!!!!

It's all about being wet... :kiss:
 
The flowers that were there all night would have had dew on them. Depending on where they are, the dew doesn't burn off until midafternoon. (I'm in so far north, sometimes it doesn't burn off at all!) So he went in the early afternoon and looked for a dry flower?

She had no dew on her. ;-)

I just love riddles. Don't you?

Yes Ma'am, may I please have another?
 
Have you ever played The Cube game?

And if you have please don't spoil it for others. Also, if you would like to play, please don't google it. All the fun will be gone.

I will play and begin it, if anyone is interested...
