Once, again, Mr. Punch, with my help, is offering up a true Victorian riddle. The first person to answer correctly--by posting in the comments--will receive public congratulations.
So, here's this week's riddle. We ask that you don't Google the answer. Mr. Punch would not find that sporting at all. Give it a shot and see what you can come up with. Here we go... No cheating...
Black
within, and red without,
Four corners round about.
And, the answer is...
A CHIMNEY!
Ha! Wonderful. We had some very good answers today. Mr. Punch is pleased. You may proceed to your holiday cheer.
Come back next Friday for another of Mr. Punch's Puzzles.
