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...
And, the answer is...
SEVEN.
If you take the head off of "Seven," the head being "S," that spells "even." I'd also accept Eleven, Angelo, assuming that the head is "El." Many good answers today. Many came close. And, many--Darcy, Dashwood and others--were delightfully odd.
Come back next Friday for another of Mr. Punch's Puzzles.

Eight because seven eight nine. I know eight is an even number but I find it odd.
One hundred. Because even is 50/50.
Very smart.
Eleven.
I'm sure you have your reasons.
If you cut the head off of ten it's zero.
If you insist.
One. Because then it's any.
Clever.
Louis XV I was a pretty odd number in some ways. The French people got even with him.
Ha! Very good!
Bo Peep,a sheep and some shears. She says that's the best way to get even.
Eleventy million. Who the heck knows?
Well put.
I'm stumped.
Me, too.
Marduk.
He IS an odd number.
