Mr. Punch's Puzzles: The Riddle of the Week





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...


What is that of which the common sort is best?



And, the answer is...

Common Sense

which also happened to be today's chapter title.  I think you all gave some very funny and/or intelligent answers today.  It's difficult to single out anyone in particular.  We will see you soon for another of Mr. Punch's Puzzles.
