June Riddles – Themes: Food Court Hunt.
The answers are signs found in a typical food court. Example; nasi lemak (9 letters), mixed rice (9 letters), fresh orange juice (16 letters). To be fair general signs like lelaki (6 letters), dilarang merokok (15 letters) are not the answers. For answers that have 5 letters or less, we will not put the actual letter count but just simply (5 letters or less).

2. Killer Riddle – With empty sheets third note will break the sheet. (5 letters or less)
RIDDLE CLOSED
Answer: Rojak
Ok, I’m sure most of you are eagerly waiting to see what the hell answer for this killer riddle is going to be.
For those of you who are courageous enough to try, Congratulations! You managed to hit the board but not the bull.
Let us start first by stating that initially the question was set like below:
With empty sheets third note will break this kind of sheet. (5 letters or less).
But we decide we will make it slightly difficult by not hinting kind of sheet, as this is a killer question. So, we changed it to:
With empty sheets third note will break the sheet. (5 letters or less)
Let us break the sentence and look at the word/s as follows:
With = inclusion indicator
Empty sheets = SS
Third = C (Third letter in alphabets)
Note = C (Music note range from A-G)
Will Break = not anagram indicator, but literally means will solve
Sheet = Sail
The riddle can be represented by the equation below:
SS + C + C + Answer = Sail
If you can reach this stage, you are more or less there.
With a little bit(ok, a lot) of general knowledge or looking up a good encyclopedia with sails diagram or do a little research in the internet, looking at all the possible sail names.
You’ll eventually come across a sail by the name of ‘Crossjack’.
Now, can you spot the local delicacy in that name?
The equation above can be rewritten as
Answer
= Sail – SS – C – C.
= Crossjack – SS – C – C
= Rojak
Crossjack is a kind of sail found in the mizzenmast of a ship. Further reference on the kind of sails/sheets are found in:

As this is the maiden killer question and the month when Pirates of the Carribean 3 is still hot, we’ve tried to instill some general knowledge elements relating to sails. It is hoped that you’ve picked up some new and valuable knowledge/word/lesson from this riddle.
