Can you construct a sentence that reads correctly, that is grammatically correct and has the same word five times consecutively in the sentence?
(‘I had had that before’ has the same word twice consecutively but you need to include five consecutively)
(‘I had had that before’ has the same word twice consecutively but you need to include five consecutively)
'Imagine the scene when Mr. Lenihan and Mr. Mansfield inspected the newly painted sign on the building.
Mr. Lenihan: ‘It looks good, does it not?’
Mr. Mansfield: ‘I am not so sure’
Mr. Lenihan: ‘ Hmm. I think it is just what we asked for. Why are you concerned?’
Mr. Mansfield: ‘ I just think that the spaces between Lenihan and "and" and "and "and Mansfield are not the same’
With thanks to Mike Barry who posed the riddle to me many years ago and to Tom Spalding who suggested the images to accompany the riddle.
