I the only one among us,
One in cat, two in mitten,
Two are odd, five are even
Seven in all, and one in seven.

Yep this one is a challenging one. Honestly I’m not sure I could get this one myself. You gotta make some connections by interpreting the poem and the connections are on a couple different layers.

I figured it was worth exploring this challenge :innocent:

Maybe sleep on it and the inspiration will strike you in the morning? Give some space for the pieces to come together.

Oh a happy belated birthday @Matt :birthday::birthday::tada: don’t think we properly celebrated. What day was it?

I do think this riddle got the best of us all. Well done :clap:t4::clap:t4:

I’ll leave it to you to officially post the answer and would you like to give another one a go?

It’s Roman numerals:

I
V
X
L
C
D
M

There are seven of them, and the poems were alluding both to how many there are, and also where they appear in the words in the poems.

Good effort team, that was a challenging one!

@JoeDogs I pass it to you :innocent:

Here goes. I think maybe another tough one.

What is it.
