I have a 6-year old niece who is beginning to understand the English language (our native language is Spanish). A few days ago I came up with a short riddle and I want to try it before giving it to her.
What is it like to live in the middle of nowhere?
It's like living here in the first place or there in the second.
It feels like living in Hamburg but not in Germany.
Do you have some advice on how to make this riddle understandable, and enjoyable to her?
Answer
It's pretty obvious to seasoned puzzlers that the answer is
The letter 'h'. In the middle of "nowhere", the first letter in "here", and the second in "there".
Can't speak for what a six-year-old will think of it, but it works.
