I'm new to puzzling and have just dropped by. Here's a puzzle I made up. I have no idea if it is hard or easy.
Given to the Greeks by the Egyptians, it provides no answer for Buddhists seeking enlightenment yet many schoolchildren find it easily.
Answer
The answer is…
MU/MEW.
Explanation:
μ is a letter imported to Greek, apparently from the Egyptian hieroglyph for water.
It's also an answer used to signify in Buddhism that a question should be "unasked": that neither a positive nor a negative answer is meaningful, and that the act of posing the question has indicated misunderstanding.
Additionally, it's the sound that a cat makes.
Many schoolchildren will find μ when they work in physics/maths (especially when friction is encountered)
