Seems like a clue is needed for this...um... riddle Clue: If the Boa Constrictor were sane, it would be false that he and the Hippo were both mad, right? Therefore, if the Boa Constrictor were sane he would not have made the false statement.... Good luck!

I'd just like to point out that this riddle seems to be a variant of "One always lies, the other always tewlls the truth", where "mad" means "liar".
What I'm trying to get at is that I didn't understand the question...

Because having 1,898 silver dollars implies having one more dollar than 1,897 silver dollars. Somebody at a party introduces you to your mother's only sister's husband's sister-in-law. He has no brothers. What do you call this lady? Good luck.

The following riddle is one I made up (so no cheating!) and each line may indicate more than one letter to make it harder... Enjoy.
My first is indefinate, and is one of two forms, My second is a unit of physical importance. My third is optical, or at least so I hear, My fourth is a state of a girl I'd hold dear. My fifth is found on a plate when training, My entire is of science and refers to us whole.

A clue, I think. I'll give you the letter lengths.
The first is two long, The second is four. The third is but one, The forth is one more. The fifth is solomn, The whole is all ten.
