Those who tried to answer the riddle:
sesshoumaru lover1: Good try, but length times width times height gives you the mass (I think.),
not weight. But thanks for trying!
Jessica: Even if they picked up the whole cart, they can't tell how much weight belongs to the
cart, and how much weight belongs to the statue. Though it was a good try.
lovely angel: Good, your guess was great, but you'll need support on why you think it's fifty lbs.
MysticalAngel: Thanks for trying, but three tons will smash the cart. Also, you'll need support
for why you think it's that much. But that's okay, really happy that you tried.
Author's Notes: Still me, Dragonlady, your real author is still paying her respects to the dead.

Meet the Eastern Lord, and the Cracking of The Riddle
"Well, I-I um I am..." stuttered Kagome trying to come up with an excuse.
"She's my cousin, who is engaged to Sesshoumaru here." lied Miroku with a straight
face.
"Your cousin? I can tell you are a demon, while this girl, while beautiful, is still a
human." stated the noble with an evil smirk.
"Well, this is how it goes." butted in Kagome before Miroku blew it. "Our great, great,
great, great, grandmother had two children. One of the children married a human, and had a child
themselves. That child later married another human, and so on. While the other child of our
great, great, great, great, grandmother married a full demon. So they,...."
"Enough!" yelled the noble holding his head. "I don't want to know your confusing
family tree!"
"Fine!" pouted Kagome as she made a face. Sesshoumaru, Miroku, Sango, Alan, and
Brendan had to refrain from bursting into laughter.
"So can you solve the riddle?" asked the noble with a smirk.
"Yes, I fact, I can." replied Kagome matter of fact tone. "Though I would need a few
things to do so."
"Whatever you need, just remember you are not allowed to pick up the statue, and is not
allowed to use a scale!"
"I know, my 'FAMILY' and I can't pick up the statue." stated Kagome emphasizing
family and I . "All I want is to prove you wrong in front of the Eastern Lord."
"Why?" asked the noble, curiosity taking control.
"Scared?" taunted Kagome.
"No, fine, we'll leave for the palace now!" with that said, everyone prepared to leave.
Kagome looked at Miroku and raised an eyebrow. "Out of all the things to say, why did
you have to say I was YOUR cousin and SESSHOUMARU'S fiancee? Asked Kagome pissed.
"Well you two seem like such a good cou..." started Miroku, but was cut off with
Kagome stomping on his foot.
"Serves you right." stated Sesshoumaru as he turned toward Kagome and asked, "Do you
really know how to solve that riddle?"
"Of course." replied Kagome.
"Then how much does it weigh?" asked Sango with amazement.
"I don't know." replied Kagome.
"You just said you did!" yelled Brendan.
"Quite yelling, I said I can solve it, but I didn't say I knew the weight." replied Kagome.
"Then what are you going to do?" asked Miroku still holding his toe.
"Well, I will be using the noble's words against him." replied Kagome as she walked out
the door. "Come on, or we'll be late."
^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^
"Ow, b***h!" screamed Inuyasha at Lily.
"Such fowl language!" scolded Kikyou with a frown. "Lily didn't mean to, did you Lily?"
"Of course not, it was an accident. I just sort of slipped and the soup went flying in the
sky! I can't help it if the soup likes Inuyasha's head."
"Why you, I ought ta kill you for this." screamed Inuyasha as he charged at Lily.
Kikyou grabbed her frying pan and knocked Inuyasha on conscience and sighed, "How
immature!" Kikyou began to walk to the hut when Lily whispered something no one could hear.
"Inuyasha, don't you dare anger me, or you'll just have to suffer the consequences."
^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^
"So you want to answer an impossible riddle in front of me?" asked the Eastern Lord with
an amused look. Miroku had to keep a tight grip on Sesshoumaru's arm to keep him from trying
to assassin the lord right then and there.
"Yes your majesty." replied Kagome with a bow.
"Then lets hear your answer." stated the Lord.
"Well, I have to ask the noble a question first." replied Kagome.
"Then ask." commanded the noble slightly irritated.
"Well, how much does your head weigh?" asked Kagome innocently.
"Why do you want to know that?" asked the noble.
"Just curious." replied Kagome with her innocent look.
"Fine, about seven pounds."
"Now answer the riddle." stated the Lord getting impatient.
"Okay, the statue weighs exactly seven pounds." replied Kagome.
"Wrong!" yelled the noble.
"I can prove to you I am right." replied Kagome.
"How?"
"Get two tanks and fill it up with the exact amount of water." commanded Kagome.
The eastern lord nodded his head so the guards did as Kagome commanded.
"Okay, drop the statue into the water." commanded Kagome. The noble looked calm and
even had a smile on as the guards dropped the statue into the water.
"Wait!" yelled the noble. "I thought I said you can't pick up the statue."
"Well, technically, I didn't." replied Kagome. "They did." said Kagome pointing to the
guards.
"Fine, it's not going to help you anyway."
"Last of all, chop off your head and drop it in the other tank." stated Kagome pointing at
the noble.
"What!"
"Well, you said your head weighed seven pounds, and I said the statue weighed seven
pounds. So, if the water level remains the same after your head is dropped in, I'm correct. If the
water level changes, your correct. So milord," stated Kagome toward the eastern lord. "Will you
chop off his head so I can prove I am correct?"
Before the eastern lord could reply, the noble cried, "Your right, your right, it does weigh
seven pounds! You don't have to prove it."
"Well, that means I'm correct. So we will be leaving now." replied Kagome as she
pushed her companions out of the palace.
"Kill him!" ordered the eastern lord pointing at the noble. "He is so stupid and pathetic.
The girl, on the other hand, is a genius, and she will certainly be of great help to me in my quest
to conquer the world."
^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^
"You're a genius!" cried Sango giving Kagome a big hug.
"You did well." commented Sesshoumaru as he lifted Kagome onto his horse. Everyone
eyed them.
"I can't leave Kagome here, so she will be coming with me." stated Sesshoumaru looking
annoyed.
"So, Sango-sama, are you coming with us too?" asked Miroku innocently as his hands
began to wander toward Sango's bottom.
Whack! "Yes, I will come with you guys, but I will ride with either Alan or Brendan."
replied Sango as she dusted her hands.
Soon they continued on their way with Sango, Alan, and Brendan chatting about different
demons, and Sesshoumaru holding a sleeping Kagome close to him. Miroku, well lets just say, he
decided to take a nap on the road with Sango's hand print on his face.
