Can you guess the answer to this riddle?<\/h2>\n

Who doesn’t like to solve riddles? They’re fun. They make you think, thereby exercising your brain. Some are harder to solve than others, but isn’t that what it’s all about? The harder riddles are to solve, the more satisfying the feeling when you finally succeed and come up with the right answer.<\/p>\n

Well, here is my<\/strong> riddle. Anyone who already knows the answer, please don’t spoil it for those who haven’t seen this yet are still puzzling over the answer…<\/p>\n

Clue #1<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n
\"\"

Clue #2<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n

\"a<\/a><\/p>\n

and finally…<\/p>\n

Clue #3<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n

\"Aug<\/p>\n

So there you have it. Three things that have something in common. An old building, my book cover and a calendar leaf. Any ideas what these three things have in common?<\/p>\n

Leave a comment stating what you think the answer is. I’ll be interested to see you answers. And those of you who already know? Please, don’t spoil it for those who are still scratching their heads trying to figure it out.<\/p>\n

And if you’re not in to solving riddles… well at least sit back and enjoy the theories as they come in. It should be great fun.<\/p>\n
