Riddle

[spoiler=cbt711]They were doing the conga and the dance floor is anywhere the conga goes and so were already all / mostly out of the building via the one door?[/spoiler] I believe BETA is in the wings waiting to throw a riddle at us, bring it in BETA!

thx tram [spoiler=CBT's_riddle,_@tramadol]I thought it was because they were all couples!!!![/spoiler]

Never thought of it that way BETA, I think I am wrong and you are right.

Here's a very cute riddle, inspired by a professor - My first letter is also the first letter of a king / city, (hi virtuosity98) My last letter CAN be viewed as a number, Inhaling me can be deadly, I am in the United States and Europe, I have multiple forms, I have no feet, yet I can run, You have interacted with me recently, I am found in the cancers of the terminally ill, There is a website devoted to protecting you from me!!!! What am I?

Never thought of Rye in cereal, but yeah that makes perfect sense. And no, single file, the did not have enough time to leave Tram.

[spoiler]This is for CBT711.It's obvious. They were all incinerated and blown up.[/spoiler]

[spoiler=BETA]I'm getting first letter D for David due to Virtuosity98 reference at the end. The last letter could be roman numerals so: I V X L C D M or could be the letters l, I, S or O just because they look like numbers... after this I have nothing to go on, as just about anything can run or run out... any tiny little clue?[/spoiler]

[spoiler=Tramadol]correct on the D.[/spoiler] [spoiler=Clue]The last letter is not a roman numeral. And, it is sometimes also [i]spoken[/i] instead of a number[/spoiler] I think I need to add more info, so I can try to think of some more clues..

No one in the ball died nor teleported, nor was abducted by aliens, or any other crazy scenario.

[spoiler=cbt711, I believe BETA had the answer]There was not a single person left in the ballroom because; they were all couples / married.[/spoiler]

[spoiler=BETA]The only letter that can sound like a number when spoken is "O" representing zero, but I never say this, only zero! However, if you mean can represent a number as an algebraeic variable / constant such as "x", any letter of the alphabet can be used?? Am I correct with "O"?[/spoiler]

Yeah you guys got it. I like that one :)

[spoiler=Tramadol]sometimes, people say "O" instead of zero, say, in a phone number. (yeah, incorrect, etc, but some people sometimes do.) so you got that already!!! :D Now for the rest of the word.....:P I really have to give more info, just trying to organize it to be more informative, but not give it away yet.[/spoiler] PS. How did you create your spoiler header with spaces??

[spoiler=I am testing this out]Huh... pretty easy, just no space directly after = sign, and you can write whatever you want.[/spoiler]
