hey guys - my man just sent me this sweet historical riddle:

the king of prussia friedrich the second wrote to his friend voltaire:

P---------6
_____ a _____ ?

venez-----100
(igore the "---" it's just a palceholder)

voltaire answered: Ga

one hint: both spoke basically french

it took me some time to solve it, in russia we've got a related one.
try it without google.

I don't speak French, so I guess I'm out.

Me too, if you can find a dutch one I'm in for the challenge.

where are all the french (speaking) ones?

well it was also possible for me to solve and i'm not sooooo good at french.. just try, it's really not very difficult

Well, being "not so good" at french and not speaking french at all is a slight difference, if you can follow me.

OMG.. I suppose that flu has made my mind go abroad %)

I certainly have written "ferdinand" in the topic x)

... of course it's friedrich the second - not any ferdinand -.-

I'm pretty ashamed of that terrible mistake - but be understandingly.. I had about 39,6 œC temperature when i wrote that

could a mod correct that mistake in the topic headline please?

Which mistake?

thank you

venez souper à 100 sous 6.
But "100 sous 6" means nothing ...

first part is right, but the second part HAS a meaning

Venez souper à sans souci
But it's not "french" (I know because I'm french) the correct sentence should be : "venez souper sans souci".

uh oh...

you don't know the castel "sans soucis" in potsdam?

oh my... go to school honey
venez à l'école

yey, i like it more than versailles

... I didn't know this castel.
But I found all the same the good answer ... héhé
