It literally means that my birthday (month #) & (day #) are my lucky numbers.

Earlier, I said that one of my lucky numbers is IN my age.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

Well, I'm working on trying to decode it all over again. :P

I'm still sticking with "aquamarine = March = 3". So there's possibly a 3 in your age. But I'll go through it all again and see if I can figure anything out.

though for now we can cross out 13 ^^ then the next are 23, 33, 43, 53, and 63 ^^

to be fair, he has said previously that if he doesn't like your reasoning, he'll say you got his age wrong, so he could be doing the same thing with phoenix just because she didn't get the whole poem right. :P

But if he really isn't 13, then in all likelihood, his age is his just the day because I doubt he's 3, 23 or any of the higher ones. :P

Right, but there might not be a 3 at all. That's why I said possibly. And he did mention earlier that someone guessed his correct age, but didn't give a valid reason. And none of those were guesses. So then, that means there probably isn't a 3 in his age. But 3 is one of his lucky numbers.

I made a list earlier (but deleted it) and if I remember correctly, the guessed numbers were: [s]13[/s], 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 20.

And he did say that he was being honest when he said he wasn't 15. So we can rule that one out.

Detective Tommy wrote:Here is a riddle to help you figure out when my birthday is and my age!
(It's really lame, and might be really really stupid...)


Head over to Google, where the web isn't lame.
According to my Indian and Hindu baby name.
I often go fishing, in the sea that is green.
And my lucky birthstone is aquamarine.
My lucky numbers are in the month and day.
My lucky day of 2009 is on a weekday I must say.
My very first birthday, the first of the weekday.
The day I was born at age 0, had started the week.
The dog I desire must not be mean or be weak.
The one I received, came 11th in the race.
It made a quick stop to Neptune, and in no haste.
I am very interested, the myths of the Greek.
Search for the info, find it if you seek.
Going down to the 12th floor is not important.
But every other floor contains a great hint.
Solve this riddle to find my birthday and age.
It is quite simple, so don't at all act in rage.
I am compassionate, selfless, sympathetic and carefree.
Intuitive, artistic, joyful and imaginative all describe me.

Whoever explains each line/phrase correctly will win a very special prize.
And will also know my true age and birthday. *Edit*



welll let's see, I guess we'll have to decipher the first 2 lines since he said : "Because the first two lines of the riddle holds the key to the answer."

Right. I'm trying to figure that out right now. I Googled "Hindu baby names" as a starting point (because it doesn't seem to be referencing Tommy (Thomas is a Greek name meaning "a twin".) But then I have no idea where to go from there, or even if I'm on the right track. I would think it would have something to do with finding out his Hindu/Indian baby name - but I have no idea how to get there. I've tried plugging in "fishing", "sea", "green" and the meaning of his name ("twin") - and have come up with nothing that makes sense.

The first two lines really doesn't make sense, I don't know if the first is connected to the second, or the second is connected to the third....? Commas and periods aren't clear there... :P

But right now, based on the reading, and if he was born in the year of the dog, then March 12th, 1994 makes sense to me ... :P

He was born on a Sunday though, and March 12, 1994 is a Saturday.

Assuming he's a dog though, he's 16 years old, obviously.

And his birthday would have to be:

March 6, 1994
March 13, 1994
March 20, 1994

I'm leaning toward the 13th, personally, but that's based purely on my own instincts, not anything related to the riddle.

So, there's my guess.

Age 16. Birthday March 13, 1994.

Haha, okay. So if it's right, we both got it then. ;D ...otherwise we still have two more guesses for 1994. :P

You have guessed my age correctly, but not my birthday. That's only because of the "dog" part, right?
I knew that would be a dead give away. :P
Also, you were on the right track by using Google. But you did not search the right thing.

So, are you guys trying to figure out my birthday now?

Hey I was half right! My guess was 16-17, since I said first "between 16 and 19" and then said "we can rule out +17".
