Hmm, we'll have something simpler xD Guess one word from this sentence:

"Love surrounded by unusually rich voices."
red wrote: xD guess I didn't make it clear, huh ..... well. guess a word from the sentence provided, that sentence is the clue to a word B)

So the answer is no. It is not in the sentence
You say to guess a word from that first sentence Right?

Your next statement is a bit confusing did you mean Word (A) as in the one we are trying to guess, or is it indeed word (B)?
If it is a word (B), then is that a different guessing game or the same one.

The word "surrounded" suggest things. I think you might be using music terms and surrounding a word
The First word "Love" can not be surrounded. Same for the last word "voices"
that leaves these words "surrounded by unusually rich". As "surrounded" seems to be a clue, it is unlikely to be that one
Spoiler:
I would guess the word to be UNUSUALLY, as by removing those three words, it is the only word that is surrounded

@c-square;;
Spoiler:
Does the word have the letters l, o, v and e in it? only O but not the rest.
@sstimson;;
iuneven get what you're talking about xD; if you're referring to 'B)', that would be an emote

... you guys read too much into things. The sentence is a hint to a word, and you are to guess that word. That's it.
Spoiler:
I would guess the word to be UNUSUALLY, as by removing those three words, it is the only word that is surrounded - nope. word's not in the sentence, thought I'd answered that already.

maybe figuring out the context this sentence would be used/seen in would help .... ? o.o; idk, I'm kinda new to this riddle-making thing.

Well, it looks like

it could be a part of some poem...? Which would mean the sentence is some kind of metaphor...

Okay.  Well all know that "Love is 0", which looks like the letter 'o'.  Rich voices are those of a choir, soprano, alto, tenor and bass, or 's', 'a', 't', and 'b'.  Surround 'o' with 's', 'a', 't', and 'b' and you get 'boats'!  Or 'boast'...  Or 'sabot'...  Right???
Spoiler:
Yeah, I didn't think that was the real answer either.  ;D

Hand has five fingers numbered 0-4

so eight lands on finger 3

Removing six lands on finger 2

Starting on finger 3 ( see above )

adding six lands on finger 2

Seven starts on finger 2

adding six lands on finger 3

so is the answer 3?
No, but you have good imagination.

New hint: When I say hand, I don't mean a living thing's hand.......

Hm, two riddles at once... It's getting out of control...
Spoiler:
And yes, it seems the answer for red's one is "choir" like VQ suggested. It's O surrounded by the letters r, i, c, h.
Tomorrow was supposed to be the deadline for the Brain-Frying Riddle #4 but as I know some people who have "almost-ready-wait-just-a-bit" deductions in the making, I'll probably wait just a little longer. Use it wisely! Think, every day I hope to see a new PM with a deduction in my PMbox. And the Birthday Hints I gave to some of you? Come on, this is your big chance!

Yep, just like eworm said. It's more or less fashioned in the way crosswords give out hints :]

love = 0 = o
unusually generally means rearranged words, in this case, 'rich'
and 'voices' would be the definition of the word hinted by the sentence. ^^

Hmm... 
Spoiler:
310?

81 / 3 = 27
27 / 3 = 9
9 / 3 = 3

1 + 3 = 4
4 + 3 = 7
7 + 3 = 10
