No, I know the provenance of the riddle but I just had the impression that you were looking for a different one of the many answers that have since been suggested for it.

Carroll himself once offered this solution: The way that they are alike is that they are unalike in every way.

Plastic

Just thinking about this and I think lunateak is right (but forgot to phrase as a question!!) I can't think of a man-made material that is more plentiful than concrete.

by espíritu del lago Wed Jun 27, 2012 10:50 am

Concrete would be correct.

by espíritu del lago Wed Jun 27, 2012 10:52 am

concrete

As of 2006, about 7.5 billion cubic meters of concrete are made each year—more than one cubic meter for every person on Earth.

The Blue Peter is a flag consisting of a white square inside a blue border. When is it flown by ships? Hurry up!

by lunateak Wed Jun 27, 2012 12:05 pm

The flag represents the letter P but I don't know what the message is that corresponds to this flag.
Do I get half a point for "What is the letter P?"

I dunno. The only times I had a blue peter it had nothing to do with sailing.
