BosGuy brain teaser

Posted on June 28, 2013 | 11 Comments

Each Friday morning I post a riddle to get you to think outside the box and exercise your brain.

If you are stumped, share it with a friend or colleague to see if you can figure it out together.

I’ll confirm answers later in the day so don’t worry if you don’t see your comment posted right away. I want to give everyone a chance.

This weeks riddle: What word only becomes a palindrome when it is viewed upside down and backwards?

  Good one Damien, but I was looking for a word that was a palindrome meaning the same word… I was looking for the word SWIMS — when viewed upside down it becomes a palindrome.
