Here is a little riddle...

Mr. Kelly is eccentric and bizarre but he is not unusual!
He likes football but dislikes sports!


Before beginning PLEASE read all rules carefully.

There will be two ways to win this contest; the first is to figure out the riddle. If you think you have the answer and have figured out why Mr. Kelly likes what he likes and dislikes what he dislikes DO NOT POST IT HERE!

Send an email with the answer to info@phiniac.com with the subject "Riddle Answer" and include your ECF username. The first person to figure it out and email us will win! Please do not PM answers to us, as we do not want our PM Inbox to fill up and miss the right answer!

The second way to win will be to post things you think Mr. Kelly likes and dislikes (this also might help you to solve the riddle) we will pop in now and again and tell you if you are right or wrong guessing what it might be that Mr. Kelly likes and dislikes. Please note, you could be right about what Mr. Kelly likes and dislikes and still have not solved the riddle. We have been doing this riddle for a VERY long time and many have stumbled upon what Mr. Kelly likes and dislikes but haven't figured out the riddle!

If you think you have the riddle figured out please keep the answer to yourself, as others might still be trying to figure it out and why ruin their fun. Posting the answer or hints to others will get you disqualified from the contest completely!

Each day, we will be saving the "Mr. Kelly Likes & Dislikes" post to a numbered list in the order they were submitted along with the ECF username for that post. At the end of the contest, we will put the numbers from this list into random.org to determine the second winner. So no need to run up your post count just for the sake of winning as only Mr. Kelly Likes and Dislikes posts (right or wrong) will be considered in the random drawing. The person who is the first to email the correct answer to the riddle to us will not be included in the random drawing.

You may submit three posts per day stating what Mr. Kelly likes and dislikes, posts should be formatted as follows:

Mr. Kelly likes football but dislikes sports!

If you are able to make it bold that will make life easier for us, if not it is OK. Also when submitting what Mr. Kelly likes and dislikes please do not include other chat in that particular post. Only post what Mr. Kelly likes and dislikes in these posts in the above format.

The first person to email us the correct answer to the riddle will win a gift certificate for $30 dollars to use as you wish on the website.

The person whose post is randomly picked will win a gift certificate for $30 dollars to use as you wish on the website.


We will pop in and give more hints as to what Mr. Kelly likes and dislikes as the contest progresses.

If you wish to chat, that is fine, but please do not chat in your Mr. Kelly likes and dislikes posts! We also ask that chat does not include anything about the riddle, again keep it to yourself until a winner is announced and we share with everyone the answer to the riddle.

If you figure it out don't assume someone else already has, send us an email and let us know, if everyone follows the rules and keeps the answer to themselves and there is no chat about the riddle aside from posting what Mr. Kelly likes and dislikes in the format above, you never know you might be the first. Further, if you have already sent us what you thought was the answer to the riddle but have changed your mind, feel free to send an email with your new answer, who knows it can be the first right one and be the winner!

We will announce both winners and the answer to the riddle on Wednesday evening.

And remember…

Mr. Kelly likes winners and dislikes losers!

Okay, I will be the first (and maybe only) to say I am stupid.

Is "Mr. Kelly likes winners and dislikes losers!" the riddle.

Also, can we e-mail you only once. I read we can post three things a day but what about the e-mail answer?

The riddle is to figure out why Mr. kelly Likes what he likes and dislikes what he dislikes. You can make three posts a day in the following format.

Mr. Kelly likes football but dislikes sports!

Any time you think you have solved the riddle you can send us an email with the answer. If you have already sent one answer, but think you might have another, you can send the new answer.

Not a clue ..... Augh!

You won't begin to have one until everybody starts to post some guesses. As we tell you if they are right or wrong you will start to see a patern.

I will get you started with two, one from above and a new one:

Mr. Kelly likes winners and dislikes losers!


Mr. Kelly likes kittens and dislikes cats!

Sorry but I am still confused. Whatever part of the brain is in charge of riddles, seems to be missing for me

Are we trying to figure out why Mr Kelly likes football yet dislikes sports?

Or are we just trying to think of anything at random that Mr Kelly likes and dislikes?

No problem, apology not needed. You are supposed to be posting random guesses at what he might like and dislike. If you think you know why he likes and dislikes things then you email that answer.
