Very, VERY old style riddles most often took the form of the words telling you about one picture that really stands for another one.
This is a riddle in that style.

Do you want to keep trying, or just get the answer?

This is an old favourite of mine:
What can you put in a barrel that makes it lighter and is visible to the naked eye?

it is either a lantern, or a hole. or maybe another source of light, like a match, or something.....
how about this one:
In marble walls as white as milk,
Lined with skin as soft as silk,
Within a fountain crystal clear,
A golden apple doth appear,
No doors are there to this stronghold-
Yet theives break in and steal the gold.
What am I?

I heard that one before. Of course, it would be no fun if I give the answer.
So when people finish that one up they can think about this one.
Yesterday this guy was interviewing people around the neighborhood. When he got to my next door neighbor Nicole answered the door.
Q. How many people live in the property? -
A. Four.
Q. How many kids?
A. Three...
Q. What are their ages?
A .I'm not going to tell you their ages but I will tell you that the product of their ages is equal to 36 and the addition is equal to my house number.
They guy thinks for a while, steps back to look at the house number and after a little more thinking he says "That is not enough information"
Nicole looks at him confused and after a while says"Oh... You are right. The oldest one plays the violin."
The guy writes some numbers down and says "Thank you for your cooperation." And walks away.
What are the ages of the three kids?

I can't.
Finding the house number is part of finding the ages.

It is not right.
How did you come up with that solution?
Keep in mind that the guy needed more information in order to get the right ages.
