could this be a misheard version of conundrum??
Here is a small collection from the web:
http://www.angelfire.com/oh/abnorm/
The site above might or might not be suitable for kids...I
didn't read all of it.
People use conundrum and riddle interchangeably, but I was
raised on conundrums from my father and I always thought the
difference was that a conundrum is, by definition,
unsolvable...they are meant to prompt a lot of thoughtful
paradox-circling.
Webster says this: Main Entry: co·nun·drum
Pronunciation: k&-'n&n-dr&m
Function: noun
Etymology: origin unknown
Date: 1645
1 : a riddle whose answer is or involves a pun
2 a : a question or problem having only a conjectural answer b
: an intricate and difficult problem
Best,
