What is it?

It's a part of some table tennis bats. Some people will occasionally sniff it. Others would rather throw it out on the water. In some homes, I can run vertically or horizontally. Know what it is?

Is it a 'line'?

Paint thinner?

Is it a paint sheet, like the ones Jpen or Cpen would use on one side if they don't use that side to play with?

Nope, it is none of these. I can give you two hints--it's not liquid, and it comes from a tree.

How many table tennis players (who use inverted rubber) does it take to replace a light bulb? :idea:

Some kind of wood that has flowers (to sniff) and can be used as a building material (moldings, flooring) at home, and of course used in bats- like, balsa?

No, Saakian, it's not balsa...but you are getting very warm!

I'm losing count here, but remember you can only post ONE solution per riddle per day. You can post as many riddles as you want though. You can guess the answer to all the riddle every day, but cannot make a guess for a single riddle more than once a day. :wink:

JimWeiland · **Posted:** 28 Oct 2009, 23:28

Sorry, Spinmeister--it's not plywood.
