Not sure. That IS a tough one. I know Rial is a form of currency, which makes sense given the last line if combined in a certain way, but since the other one doesn't fit, that means I am thinking of it wrong, and I can't seem to break my mind out of that pattern for the riddle. Need to step back and try again later.

'Present' and 'Past' refer to tense, and think of what verb the RIP represents.

Should all fall into place.

'Tear' and 'Tore' are the verbs you're looking for. bluetongue.gif

That should give you the -first- word of the answer. The second word is the last line. bluetongue.gif

I dunno, I am pulling up an entire blank on this one. I admit, I am being dense. bluetongue.gif I just don't know any word that readily comes to mind that use Ri and al in it. bluetongue.gif

Ooooh Ooooooh!
I think i got it!
I spent like half an hour and i think i know what it is. Although it made alot more sense when you said tear, instead of rip bluetongue.gif

The present tense of ripping "IT". You "Tear IT"
The past term of ripping "RIAL". You "Tore RIAL"
The last part was easy, VAN+TAGE = you ad van and tage, advantage

If you add all the words together you get.....

Tear IT Tore RIAL advantage
Territorial Advantage.

I think i'm right, but in hind sight, i could be barking up with wrong tree completely O_o

doh.gif I got the words separately, but some how putting them together just didn't enter my head. No wonder Torial made no sense. _sure.gif

I'm quite simple, but everyone loves to examine me.
Most people think I am quite attractive as well, but once you get to know me I am no more attractive than anyone else.
I can guarantee you've never seen I or anyone like me, though we tend to leave hints as to where we might be.
I come in all sizes, but only one shape, and it only depends on how much I weigh.

What am I?
