A friend of mine only tells his age on his birthday, and then only if you can solve a riddle. He seems to be in his 30's or 40's, but who knows.

Today is his birthday and here is the riddle he gave:

Quote:
baba black, have you any luck Jack, yes sir, yes sir, years at my
expense.

Hint:
capitalize the B's in baba, so it would be BaBa.
Anyone want to throw me a bone?

Have you googled "BaBa"? I've found several references to Ali Baba, Meher Baba, BaBa Berries (a cross between blackberries and raspberries), Baba Dochia of Roman mythology, Mario Baba from Little Shop of Horrors fame, and, well, UGH!!!

In other words, I have no idea!!!

Some things I've been considering:

The nursery rhyme BaBa Black Sheep has 3 bags full (of wool)

BaBa = 2nd and 1st letter in alphabet = 2121 = 42

Blackjack = 21 = 42

Raise your hand if you're far to stupid to even consider solving this riddle.

*raising hand*

But, what about the rest of the riddle? Is that all just filler then? Are we trying to think about this too hard? How many guesses do you get?
