[quote authoar=Follysho707 post=63435817]I respectfully disagree!

From an English grammar perspective.... If 'What' is the name of the ship according to the author...then, it's not stated or not hinted at all in the argument. It should have been stated this way... "What, is the name of the ship" with a comma at the end of 'what' and without a '?' at the end of the statement / argument. The question mark at the end of the argument begs the question.

In the statement, the author utilized 'What' as an 'adjective' which is commonly used to introduce a noun or a noun phrase.
So, for it to actually be the name of the ship, it should have been used as a noun as I depicted in my above argument. The comma after the 'what' is very imperative.

Again, on the lighter side... it's a riddle anyway! My answer to the riddle is "Famous" as the name of the Ship. wink[/quote]that Makes It A Riddle, Of Couse You Need To Add And Subtract,
