How can you write a date in 5 letters without using any numbers?
The most popular answer for this teaser is ‘today’. Of course this only works if you’re reading it on that particular date or if the date is not specified. Another option is to respond literally with ‘a date’. Lastly, certain dates could be squeezed into letters using Roman numerals if you abbreviate the year to 2 numerals. For example, January 20th, 2011 would be I XX XI.

A harvest sown and reaped on the same day
A war.
In one day, 6 things.
What are the things?
Odd numbers.
In a day, there are 6 odd hours: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 (ignoring 24-hour time).
In a week, there are 4 odd-numbered days: 1, 3, 5, 7
In a month, there are 2 odd weeks: 1, 3 (no month has 5 full weeks)
And in a year’s 12 months, there is 1 odd number: 1 (the 1 of 12).
I readily agree the year one is a stretch, but I didn’t write it :)
