Oh, sorry, I totally missed that post. I guess we posted at the same time or something? Sorry Javi. And everyone else for leading you to believe the answer was something else.

When is a cucumber undeserving of being a cucumber?

That's it

There's another, an easy one:
The chemist and his daughter, the doctor and his wife, ate nine pears and they got three each.

(Sorry if the sentence is a bit odd, it's the translation from the Spanish poem for the riddle)

The chemist's daughter is the doctor's wife.

(Three times three is nine, right? I got it right this time?)

Thanks. I didn't have anything handy for creating a proper image before, but I have installed gpaint now.

Surely it could also be that the daughter is the doctor and the wife belongs to the chemist? Granted it would also indicate poor punctuation, but I'm allowing that to pass!

I guess, but I went with the one that doesn't require me to assume bad punctuation was used I mean, you'd say "the chemist, his daughter the doctor, and his wife" in a case like that. I can't imagine why you'd have an extra "and".
So I assumed there was one "right" solution that was also "tricky" and combined the two decidedly feminine words (daughter and wife) as one person.

My first thought was that the doctor was the daughter and she had a wife, but it said "his wife" so I scratched the idea, and put the daughter/wife as the same person with an indeterminate job.

What are you all so worked up about? It's just a bunch of cucumbers cut lengthwise, with their tips removed. That's not even a puzzle.
