Are the grammar errors intentional? This being an internet forum and all, it's hard to give anyone the benefit of the doubt...

If nobody can solve them, then I have some bad news...

What do you mean? Bad news? Anyway someone managed to see something else, not saying who :sly:

I mean that a puzzle no one can solve is a bad puzzle.
This particular riddle has a bad case of pronoun disagreement. We're asked "What am I?" but there's no instance of "I" or "Me" anywhere in the riddle, which makes that question rather directionless. Of course, there's numerous instances of "Us," but a question referring to them would be "What are we?" not "What am I?"
While it may seem a bit nit-picky, it's that ambiguity that makes me not care about solving it. After all, if you can't make your pronouns agree, how am I supposed to trust that the clues in the puzzle are logically organized?
And just in case you're thinking "I meant it to be that way!": Riddles are tricky things. Poor grammar is fine if it helps lead the puzzler to the solution, but it had better be pretty obvious that you did it on purpose.

I see it, it's a sailboat.

Fine, the Us and the I are separate things, you have to use the Us to find the I :sweat: I hope I haven't given too much away :bored:

This is my final clue as I will just end up defeating the purpose of the riddle, my clue is that if I said this riddle by mouth, it would be IMPOSSIBLE to solve. :confused:
