There are a lot of different kinds of English. I agree with iitimone7 if you are speaking American English. However, "learnt" is also acceptable according to the dictionary. I think it may be used in British English.
As for the question, were you looking for some riddles, vngirl? If so, I have one riddle. I'll explain it afterwards. The riddle goes like this:
When is a door not a door?
When it's ajar.
[Explanation: If a door is open a little, we can say it's ajar (one word). The word "jar" also is a container, for example, a jar of mayonnaise, or peanut butter, or jelly. So, when you say the answer to the riddle, it sounds the same as "When it's a jar," but of course, a door can't be a jar.] |

You are in a cold house in the winter. It is dark. You have one match. There is a candle and there is a wood burning stove. Which do you light first? |

You are missing a line!
It's from a riddle that rhymes:
Brothers and sisters have I none,
But this man's father is my father's son. |

legs:
there are 6 men --> 6x2 = 12 legs
there are 6 baskets (no legs) with 6 cats --> 6x6x4 = 144 legs
there are 6x6x6 kitten with 4 legs --> 6x6x6x4 = 864 legs
--> 12+144+864 = 1020 legs ?!? wow, that's much

it's me?! ("this man" is my son then?!)
hmm.. i know this number's riddle but i forgot how it can be solved but i came this far (you mustn't think mathematically )
each line describes the previous line, the first line has one 1 --> 11 in the second line. the second line has two 1 --> 21 in the third line.
1 --> one 1 (for the next line)
11 --> two 1 (")
21 --> one two and two 1
1211 --> one 1, one 2, two 1
111221 --> same pattern
312211
13112221 --> one 1 one 3 two 1 three 2 one 1
--> next line has to be: 1113213211
hope this is right..
greets
