A Riddle

One of my oldest, dearest, bestest friend sent me this riddle. It took him 29 minutes to solve it. Now, he's of a higher intelligence level than I am in my opinion (he thinks differently) so I'm lucky if I get it in under that time. I started working on it today at 5:25 p.m. It is now 5:33 p.m. and I am totally lost! So, as you in my blog circle are such smarties ... give it a crack. The link my friend sent me has the answer linked at the bottom and I have fought very hard not to make that fateful click ... so I'll just place the riddle here and you all take a crack at it. To give everyone a chance, I'll leave the riddle open for suggested answers up to Tuesday, December 6 at 7:00 p.m. (Jamaica Time). Post your answers in the comments and on Wednesday ... no no no ... Thursday, December 8, I will click on the answer and post it. So ... have fun everyone!!
