What has many rings but no fingers? The trick is that a “ring” does not always mean a piece of jewelry. It can also describe a sound, a circle or something that happens repeatedly.
A hint before the answer
Think about something in a home that might ring several times during the day. You may have used one with a cord, a rotary dial or a familiar bell.
Answer and explanation
A common answer is a telephone. A phone can ring over and over when someone calls, but it has no fingers at all. Another reasonable answer is a tree, which develops growth rings in its trunk. That is why some riddles have more than one clever solution.
