I refuse to back down and look at the invisible ink so I'll just give my instinctual answer - "Pray"!
Oh, now since I answered already I looked and I never would have thought of that.
Not bad Brigid, not bad at all! Who can fault that one. If it was an examination, I would definately have given you pass marks  thumbs up

Who would have thought of that survival tip? Cheesy

Try answering this.

A boy was at a carnival and went to a booth where a man said to the boy, "If I write your exact weight on this piece of paper then you have to give me $50, but if I cannot, I will pay you $50." The boy looked around and saw no scale so he agrees, thinking no matter what the man writes he'll just say he weighs more or less. In the end the boy ended up paying the man $50. How did the man win the bet?

The man did exactly as he said he would and wrote "your exact weight" on the paper.

These riddles are too easy for you intelligent folk. Cheesy

Let's try a couple more. Very simple.

This is as light as a feather,
Yet no man can hold it for long.
What is it?

No sooner spoken than broken. What is it?
