Let’s play the ‘I’m thinking of something’ riddle game. 

Hint #1: Under ideal conditions an onion will have...
a predictable amount of leaves and rings.

Hint #2: Actually, one can count the amount.

Hint #3: This number is mentioned on our home page...
in a semi-surprising manner.

So, what word “answers/solves the riddle”?

From time to time, when someone in your household cuts into an onion bulb that looks healthy and well-formed, why not take time to COUNT ITS RINGS.

From time to time, when you have a green onion plant that looks oh so healthy and well-formed, why not take time to COUNT ITS LEAVES.

YOUR TURN AGAIN.  (Consider sharing your riddle.)

By the way...

Why is ‘smiles’ the longest word in the dictionary?
