God never met him,
But sometimes kings did.
People like you and I always meet him,
And the mathematicians love him.
Who/what is it?
Puzzling Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for those who create, solve, and study puzzles. It only takes a minute to sign up.
Sign up to join this communityThere is an old question along these lines whose answer is
an equal
and I think this is probably what you have in mind. (I think it may also be what Hilal meant by his answer, with "colleague" presumably being a not-very-good translation from another language.)
The explanations are all pretty obvious, but here they are:
God by definition has no equal. Kings do (e.g., other kings) and frequently meet them. Ordinary people certainly do and meet them all the time. And equality is a really important concept in mathematics.
Is it
sin?
Mathematicians love him.
sin as mathematical formula
God never met him,
God does not accept such things as sins, he forgivess all we do
But sometimes kings did.
Dont know about this one.. maybe Kings threw you into jail / killed you for your sins
People like you and I always meet him,
People tend to lie a lot which could be considered a sin
And the mathematicians love him.
same as first line
Is it
Pi or Pie
Explanation
Mathematicians love him.
Mathematicians use Pi in calculations
God never met him,
Pie was human made and was not exist from the beginning.
But sometimes kings did.
Evidence were found that Pie was found in Egypt at the time of pharaohs located in the Valley of the Kings.
People like you and I always meet him,
We all love to eat pi
And the mathematicians love him.
Pi helps mathematicians solve many calculations and equations.
I know it. Is it "colleague" ??
God never met him,
For my country there is one God So he can't meet a colleague. (PS:please read my comment . This riddle is a little common in my country so I immediately answered with thinking I found the answer.But this result depends on from person to person)
But sometimes kings did.
A king can meet another king, because in other countries there may be a king.
People like you and I always meet him,
As my friend asked that question and we are not so special person who has not so specific job that other peoples can't have, we can always meet him.
And the mathematicians love him.
Thought mathematicians like discussing about Math when they meet with their colleague, so they like each other.
