Yet how you miss me

Easy one, a coffin
Here's a more challenging one.....
A hundred and one
by fifty divide,
And if a cipher
is rightly applied,
The answer is one from nine

Answer:
CLIO
a hundred = C,
one = I,
by fifty divide = L (between them)
cipher rightly applied = O (add zero to right)
one from nine = CLIO, one of the nine muses.

Hyphen. The first two lines yield high-fen. A hyphen is used by a writer to tie (or cramp) two words together
and well done for finding the exact same riddle website as me and posting the one above it

Just what I was thinking, Barman!
I don't know if this is a riddle but at least you wont find the answer on a riddle page...
Justify how a DS0- DS1- DS3 can be explained by beer.
Dot9M
lol, you forget, I'm a barman with a broadband computer...
I'm not too certain about it to be honest, but it's something to do with DS0 being 64Kbps, DS1 being 1.544Mbps and DS3 being 44.736Mbps.
The relationship between this and beer is that if you imagine DS0 is one can of beer, then DS1 is a crate of 24 beers and DS3 is a truck containing 28 crates, or 672 beer cans.
am I on the right lines, it's all a bit too techy for me....

Q. Though I exist alone, there are often many of us interconnected like the threads of a web. If I am worn, there is an expression that indicates you should not leave me.
