OET (OET-RV) So he said,

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said to/for=them from,,eater he/it_went_forth something_to_eat and,from,a_strong_[one] he/it_went_forth sweet and=not could to=announce the,riddle three_of days )
The implication is that the Philistine young men tried for three days to solve the riddle and then gave up and forgot about it until the end of the feast. You could say that explicitly if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [for three days, so they gave up and forgot about it until the end of the feast]

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
