Bilbo, lost in the caves of the Goblins, stumbles in the dark to the edge of a subterranean lake. There he meets a creature called Gollum. Gollum intends to eat Bilbo, but Bilbo challenges him to a Riddle duel. If Bilbo can't answer a riddle set by Gollum, then Gollum will kill and eat him; if Gollum can't answer a riddle set by Bilbo, then Gollum must show Bilbo the way out of the Goblins' caves.
How would you do? How many of these riddles can you solve?
- What can you catch but not throw?
- What is in seasons, seconds, centuries and minutes but not in decades, years or days?
- Inside a burning house, this thing is best to make. And best to make it quickly, before the fire's too much to take! ...
- I am related to the water, but I am not wet. I am an illusion, but I show what is real. What am I?
- What goes first but then follows? What fills in holes and blocks out the sky? What hides shadows, but runs from the sun?
- I have holes on the top and bottom. I have holes on my left and on my right. And I have holes in the middle, yet I still hold water. What am I?
- If you have it, you want to share it. If you share it, you don't have it. What is it?
- I am the beginning of the end, and the end of time and space. I am essential to creation, and I surround every place. What am I?
- I am all about, but cannot be seen. I can be captured, but not held. I have no throat, but I can be heard.
Do not post your answers; instead, type them up with a title and a footer (all Golden rules..) in MS WORD and print them off. Leave them on the printer. I will collect them later.
