Just to point out, this debate was not intended as an Was it all right to cheat? debate, but rather, did he? I preosnally don't think he did, but it's too much fun playing devil's advocate . . .
Th ebaseball point is not valid. The pitcher can't force the batter to swing. I just checked, and Biblo speciafically told Gollum that it WAS a riddle. Now let's look at it from Gollum's point of view. He had been alone for too long of a time, forgetting hw social systems and such work. His companianship consisted of a ring (which may or amy not have a personality). Then here comes Biblo. They play a game with very questioable motives, and Gollum who has lost all of his sense of right and wrong. Biblo tells him that the pocket question is a riddle and that he MUST answer it or lose. Does that sound fair, or does it sound like cheating?
