Yes - specifically I was talking about their respective fathers and kingdoms, but you pretty well got us there!

Anybody have riddles to offer? For you new folks, there's no need to solve one before posting in THIS game... just hang a riddle out there and let people whack away at it... and tell them whether they're right or not!

I am hoping everyone should get this one easily:

Thirty white horses, on a red hill
First, they champ,
Next, They stamp,
Then, stand still

What is the sound of one hand clapping?

***Earniel*** · 04-08-2004, 07:53 AM

According to Pratchett it's cl.

The sound of the other hand clapping would then be 'ap'.

Radagast The Brown · 04-08-2004, 06:16 PM

Ok... I tried one, and it's very hard. In hints of course, and the riddle didn't rhymes but still... try it.

A silver, bright net
Owned by the beloved of all elves
In the darkness, the height
Showing itself.

Last Child of Ungoliant · 04-08-2004, 06:27 PM

Voiceless it cries
wingless flutters
toothless bites
mouthless mutters

You know, I don't think you suppose to take riddles from the book, you need to invent them yourself. And besides in the book they're already solved. It's not a challenge. And, they need to be connected to the book. The wind is not connected to the book.

Try to solve my riddle.

I'm looking for a certain thing, connected to Tolkien. You cannot find it in the real world, like a regular star. You're close though.

(I thought it'd be harder!)

earendil?

Radagast The Brown · 04-08-2004, 07:02 PM

brownjenkins · 04-08-2004, 07:52 PM

the roof of the halls of manwë?

Christiana · 04-08-2004, 10:51 PM

umm... the cloak of Luthien's hair? The Circles of the World?

Radagast The Brown · 04-09-2004, 04:40 PM

No.

Ok - I may have misled you. It's a certain star, or group of stars.

Is it the one constellation... the seven stars? I think they make a scythe or something???

brownjenkins · 04-09-2004, 04:46 PM

the sickle of the valar?

Radagast The Brown · 04-09-2004, 04:47 PM

No...

Edit - No to brownjenkins too.
