GOLLUM RIDDLES

Voiceless it cries,
Wingless flutters,
Toothless bites,
Mouthless mutters.

This is a thing that is devoured by all things; flowers, trees, beasts, birds; bites steel, gnaws iron; grinds hard stone to meal; beats mountain down, ruins town and slays king. What is it?

This thing all things devours:
Birds, beasts, trees, flowers;
Gnaws iron, bites steel;
Grinds hard stones to meal;
Slays king, ruins town,
And beats high mountain down.

No-legs lay on one-leg,
Two-legs sat near on three-legs,
Four-legs got some.

Alive without breath,
As cold as death;
Never thirsty, ever drinking,
All in mail never clinking.

A box without hinges, key, or lid,
yet golden treasure inside is hid.

It cannot be seen, cannot be felt,
Cannot be heard, cannot be smelt.
It lies behind stars and under hills,
And empty holes it fills.
It comes first and follows after,
Ends life, kills laughter.

An eye in a blue face
Saw an eye in a green face.
That eye is like to this eye
Said the first eye,
but in low place
Not in high place.

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

Anyone whos gotten lost in Middle Earth knows that J.R.R. Tolkien loved a logic puzzle. The riddle competition between Bilbo Baggins and Gollum in The Hobbit serves up the trickiest riddle of which is:

Voiceless it cries,
Wingless flutters,
Toothless bites,
Mouthless mutters?

What has roots as nobody sees,
Is taller than trees,
Up, up it goes,
And yet never grows?
