I obviously don't remember it.

I think it's one of these: water, sea or ice... I'm probably wrong.. but it's worth a shot

Water sea or ice? Alive without breathe? All in mail never clinking? Not really, but you ARE aiming in the right direction. You are pretty close NewOrder.

Oh yeah, this one. I remember it!

Burn this book!!!

This only happens one chapter.

Burn this book!!!

I really wouldn't want to stay at a place where books are burned! I can understand the librarian in the movie "The day after tomorrow" though it was a special case there.

The riddle is not that fishy and difficult. Just think about it.

Is it fish? algie? coral? (ok.. I'm probably several degrees below zero with this shot)

Petrie · **Reply #48 on:** November 06, 2004, 06:01:09 PM

That was a joke Malte.

: I didn't honestly want you to burn the book but I just was expressing my difficulty of finding out the answer.

Not at all NewOrder! Actually "fish" was the correct answer.
I didn't think that you were serious about burning the book Arvens, but indeed I should have made plainer that I didn't when I expressed my dislike of the idea of books being burned.

Fish? I would have never guessed that

Then the questioner would have accomplished his task.

Although, given the circumstances, you might have gotten it.

You mean the circumstances the character in the book is in WeirdRaptor? I don't think they would make things much easier for the guesser. Anyway, here is the next one:

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

One remark, the last line of the riddle is scientifically incorrect.

NewOrder · **Reply #54 on:** November 08, 2004, 05:50:39 PM

Weeee I got it it right =p
Hmm... mountain? iceberg?

WeirdRaptor · **Reply #55 on:** November 09, 2004, 04:59:45 AM

Yep. A mountain.

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

Threehorn · **Reply #56 on:** November 09, 2004, 05:14:27 AM

wow wouldn't have guessed that

The 'riddler' was very clever.

Threehorn · **Reply #58 on:** November 09, 2004, 07:06:23 PM
