The Riddle Thread
Permalink Closed

Time to see who's really intelligent around here. In light of the "Circle" thread, I thought I'd dedicate one to riddles. I've always loved them because they make you think outside the norm. A few ground rules though:


1. You can only submit a riddle if you solve the previous one.


2. Riddles must be in english (preferably in bold type)


3. You must know the answer to the riddle you post. Let's say you have to post it within 3 days. Otherwise the thread will dissappear


I'll begin with an easy one. Well, easy if you're well read...


 


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

It has cities, but no houses,


It has forests, but no trees,


It has rivers, but no fish


It has mountains, but no sky.
