[wizy123]

ok i was thinking about how you have to get into the ravenclaw common room and i think i wanna try a little test to check how smart all of us are... ok heres the rules
1)you must make a riddle and place it on the forum.
2)wait a few days of a few posts to see who tried to answer it. now you can ether PM the awnser to them or post it WHITED OUT on the forum.
3)when you awnser a riddle you also have to try to make one. just try, this is just to get your brain working.
4)no limit to how many you do just have fun.
5)try not to have other conversation. i dont mind a little but we cannt have too much... ok ill start,

answer: <span class="ev_code_WHITE">a cloud?</span>

ok. Let's see....

an orb I may be
not solid, nor liquid, nor gas,
perhaps a mixture of all, but don't be sure,
I give you your light, I give you your life,
warmth, heat, light, and vitamins are my gifts to you.
half of your life you shall not see me,
the other half you dare not look.

What does man love more than life,
Fear more than death or mortal strife,
What the poor have, the rich require,
And what contented men desire,
What misers spend, and spendthrifts save,
And all men carry to the grave?

[Dragon Writer]

what has eyes, but can not see?
what has a toung, but does not speak?
what has a soul, but has no life?

Been reading Babylon 5 books, by any chance? :-)

Alive without breath,
As cold as death,
Never thirsting,
Ever drinking,
Clad in mail never clinking.

give me somthing warm
give me somthing sweet
with all your heart
only you can give
what is this thing.

in walls as white as milk
with skin smooth or rough
if you look inside
a golden prize you'll find
but as hard as you want
theirs only one- way to get in
you have to breack it open
and let out what it held so dear

TO EARLYER RIDDLE: CLOUD, SMOKE

GUYS YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER TO AWNSER YOUR OWN RIDDLES SO PEOPLE CAN MAKE SURE THAT THEY KNOW IF IT IS RIGHT OR WRONG. K. GREAT JOB ON THE RIDDLES THOUGH THEY ARE REALLY GOOD.

The longer she stands
the shorter she grows
with a white petticoat
and a red nose...(anybody familiar with old Mother Goose rhymes?)

[Dragon Writer]

<span class="ev_code_white">um....a snow woman? it WOULD melt the longer it stood there, it could be given a red nose, and it would be all white...</span>

what is bound, but yet spellbinds others?
delivers a message, but never doth speak?
to unbind it is your folly, and its own loss,
in solids it may deteriorate,
but in memory last forever.
