Bilbo cheated on the riddle game? I disagree. There have been discussions of this in the past, and if I remember rightly, it was generally agreed that when Gollum accepted the question, he brought forth no objection, thereby making it "official". As a matter of fact, there may be a reference to this in the Letters - I'll check and come back later.
