A ship? *completely confused*

Lostgaeriel · 01-07-2003, 12:34 PM

Yep! You're completely correct. You ask one now.

Manwe · 01-10-2003, 06:42 AM

Here's one again, I now it was some time since I last posted, but I'll try to write more often.

I am the begining,
I am the end,
I don't come in day,
niether in night,
my appearance is shining bright,
my brother is on the other side,
and what I show does he hide,
what am I?

Lostgaeriel · 01-10-2003, 05:08 PM

To cut down on confusion, I'll include the riddle I'm answering.

Quote:

I am the beginning,
I am the end,
I don't come in day,
Neither in night,
My appearance is shining bright,
My brother is on the other side,
And what I show does he hide.
What am I?

This looks like another astronomical riddle to me. Is it the terminator - the line dividing the light from the dark part of the moon or a planet (such as Earth)? *shrugs*

No, that's not correct, and it isn't astronomical.

Manwe · 01-21-2003, 04:40 AM

Please, anyone, try this riddle.

Manwe · 01-21-2003, 04:48 AM

If it's to hard, post and I'll give you a clue.

Lostgaeriel · 01-22-2003, 12:12 AM

Hi Manwë!

I've been trying to come up with the answer and I'm still stumped. I don't expect another hint - you already gave me a hint as to what it's not - but I'd like one all the same.

Manwe · 01-22-2003, 04:35 AM

It´s a certain time that is called something.

correction: it´s rather a moment.

The dawn?

Lostgaeriel · 01-22-2003, 09:35 PM

Ultimatejoe's answer seems to fit the riddle. But if that's the correct answer, I'm a little put out [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] , because then the riddle was in fact astronomical, and I was on the right track. (If the concept of TIME Z

Lostgaeriel · 02-05-2003, 06:01 PM

Something's gone cukoo with my previous post and I can't edit it or delete it. So I'll try to restore it.

I recall Manwë replying to my post confirming Unltimatejoe had the correct answer. His post is seemingly lost forever.

But if that's the correct answer, I'm a little put out [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img], because then the riddle was in fact astronomical, and I was on the right track. If the concept of time isn't astronomical (the science of heavenly bodies), I don't know what is. The study of the heavens began as a way of developing calendars for growing crops.

My answer was the moving location of the boundaries between night and day on a planet or moon. That is the location of dawn or sunrise (the answer) and dusk or sunset (its brother). Exact words are critical in answering riddles. I had the sense of the riddle but answered with a word describing location rather than one describing the time.

OK, enough of my hurt ego and the school lesson.

Play on, Ultimate Joe - I'm sure Manwë did confirm.

Manwe · 02-06-2003, 01:01 PM

Hey, where is my post?
What I said was that Ultimatejoe was correct, however the post disappeard, strange. I'll post a new riddle as soon as I come up with one.

Lostgaeriel · 02-13-2003, 01:25 AM

But Manwe, it's Ultimatejoe's turn to pose one. Them's the rules in the Quiz room. There has to be some reward for answering correctly! Otherwise no one would play. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

And raci is still owed a turn to ask a riddle. He/She answered my riddle at the top of this page January 7/03.

Have Private Messaged both of them.
