Sphinx, meet technology.
It sucks to be a modern day Sphinx. Not just because every riddle in the world is accessible by a smart phone. But also because nobody needs to ask the Sphinx anything anymore. Because smart phones.
Java looks so happy his pet is trouncing the riddle challenge.
That’s why you always bring a nerd on the dungeon crawl!
So the next step must be “What’s in my pocket?”, or its like.
Gotta avoid that copyright thing after all…
“what do I have in my pocket?”
“I don’t know, where are your clothes?”
He will be so surprised, he will ask, “What is that?”, and with it, they both introduce the Sphinx to the modern technology, the internet, and answer the last “riddle”. This is my guess.
Only works if he had it in his pocket. (heh!)
Hm. Riddles.
“I stand unseen before your eyes, only known to a touch.”
Glass?
Good try! hat I have in mind is unseen even than that – no reflection.
That wasn’t typed right. What I have in mind is even more unseen even than that is what I meant.
Wind?
The answer was ‘air’ but I will accept ‘wind’. Well done. 🙂
That’s a good riddle!
What kind of “wind”?
I suppose I’ll do one too:
In a minute, in a second
If you’ve got it, someone lent it
Find it keep it pass it on
F#Nd it k##p it p### it on
Trapped forever in a song.
My guess is ‘music’, or possibly ‘a musical note’.
I will also wager a guess on ‘time’. I’m honouring the tradition of ‘up to three guesses’ so those are all the guesses from me.
I’m thinking “memory.” I’m just not sure about the line with the hashtags and wonder if there is some significance to that upper case N.
Close on both counts! It’s an earworm!
Alright. Matt and SVGeezer, you haven’t had a turn at riddling yet…?
