I realise I'm being quite cagey here, but, like... the entire riddle hangs together. If I over-hint at one line, it'll make the others redundant. It's tricky to balance. hS EDIT: Riddle & notes for the new page: "Okay, so let's go this way: Take four coins, add another one or two, A ruler born, a ruler made, a ruler over stream, Visit York, Lancaster, take a horse and you Will find in the end a helper's hopeful dream. Here are some questions that might run through my head if I was seeing this riddle for the first time: -What coin would you have four of? Why would you add one or two? One or two what? -What's a ruler? How do you make a ruler? Why would you have three? Is the third one 'over stream' from the other two? -What do York and Lancaster have in common? What's the connection to a horse? -Who is the helper? Who or what did they hope for? Is the dream literal? -Are there any elements in my answers to the above that string together to point at one person, place, or thing in Middle-earth?" |
