Is it specifically the part of the Riddle Game where Gollum has to find the answer to the egg riddle?

Long will you think ere the elderly's lesson
Comes to your mind to continue the session -Gollum was stymied by the seemingly easy riddle, until he recalled a long-ago memory of (literally) teaching his grandmother to suck eggs.
Puzzle me out, do as you are bid
You may find the answer, but treasure stays hid. -He answered that riddle correctly, but could not find the treasure *he* cared about- the Ring.

Edit: x'd with the last few posts- may have been answered already.
