The riddle-game is sacred and of immense antiquity. Even wicked creatures are afraid to cheat. Bilbo Baggins, a Hobbit from the shire, and Old Gollum, a creature that lived deep down in the bowels of the Misty Mountains, once played this ancient riddle-game. Bilbo would either win his freedom from the Goblin's realm or become Gollum's next meal. The riddles they used might also lead you in the correct direction to find this cache.

Gollum: What has roots as nobody sees, is taller than trees, up, up it goes and yet never grows?

Bilbo: Thirty white horses on a red hill, first they champ, then they stamp, then they stand still.

Gollum: Voiceless it cries, wingless flutters, toothless bites, mouthless mutters.

Bilbo: An eye in a blue face saw an eye in a green face. "That eye is like to this eye" said the first eye, "But in low place not in high place."

Gollum: It cannot be seen, cannot be felt, cannot be heard, cannot be smelt. It lies behind stars and under hills, and empty holes it fills. It comes first and follows after, ends life, kills laughter.

Bilbo: No legs lay on one leg; two-legs sat near on three-legs; four legs got some.

Gollum: Alive without breath, as cold as death; never thirsty, ever drinking, all in mail never clinking.

Bilbo: A box without hinges, key, or lid; yet golden treasure inside is hid.

Gollum: This thing all things devours: Birds, beasts, trees, flowers; gnaws iron, bites steel; grinds hard stones to meal; slays king, ruins town and beats high mountain down.

Bilbo: What have I got in my pocket?
