Geocache Description:

I Once Was A Seed, But Now I have Bloomed,
The Fall Has Left Me Naked, But Spring Is Comming Soon.

Riddles are the oldest guessing game in the world, and probably the most widespread. In many parts of the world they have been and still are a favorite game at family and communal gatherings, and there are riddles in the Bible, the Koran, the Torah and the Hindu 'Rig-Veda'. At ancient Greek banquets, the top riddle-solvers were crowned with laurel. In the Fiji islands teams were picked for riddle tournaments, with the losers laying on a feast for the winners. In Turkey girls test the wits of their suitors with riddles, choosing the winner for their husbands. Among some African tribes riddling is part of the rites of passage from youth to adulthood.

So riddles have been used traditionally both as entertainment and as tests of some kind.

In Western culture riddles stayed alive in the oral tradition but also moved into books. Voltaire, Cervantes, Goethe and Dickens all wrote riddles, and riddles appear in The Hobbit, Harry Potter and the movie 'Hook'. Nowadays we tend to regard them as something that children do, which is a pity, for riddles can be enjoyed by everyone, and are an excellent exercise for the mind.

Once again i have concocted yet another series for the Cape Fear Region! But this time its my alter ego doing the madness!! This series is based off my favorite evil villain, "The Riddler" ! ! Known for his purple domino mask and green, question mark-covered costume, either as a skintight catsuit or a business suit and bowler hat, the Riddler is obsessed with riddles, puzzles, and word games. He delights in forewarning cachers of his caches by sending them complex clues. In this one there will be a riddle in the cache. Ofcourse now you must find the cache, if you think you can, and answer the riddle correctly in order to get a smiley for these. Please e-mail myself the answer before loggin it. In the first 5 riddles you may find nothing to hard but maybe the riddle itself! 6-10 on the other hand will contain a harder riddle and a puzzle for the REAL coordinates! Good Luck! and Have Fun ! !
