* RIDDLES (ANOTHER DIMENSION OF Q-(UESTIONS))

Hi Friends!
                In this busy world, people do not bother about one's talk in the sense that they do not get any interesting thing to hear about. But here comes the play of riddles, yes Riddles.
What is it?

If you want to increase a conversation or to taunt someone or embarrass because they have once did it with you then Riddles are most effective here. But riddles are not only to embarrass someone you don't like but its a way to get more effective in real life and knowing things clear if it is a bit twisted. 
A way of learning in a more interesting way. Here, I am not talking about the study we did in school , or in college but questions twisted which have simple answers always.

Riddles
           It is a statement or question or phrase having double or veiled meaning, put forth as a puzzle to be solved.

There are infinite riddle question in this world but the riddle which i am about to write is from The Lord of the Rings series (The Hobbit-An Unexpected Journey).
Adventure

While seeing the movie we come to a scene where GOLLUM and BILBO (The Hobbit) had a deal.  They  have to play a game in which if Bilbo wins, Gollum will show hobbit the path to the exit of the mountains and if Gollum wins then he will eat Bilbo, whole.
