It's not grass, a fence, a wall, a slope, or a horizon. So I'm stumped. And there's nowhere to click for the answer! I'll never be able to rest now. :p

I know! I thought it might be "forest" or "trees" because you can have a stand of trees on a hill... but alas, no. Gollum squeezed me! :( :eek:

Now I'm on the fifth...does anyone have any ideas?
edit: ah, got it...six is very strange..not sure what it's answer is yet
p.s. got it...now i'm on #8

Numbers 2-4 were simple. 1 seems the hardest. Now I'm on 6, which is weird.

I've gotta hand it to Bilbo. :D

Here's the answers:
4: shoe
5: stars
6: fire

Why did Entmoot's spoiler feature change? It used to be a grey bar you had to highlight to read the grey text in it. Now it's just an Enter key and slight indent in plain view.

Um....it's still a grey bar you have to highlight...at least for me...
here's 7:ship
8:candle
9:glove
#10 is the last one, so I think people should be able to find it themselves....it's not really hard. So, good luck!! :D

It depends on your webbrowser. Firefox, for one, shows the spoilered text like plain text while Internet Explorer doesn't.

I figured out 4,5 and 6 all on my own. I'm so proud of myself. :D :rolleyes:

...and still can't get #7. :p I take back what I said about 1, because this is clearly the hardest...

Finally! By Iluvatar! I've been pondering the answers to this stupid game all day long. But, I finally did it. I solved ever single riddle without any hint except for number one- I accidentally saw the answer. But, I had already tried "path" so I pretty much had the right idea. I thought the hardest one was 9, but 7 and 8 took me a while too. All the rest I got pretty much right away.

I think this thing took a couple of years off my life though. Wise were Spock's warnings of high blood pressure. He shall be known as Spock the sagacious hence.
