Riddles

Which character(s) had the best riddles or questions?
I think Merlin had some good ones and Doorkis had some really funny ones such as.
Gallstones from Gallway bay
The Holy grail in Westminster Abbey (May have Dooris)
Paddi fields in Ireland
Manx cat coming from Manchester and having its tail cut off after birth
Henry VIII with 9 wives
Golgarach's Tokein questions were good as well.

My favourite set was the threesome offered by Golgarach in Series 3, the final one being something along the lines of 'Which is bigger, a large ocean or a saucer of water'? Thinking it was a trick question, the team answered the saucer, at which point Golgarach said 'Falsehood- of course the ocean is bigger!'!

...am dragging up a topic from three years ago because I CAN! Heee.
Did anyone else used to gulp cheat at the riddles in the books? I used to get SO frustrated when I didn't know the answers... I only cheated in the Sorceror's Isle, but now I feel so ashamed - I can never get that experience back, sob!

Lol! That's one of those things that has stuck with me too! Me and my mum know some really obscure things thanks to the early KM and book riddles! (btw, my username is an early KM quote which still makes me and my mum fall about laughing!)

What do you reckon was the dumbest riddle asked in the entire series?
I'd say Door-is' little gem, "A female gladiator is called Gladys; True or False?" closely followed by Motley with, "I've got a frog leg in this hand and another frog leg in this hand; what have I got?"
Any other candidates?

I liked Motleys frogs legs question, simply because its so simple.
Elitas hahaha hehehe to Alexs team in series 5 was funny (I can't remember the exact quote,) simply because the team took ages to realise they needed to use the spell on her.
Series 4, team 1, Helen, James, Rachel and Craig from Tyne and Wear:
The Quest for the Cup : Duration 43mins, was good when they gave Fatilla some gold and convinced him he could eat it.

"Which is deeper - the ocean or a saucer of water?"
I know where you're coming from with that one, but if you look at it in the context of the previous two riddles in the challenge, it was actually a rather clever trap.
The first two questions both had answers that were the opposite of what you would probably expect at first glance. That got the team into the mindset to go for the least obvious answer every time, and so of course they were undone by it.
-
The first riddle went something on the lines of, "Who is stronger? The warrior or the scribe?" (Answer; the scribe, for the pen is mightier than the sword.)
The second was, "Which is easier to carry? A lead vase or a feather in the wind?" (Answer: a lead vase, because you can't even catch a feather in the wind.)
The dungeoneer was Kelly from team 7 season 3, and the wall monster was Golgarach.

I'm not sure about the most stupid but definently the most stupidly hard had to be one of Owen the Dragon's!
"What is the largest Ring in the Land?"
I think the answer was meant to be Ascot (The Horse Racing Track) which is a little bit unfair! Haven't watched it for a while though so not sure if this is exactly how it was said!

Ah, yes, the infamous Series 3 Level 3 riddles....
You've actually got them slightly mixed up somehow.
In Leo's quest (Team 4) it was the gargoyle who asked what the largest ring in the land was, and the answer happened to be "Avebury".
In Martin's quest (Team 11) Owen the dragon asked what the likes of the stag and deer hunter were, to which the answer was "Beetle".
Hope that helps.
LATER EDIT: modified to accommodate the actual correct answer.
