The ring of standing stones at Avebury is actually quite famous, so I think it was a fair enough riddle to include.

A Fair enough Riddle to incude but a "YOU MUST GET RIGHT OR FAIL" is harsh in comaprison to other series Level 3's! Series 3 was definently the hardest Level 3 in all the series!

The answer to the ring riddle is Avebury, which is a village in Wiltshire that is completely surrounded by a ring of standing stones.

Ah, that be it!

Still harsh that had to get that 1 question correct, otherwise you failed the entire quest!

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.

"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!

"What does an elephant forget?"

Granted, it was a trick question (as an elephant never forgets), but the fact the team did not know and as a result died at the end of Level 2, I personally found that to be a bit embarrassing.

And despite getting 2 out of 3 right, they didn't have an obvious hint on what to take.

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.

"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.

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.

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?

Also, I think I've taken some of the books too seriously. I yell at all my friends when they try and wear a green top with their jeans "because green and blue will never do!"

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!

What do you think of Oakley's 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.

I wonder what a winning team in series 1 or 3 would have looked like.

Human probably  ;D
