King Khalzol's kingdom is long gone.
Take five steps to the site of his grave:
The first means to think over,
The second is over your thoughts,
The third means one of something,
The last must be stronger then anything,
The whole reveals everything.

Now tell me, why did King Khalzol's subjects bury him in a copper coffin?


wow.. that means .. wow
:wtf:

You're right! :D
(It's a trick question, but there is a riddle in the first part which I will now explain by quoting the relevent text from ElfSong by Elaine Cunningham.)

Quote
What is it to mull but to think over?
Speaking quite literally, what lies over men's thoughts but their hair?
The word 'a' means one of something, as in 'a pomegranate.'
A hold, or fortress, must be stronger then any force brought against it.
Put together, one obtains the site of King Khalzol's grave: Mulharahold, a city to the south of the Mountains of Copper. The copper coffin, of course, is the clue that confirms the conundrum's answer.


The above connundrum has nothing to do with why they buried him in a copper coffin, thus it could trick a Riddlemaster who gets distracted by the extra stuff into giving the above, but wrong, answer. :)

I got one I got one! Actually I have a lot... we'll start with an easier one:

Captain Frank and Professor Quantum played Chess. They played seven games, each won the same number of games, and there weren't any draws or stalemates. How could this have happened?

Nice, nice. Heres another... a little tougher.

If it takes six men six days to dig six holes, how long would it take one man to dig a half a hole?
