Re: Weekly Riddle Contest
Travelers of the Kingdoms, I give to you my first riddle of the realms solve it if you might and prove to others you truely value wits.
This riddle is titled the Wizards Hat.
The three wisest wizards in the land were brought before the king to see which of them were worthy to become the king's greatest wizard in the kingdom. After passing many tests of cunning and invention, they were pitted against each other in a final battle of the wits.
Led blind-folded into a small room, the wizards were seated around a small wooden table as the king described the test for them.
"Upon each of your heads I have placed a hat. Now you are either wearing a blue hat or a white hat. All I will tell you is this- at least one of you is wearing a blue hat. There may be only one blue hat and two white hats, there may be two blue hats and one white hat, or there may be three blue hats. But you may be certain that there are not three white hats."
"I will shortly remove your blind folds, and the test will begin. The first to correctly announce the colour of his hat shall be my advisor. Be warned however, he who guesses wrongly shall be beheaded. If not one of you answers within the hour, you will be sent home and I will seek elsewhere for wisdom."
With that, the king uncovered the wizards' eyes and sat in the corner and waited. One wizard looked around and saw that his competitors each were wearing blue hats. From the look in their eyes he could see their thoughts were the same as his, "What is the colour of my hat?"
For what seemed like hours no one spoke. Finally the wizard stood up and said, "The colour of the hat I am wearing is . . ."

Re: Weekly Riddle Contest
My second riddle I give to you, finding me may not be as easy, but the rewards are more.
I am the black child of a white father;
A wingless bird, flying even to the clouds of heaven.
I give birth to tears of mourning in pupils that meet me,
and at once on my birth I am dissolved into air.
What am I?

A date?
Seek ye victory? Ye shall eventually find defeat.
Seek ye defeat? Ye shall most certainly find it.
Seek ye nothing? Then all ye can find is victory.

I was going to say a *OOPS* didn't know I wasn't suppose to guess on here. But now I kind of want to say condom, after Zorinar's answer.

I figured your guess was a joke, but all guesses should be directed ICly.
