Story 53: Riddle(s) of the Sphinx

“Riddles are hard! Even Tolkien.”The Sphinx arrives from a distant land, which means it’s time for a battle of wits! DJ (he/him) challenges the listeners to a riddle contest. Darien (she/her) did not come prepared. Other topics include conspiracies surrounding ancient sculpture techniques, math tricks for solving riddles, Darien’s favorite riddle answers, and how “What is in my pocket?” is absolutely not a riddle—and that’s okay.
