Redwall Riddles!

This is a general discussion thread on the topic of Redwall riddles, one of my favourite parts of the series. Feel free to say anything on here, as long as it's on topic. Have fun!

Riddles! One of the best parts of the series! Here's a question for all y'all: how many of the riddles were you able to solve before the characters did? I think I got part of one in Taggerung... must look it up now. 

[Taggerung_of_Redwall]

Good question. I got most of the Rakkety Tam ones, and a couple in The Taggerung. And a couple in Triss.
Redwall had the most original, and were defiantly some of the best to think over as you were reading.

The riddles are usually easy for me, sometimes I'll figure one out right after reading it and then wonder how the characters haven't thought of it yet! Though sometimes there are some tricky ones.

The Pearls of Lutra had lots of great riddles...

[Matthias720]

I found the riddles in The Rouge Crew to be the easiest. Not exactly sure why that is, though. *shrugs*

[Redwall Musician]

I solved one in High Rhulain. I was too busy reading it to give it much thought though.

[Songbreeze]

I've figured out very few actually. I like this one:

"What is under the water and over the water but never gets wet?" (from Outcast of Redwall)

does anyone know that one? (it was in actually a couple books!)

An egg in a duck's belly!

....I never did understand that one. o_0

I got one in the Pearls of Lutra (the one which the answer is barrel) and High Rhulain (the one that has the whole bunch of letters, like when there's a q there's a u or two or something like that..).

"Seek the Founder in the stone, where the little folk go."

[Redwall Musician]

ants, even Rollo knew that.

"Seek the Founder in the stone, where the little folk go."

That's another one I definitely didn't get.

What is your favourite riddle in the series? The little folk one was good, but my favourite was "I-am that is".

That one is my favorite, too, for obvious reasons.

Everything from the Pearls of Lutra - good riddles, those, and Piknim and Craklyn were great - and the Long Patrol, where they discover Verdauga's treasure. That was awesome.
