Solve This Riddle


 The beginning of eternity, 
The end of time and space, 
The beginning of every end, 
And the end of every place

  1. The answer is the letter 'e'. And this, to me, was bad because there was no real point to the post. Also, this kind of riddle is so common. There is the same thing with 'm' and with 'w', and probably other letters. And although entertaining, there was really no reason in putting this post on the blog. The reader knows the answer from the start and there is nothing learned from it. Therefore because there is nothing to get from it, it is bad literature.

  2. I chose this passage because it makes people think outside-the-box. Usually, when people look at this poem, they think of something that has to do with big picture things, like time and space, body and mind, etc. Others, who are good at thinking outside the box, might think about the bigger picture, but span outwards and try to find literal meanings. Eventuallym, they figure out that the letter "e" is the correct answer. When the average person looks at answer, he/she finally gets it, and becomes a better outside-the-box thinker. This is very important in the real world because a good thinker is a good problem solver, and a good problem solver usually gets the better job. Therefore, this poem is valid on this blog because it is a riddle poem, which helps you become smarter.

  3. well i think its is not "e" because of one BIG fact in the last line.
    It states" And the end of everY place"
    the word Every ends in the letter Y not E like everyone on the sifi or fantacy post i made and i was the only one who thought it was fanticy.
    There fore the answer is not e but some would guess that.

  4. This is a place to post ORIGINAL pieces of writing. So if your going to post someone else's poem, make it a less common one. Also, ahidkagoodname, it is the letter E because its the end of every placE.
    not the end of everY.

  5. I agree with Rory. this is a very common riddle. it would be better if it was an original riddle rather than one being copied and pasted.

  6. I agree with Kiki because this riddle was already on the horvath report when we were sharing the riddles we found and there were a lot of riddles like that one like what rory said first but i like your idea you were trying to show us just next time make your own like that.

  7. i think this is an okay riddle because if you overthink about it then its hard to figure out. But like Rachel said this riddle was pretty much already on the horvath report so its really not that original....but other than that i think it was ok

  8. The answer to this riddle was easy to figure out because I have heard many riddles like it that are the same answer where the answer is a letter. This reallt did not make me "think out of the box" like you (Zach)said before because it has been told so many times by now it should be considered common sense to know it. It isn't original or creative, so I think that something to take into consideration when posting something next time would be maybe com up with your own riddle. Therefore, I did not enjoy reading this becuase it was not original or something to really think about.

  9. I thought this was a bad piece of writing. I thought this was a bad piece of writing because it's a common riddle that many people have probably. This writing blog is for original writing pieces only. Therefore I find this a bad writing piece because its easy to figure out and not original

  10. I figured out this riddle easily since it was already on the Horvath report, but the answer was 'W'. This was a good riddle, but it was not creative.

  11. I agree with everyone, this a place for orgiginal writing, not a common poem written by someone else. And Brittany the answer is not "w" its "E"

  12. To me this means that at every end, there is a beginning. Whenever something ends, a whole new thing is born again. It's like a circle, it never ends. theres always ends but there isn't a final end because it will be followed by another beginning.

  13. This would be a good riddle if they weren't so overdone. I think if you change this into a poem with a stronger meaning rather than a riddle that has been done before it would be a lot better because people would have to think about the meaning/answer it wouldn't just be right on the surface. So I don't think this piece is that good because it's been used before and people know the answer without even having to look.

  14. I also think you should have posted an original piece of writing rather than a riddle. it was very easy to figure out because many people have posted riddles like this. It is a well known riddle, so a lot of us have heard a poem similar to this one. Therefore, you should post original pieces of writing instead of riddles.

  15. I think that this was a good riddle because its very intresting and makes you think.For example it says,"The beginning of eternity, The end of time and space,"There fore this shows that this is an intrestin riddle because that line makes me think.
