10-Dictated

[jimfromit]

Saay I've got a fabulous idea whilst we're waiting for the next "crazy" thing to happen around here...a brain teaser!

Lets see which one of you brainiacs can solve this riddle the quickest.

For some I go fast
for others I'm slow.
To most people, I'm an obsession
relying on me is a well practiced lesson.

Go on...a little intellectual stimulation hurts nobody.

[payback]

Hehe, I guess it is.

[jimfromit]

Indeed.

I could give you another...if you're not bored of them that is?

[payback]

Sure, try me.

[jimfromit]

Lets see, let's see.

I am taken from a mine, and shut up in a wooden case, from which I am never released, and yet I am used by almost everybody.

[payback]

[There's a long pause, so much it seems like she might have just gone away, because that's a harder one. But eventually:]

Um... a light? [She's thinking like a candle in a lantern or something, here. Well, he didn't say it wasn't something that was taken down into a mine by somebody first...]

[jimfromit]

Wrong.

It's pencil lead.

[payback]

Oh, so the case is the wood around the pencil?

[jimfromit]

Now you get it.

The devil is in the detail.

[payback]

That's just the way with these things! Do you want another one?

[jimfromit]

Oh ok then, one more for the road.

If I do this all day the novelty will wear thin.

[payback]

Mm, one more then. What flies but never leaves the ground and swims without getting wet?

Genuinely baffled by this one.

[jimfromit]

Oh that’s slightly more tricky.

I'll say a shadow...maybe even a birds shadow?

good show though OwO

[payback]

That's right! [A bit of a giggle.] That one's from Libet.

[jimfromit]

Hmm yes I have enjoyed this little mental exercise.

What is your name young lady?

[payback]

I'm Rin. Who are you?

[jimfromit]

My name's Jim.

It's nice to speak with a fellow puzzle lover.

[payback]

Mm! If you want to swap some more riddles later, let's.

[jimfromit]

I'd be delighted.

[payback]

[It's a date. or something.]
