Title: Everyone knows me... Post by anon on Feb 19th, 2003, 2:33am Everyone knows me. Once it is rumored a man drank his fill of me (much to his reget). I am found on the highest mountains and the deepest rivers. What flame, or, flower, or fish can tell. I am worshiped and cursed, Loved and lost, pure and corrupt, black and white. I am animal, vegetable, mineral. What am I? //Title changed by moderator// |

Title: Re: hard riddle Post by aero_guy on Feb 19th, 2003, 9:30am OK, I don't know what you mean by: What flame, or, flower, or fish can tell. Also, my answer doesn't seem to fit with: I am animal, vegetable, mineral. But otherwise I think the answer is: [hide]gold[/hide] |

Title: Re: hard riddle Post by anon on Feb 19th, 2003, 9:42pm correct - what golden flame, marigold (type of flower), of goldfish can tell. Crassus and Montazuma died of poisoning by drinking liquid gold. |

I don't think it was poisoning. Sounds more like burns. When was aqia regii invented? |

Do you mean aqua regia? I only know that this solvent was already known in the Middle Ages. |
