I forgot about this enigma / riddle and am completely lost in all the different discussions - did the cabin problem ever get solved?? It is kind of frustrating to have given up / got lost part way through ......
Thanks.....

Great - it din't get solved so we can all keep on guessing (or trying to reason if you prefer). I asked a while back if the weather conditions at the time were important, which can be answered "yes or no".
I would still like to know if it was the type of cabin that people lived in?

Yes. I was able to answer the question in message 96. It was that the people died from an airplane crash. The "cabin that was found below a mountain" was really an airplane cabin.

It's Nothing! :)

I found this one in a book I read called , 'Monsterology'. it describes an ancient creature who has supposedly survived many centuries.

My first is in sausage but not in meat,
my second is in pretty but not in neat.
My third is in chance but not in risk,
my fourth is in circle and also in disk.
My fifth is in sun but not in sky
my last is a kiss, so what am I?

Answer?

Yep!
The Sphinx loved to eat human meat but would let it's pray go if they could answer it's riddles correctly.
If the human answered incorrectly, the sphinx would eat them. Charming. :|

Very funny! But (to be pedantic) just because one has no legs doesn't mean that you are still (heart beating, eyes moving).

[Carrie]

OK - easy one but topical, at least here. Also to be found set to music by Steeleye Span, for those of us old enough to remember them (I hope I remembered the words right!)

White bird featherless
Flew from Paradise
Lit on the castle wall
Along came Lord Landless
Picked it up handless
Rode away horseless
To the king's white hall

Dead right. Maybe you ought to set up a "riddles in books" discussion group for pointless pastimes like riddles, enigmas and cheesy jokes.

[[deleted user]]

My life can be measured in hours,
I serve by being devoured.
Thin, I am quick
Fat, I am slow
Wind is my foe
