Prof. Templeton Posted September 20, 2008 Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 If the first of me is lost, than the battle can't be won. If its arrived at, than the fighting is not done. It is where the waters have begun. My second is not much, I will confess. The smallest things that you could ever guess. All of those and still my second's less. If my whole is had, than surely you are dead. Else much of you in legends will be said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typo only (spellcheck doesn't catch that kind of stuff). Is it The point of no return? No. It's one word with two parts, a first and second.

0 Prof. Templeton Posted September 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 Iceberg? Nope. But I'am curious how you got to that. Groundzero? I can understand the zero part, although ground doesn't fit very well. The second part of the word is not "zero" . After a lot of thinking and rereading it, this is what I come up with (nicely put together btw) Thank You. electric charge? Or something to do with the electricity "If my whole is had, than surely you are dead"- when you close the electric circuit you are dead (well if you are connected to it somehow) No. Not electricity. You need to break the word down into it's two parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 grey cells Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 Nope. But I'am curious how you got to that. was fishing for answers. But on a serious note, I thought of that answer mainly because of the following lines. If the first of me is lost, than the battle can't be won. If its arrived at, than the fighting is not done. It is where the waters have begun. - Rivers are known to originate from Glaciers. My second is not much, I will confess. The smallest things that you could ever guess. All of those and still my second's less. If my whole is had, than surely you are dead. - I was thinking of the Titanic ship. Else much of you in legends will be said. - Again Titanic. Doesn't agree with all the lines, again a beautifully worded riddle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
