    Gollum’s Riddle

    Section: Brain Teasers Category: Riddle Difficulty: Medium

    This thing all things devours,
    Birds, beasts, trees, flowers,
    Gnaws iron, bites steel,
    Grinds hard stones to meal,
    Slays king, ruins town,
    And beats mountain down.

    SOLUTION

    The answer is TIME.
