Just for Fun...Riddle me this

This one should be pretty easy.

A box without hinges, key, or lid,
Yet golden treasure inside is hid.

What am I?

Who can be the first to get it right?

Pot of gold?


ETA: I guess not, it says it is a box of some sorts.

a reply to: iTruthSeeker


Not the answer I was looking for, but a great answer nevertheless!

Did you know it already or google it?

I just googled it, and it came up with some Tolkien sites, so perhaps if someone has read some of his stuff, it could have helped. I have a bunch of these saved for playing Dungeons and Dragons, and I pulled this one out.

It's been around awhile...

Good one though..

I was gonna say beehive.

Honey is golden, egg yoke is yellow.

I was confused how an egg could be associated with a box..until I found this:

Square Eggs




and now my world is right again..

I actually like that answer better than an egg!

a reply to: Tekaran

That was the answer back in olden days. Egg works too.

a reply to: Tekaran
never would of guessed any of these, egg, beehive, etc.. to me a box is square..?

.. or the mind

(thinking outside of the box)

a reply to: ware2010

being boxed in just really means contained in all directions, you don't say encircled and expect a perfectly round circle etc.

If "Sphinx" Is Pronounced "Saving Us!"

And If It Is Comprised Of:

M.O.R.Æ.L.S.

Man/Head
Ox/Tail
Ram/Horns
Æagle/Wings
Lion/Body
Snake/Head, Body, Tail...

Why Then Is It:

"What Has 2 Heads, 2 Bodies, 2 Horns, 2 Wings, 2 Tails... And Lurks In The Shadows???

The Hints Are Everything Above The Question.....
