I don't understand what this stands for: "When people return, two cups and a string will replace it with gifts."

The government one is very clever, although almost impossible to guess. It's vague and more metaphorical than riddles usually are.

[dusken]

People use two cups and a string to communicate through, but since it is not clear communication some words may be confused for other words. Think synonyms. Anyway, that part is more to throw people off than it is to clarify.

Yes, the government one is not well done. Eh. I never said either of the were great. They are very difficult but as far as I can tell, they only have one possible answer each.

[dusken]

Also, the first riddle should probably read, "...may replace it..."

[anileve]

No, the government one was quite clever, I liked it. Absence was more poetic, but impossible to figure out. "Replace it with gifts" was completely confusing, I can see the symbolism of the cups and strings though.

I am going to tell the confusing one to someone who I know is exceptionally intelligent and see if he gets it on his own. In the meantime, if you can think of alternate answers for either one, let me know.

I've already told you that I couldn't guess it, that's why I asked for a solution. I hope I didn't drop too low on your high expectations meter.

I should spank you right out of this thread for being a ridiculous cyst of a human being.

[anileve]

What is unique, likes spanking, uses threats and insults to express his feverish admiration towards an earthly female deity; yet is in danger of being kicked out of the realm she created?

[dusken]

...yet is in danger of being kicked out of the realm she created?

Why would you threaten yourself? That is ridiculous.

That's a wrong answer, please try again. I'll give you 2 hints: "He" "thinks of tattooing 'anileve' on his pelvis."
