Riddle from the Hobbit (Posted on 2003-06-05) Difficulty: 2 of 5
This thing all things devours:

Birds, beasts, trees, flowers;
Gnaws iron, bites steel;
Grinds hard stones to meal;
Slays king, ruins town,
And beats high mountain down.

I mean the Time solution (which as I read isn't Tim's solution)...

I don't understand how time could gnaw iron... Maybe it's just personification or something...
