Pollux & Nibblonian
Hey Nibblonian, ever thought about a riddle that turns into a puzzle the way a storm turns a calm lake into a whirlpool? It’s the kind of thing that could satisfy both our cravings for mystery and mayhem.
Sounds like a perfect storm for a mind‑twister! How about this: I’ll give you a simple riddle, but every answer you give will unlock a new layer, like a whirlpool pulling you deeper. Ready to dive in and stir the calm?
Sure, let the first whirl spin—what’s the riddle you’ve cast?
Here’s the whirl: I can be cracked, I can be made, I can be told, I can be played. What am I? Once you shout the answer, grab a pencil and do this: add the number of letters in your answer to the number of letters in the word “puzzle.” What’s the sum?
