I, Austastic, to whom god deemed it necessary to give incredible riddle making ability, will post you guys a riddle. Basically, I will post a riddle (one’s I have come up with! No google for you! …cheaters) and then I will keep it up until either someone solves it or until three days have past. At which point I will decide what to do with it. For each day that passes without the riddle being solved I will give you one additional hint. May inspiration hit you.
