Can you help me with a riddle?

[Carl East]

Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone here could help me with a riddle. I'm playing a game called Might&Magic VIII and I am crap at riddles. The following is what I'm stuck on, so if you can help it would be appreciated.

A moon colored box meant to be opened from the inside
protects the sun colored treasure of life.
What is it?

Thanks all.

Carl.

An egg?

Well damn I love riddles, and that one through me gor a loop. But After thinking about Friendly Dragon's response, I think that is the answer I would stick with. Even though an egg isn't a box think about it. It is the collor of the moon, it is opened from the inside so it protects the sun colored(baby chicks are yellow, as is the yolk) treasure of life (which is beginning).

I couldn't believe how obvious that was until you told me FD, I think, what was throwing me was the word box. Anyway, it was the correct answer, and thanks to you I went on to beat the rest of the game. Thank you.

And thanks to all you others that had a go too.

Carl.

M&M 8? Dang, I've got 7, and just barely started. Kind of lost interest, though. Darn BB addiction, you know. Just can't stay away from this place.

My advice to you April is stick with B&B 7, it's a very good game. Personally, I've got to look out for another game now. I also finished Star Trek Voyager (Elite Force) and I've got to say, it was brilliant.

I've only played one puzzle videogame that I liked.

The Death Gate Cycle (based on the book series by Tracy Hickman and Margaret Weis) was incredible. The puzzles weren't obvious and some of them took weeks to solve, but suddenly a lightbulb pops into your head and there you have the answer. If there ever was a test which I'd use to measure shrewdness, that game was it.

Actually I'm amazed I got it, I'm normally terrible at riddles. I remember being stuck on one for days once, before I finally got it. It was something like...

There's two guys; one always tells the truth and the other one always lies. How can you tell which is which only by asking them yes/no questions?

Damn I just realised there's a really easy answer to this.
